Memorial Weekend 2012

We had a blast on Memorial Day Weekend.  After traveling several times together as a family, Shae had to travel two weeks in a row for work.  We were looking forward to a weekend with no long car rides, but when our neighbors invited us up to their lake house in SC, we couldn't turn down a day at the lake.  So we packed up early Sunday morning and headed to the lake.  Teddy was a little excited:

BEST part of the day: getting to DIG in the sand.  They had tons of fun:

The water was great too:

We were having so much fun e didn't realize how late it was when we finally packed up the car and headed home.  Teddy got all of his favorite things: to swim, ride on a boat, play with his friends, eat chips and chicken nuggets, and digging in the sand.  The drive was under two hours, and luckily Teddy entertained us most of the way.  He sang the same song.  Over. And over. And over again.  For at least thirty minutes this is what we heard:

Of course on Memorial Day we remembered all of the soldiers past and present who have served our country and those who have died doing so.  We will definitely teach this to Teddy as he gets older.  But for now, he seemed to enjoy the long weekend of fun in the sun.  Monday we spent the early afternoon at our neighborhood pool.

All that sun will wear a guy out:

My cousin Jamie was driving through town so we went to my parents' house for dinner.  I think Teddy enjoyed the homemade fudge sauce my mom made:

(Yes my mom keeps it SO cold in her house I need a sweatshirt in Atlanta in the summer).

So the rest of this blog update is not about Memorial day, but I will just put the rest of my pictures on here so for the moment I will be "caught up" on this blog.  This past week I got two cake pop orders...so there have been A LOT of cake pops in our house!

Between a baby shower and a princess party, I ended up making six dozen cake pop!  All that left over chocolate and 6 months pregnant..... so this is what I did:

The chips barely lasted 24 hours but the boys helped me eat them!

For the princess/knight party:

Teddy got into the spirit of things....
