MEMORIAL DAY, MARATHONS, AND MEAT

Memorial Day weekend couldn't come soon enough! This year has been super stressful at work and everyone needed a break. We were planning on laying low and thats what I did on Saturday...to be honest...if I didn't feel as good as I did I would have thought I was sick. I didn't move until 3 when Abbie came down with some lunch leftover because she figured I had been to lazy to eat. HAHA. This brings me to my next point...I didn't know Memorial Day weekend is a popular weekend for TV show marathons...there was a NCIS one which was the main reason for my lethargy, a Jon and Kate Plus 8 Marathon which made me despise the mother (Kate), among others. I was in heaven! The only thing that got me off the couch was the idea to make cupcakes. Nick's birthday was the perfect excuse. Abbie and I got birthday wrappers an candles and our favorite find of mix...I completely forgot Nick hates cake. They were delicious! We enjoyed Oregon's perfect summer weather with 3 cook outs. I ate more meat this past weekend than I usually eat in a week. Hotdogs, sausages, chicken, more hotdogs, sandwiches, bacon...it is was from a mammal we ate it. It was amazing! We bought some outdoor toys and the three of us played volleyball, and wiffle ball. It was a perfect 3-day weekend!
