Busy holiday weekend

I love 3-day weekends.  It's Memorial Day weekend and so that also means, we are getting very close to Bobby's birthday!  But in the meantime, we are getting a few other things taken care of.

Graham and Charlie finally have their annual eye exams.  They had their eyes dilated so it's so funny seeing them in their "fun" sunglasses:

Charlie's has a slight far-sightedness and Graham's far-sighted prescription didn't change much, so I guess that's good news?!  His new frames/glasses will be done in a couple of weeks.  It's amazing how expensive specialty lenses are compared to what basic (plastic) ones cost.  Sheesh! Anyhow, did I mention how lucky these boys are!

And speaking of lucky, the swimming pool at the club has opened up!

It's a record almost 5-hr day at the club by the pool.  Bobby and I would play tag where he would go practice golf first and then, he would come by to the pool and I would go next to practice golf. Ha!  The boys definitely got some sun and the new swim coach was shocked to still see us at the end of her day.  She said that Graham and Charlie won't have any issues with swim practice.  Yes, we decided to sign them up for a summer swim club. It will be their first time being part of a swim team and competing between clubs, so we'll see how they do!

Daddy has been doing great cooking up some more meals. Yay!! 

This one is chicken will an apple reduction sauce, with mashed potatoes, and green beans.  Good job, daddy!!

And we took Daddy out for dinner tonight (although he still paid - ha ha!) to one of our favorite restaurants:

Food is still as good as I remember it!

Bobby managed to score a free dessert and a candle to blow out for his (early) birthday:

And oh, he also bought a new bike yesterday! 

Hoping to get all of us on a bike trail - after my golf qualifier that is. Knowing me, I'd fall and scrap or break something so better to be safe than sorry :-P

Managed to hang some lights tonight in the back patio. I hope that stick in the planter holds up in the middle. Just waiting for that first summer storm to let me know. LOL!

Still need to hang more lights by the seating area and along our picnic bench.  And I couldn't remove the Christmas lights that are currently hung up because a bird decided to make a nest right by the downspout!

We just took a quick peek and there are 4 little eggs in there. Awww...! There are so many birds nest by so many downspouts around the house. I think this one is #4?!  And Bobby mentioned this morning and that one bird was making a nest on top of the outdoor heater, where the flame would be.  Sheesh!! Thankfully the nest was still work-in-progress and there were no eggs, so Bobby was able to remove it.

We have something planned for Bobby tomorrow. I wonder if we should blindfold him while we drive him there. Ha! Stay tuned for the post and photos :-)

And oh, Charlie has already managed to lose his phone at school.  We are guessing it is still at school but for whatever reason, there's an app on his phone that is telling us that the phone is in a lake a few miles away from school. LOL!!  I guess we will find out tomorrow morning when we go searching for Charlie's phone at school during drop-off. It's only been a week since he's had it.  Again,... kids, I tell you!!
