A Day Off

My family hasn't figured out that Memorial Day is a day off from work. We were invited to go spend some time at the cabin over Memorial Day weekend...to work. My brother finished the cabinets for the kitchen in the cabin. But the old cabinets needed to be removed, along with the tile and carpet in the kitchen. So we pretty much had to demolish the entire kitchen. Everyone was starting bright and early on Monday morning, so we were debating about whether we should stay the night or not at the cabin. We've kind of shied away from staying the night at the cabin with 2 kids. It's hard enough to get them to sleep through the night in their own beds. We decided to try it anyway. So we packed up half of the house and headed out on Sunday evening. It really was worth staying.


Kennedy absolutely loves it at the cabin and she had a blast. Both kids slept pretty good and the next day when Kennedy woke up, she kept telling me she was tired and she would climb up into the loft and play in her bed. As always, Alex was up at the crack of dawn, ready to take on the world!


Jared was the designated worker out of the two of us. I got out of most of the work because of the kids. Although chasing 2 kids around is a pretty good workout. The demolition crew got through the kitchen in no time and they were done before noon. We ended with a BBQ and actually headed home pretty early. So we decided to join up with Jared's family for another BBQ. I guess it's okay on Memorial Day to eat lots of grilled meat. Despite the work, it was a fun day and it was nice to spend some time with family.
