Wishing it was still Memorial Day!

It was back to work yesterday.

It was back to work for all the work I didn't finish yesterday, today.

But, it was a fun weekend!  And a very fun day off.

Saturday was a run/run...first Royal, then my turn.  I love to go at 8am instead of 6am...such a treat!
Royal got a fun golf invite, so off he went, and it was me and the kiddos.  Soccer game, then playing out with our neighborhood friends, until the sun went down.  It was a full road rally with every wheeled toy we own, and the Murrays own, out on the street...and 2 moms on foot trying to keep up!  Jenna and I are seriously outnumbered...I think we need some wheels too!

this looks quite tame...trust me, it really is complete chaos!

Sunday, calm.  Just the way it should be!

Then, Happy Memorial Monday! we started at Walmart.  Somehow always a necessary stop before heading to the beach!  Then, off to Doheny to meet some friends, grill some hot dogs, and dig in the sand!

We are lucky to frequently receive these incoming text from the Moodys:  We are at Dohe...join us! 

Translation:  It will be a fun day at Doheny beach with the Moodys, and plenty of other friends!

We were home exactly 1.5 hours to shower, dress, and bake a little treat for Aunt Whitney's belated birthday!  We met at Cafe Rio with Uncle Ryan, Aunt Whitney and the Kershaws for dinner and cupcakes.

cupcakes, or as Layne would say:  cup-a-cakes

Aunt Ashley...Happy Birthday to you!  One of these in the mail for ya!  Please look for a chocolate & vanilla iced Priority mail box coming your way!  just kidding

NOW:  washing towels, emptying the cooler, putting away beach toys, doing the laundry that got skipped on laundry-day-Monday, vacuuming sand out... of just about everything!  wishing another holiday was in view!
