Memorial Day weekend was full of fun with friends and family this year. We went to a crawfish boil over at the Arrants on Saturday afternoon. The kiddos swam and played while the adults were able to catch up.

| Ave has a slight obsession with Lily. She loves to be near her, talk to her in an extremely high pitched voice, and rub her head. I hope this is a good indication of how she will be when Chloe enters the picture! |
On Sunday, we went to my parents' house to swim and celebrate my birthday.
 |
| The latest stray that my mom took in. Avery walked him all over their house. |
 |
| A black widow spider was found in a spider web by the pool. My dad donned a manly purple glove and all the guys assisted in removing it. |

| Loving her pool day |

| Playing in the pool with Uncle Andrew |

| About to blow out the candles |
Throughout the course of the extended weekend, I had been getting paint samples for the nursery. When we moved out of the old house, I wrote the paint color from Ave's nursery down in the notes section in my phone. Somehow it must have gotten deleted. I really loved the green that we had used and tried one paint sample after the next trying to find something similar. After 4 unsuccessful samples, I got the bright idea to color match the green in the pillow. Finally, we found a color that we liked and painted the nursery that Monday.

| My many options |

| The finished product. It's hard to tell the color here with all the light streaming in but I love it and am glad it's done! |
To finish out the weekend, Bill and Ave had a little dance session. Almost every day Avery asks Bill to twirl with her. I hope she always wants to do this :).
I live for holidays like these. We had lots of down time, spent time with friends and family, and actually accomplished some things around the house. I'd say it was a good weekend!
