Well this really covers 2 weekends. We had a great time at Big Daddy and Meme's last weekend. We went to the pool (no one really got in) Zaylei put on her suit and sat on the step. It was a bit cold. Zaylei walked Pepper and had no problem warming up to her. We spent Saturday afternoon walking around downtown Apex and going in little shops. We had a great lunch where I had the craziest hamburger. Hamburger, Bacon, Cheddar, and Peanut Butter. Sounds strange I know but it was good. We just relaxed and hung out the rest of the weekend. Then we flew home Sunday and back to work Monday. Matt didn't get to go with us because he spent the previous week in the hospital with Asthma and breathing issues in general. He is starting to feel better and is going to make some changes to his diet to help with his continued recovery.

Wednesday Zaylei started back to Jellybean for the Summer. She will go Wednesdays and Fridays. She is very excited! She has been asking for months...literally 6-8 months when she can go back to Jellybean. She does love it there. Yesterday she asked me when she could go back to school though because she missed Mrs. Marcy and Mrs. Katie. It is a little confusing to a 4 year old. Here is a picture of Zaylei on her first day back to Jellybean.
Zaylei got dressed up in her Roller Skating gear. She looks like she is going to the Roller Derby (Thanks Rhonda for pointing that out....LOL) Hillarious. This girl asks me frequently when we can go skating and ice skating as well. We will definitely have to go soon. Well, when weekends aren't spent having fun in the sun. Maybe on a rainy weekend.
I started out the weekend "Painting the Town Purple" We painted a few more ribbons on the road and re did the words on the ones we had already painted. Then Zaylei and I spent the afternoon outside planting the flowers on the patio. Looks nice now. Can't wait to really get everything all set up, inside and outside, around here.
Memorial day morning we spent doing a little learning. Played with the trace and lace cards and then learned a little addition. She did pretty well at the addition and knew exactly what to do with the trace and lace cards. She did those at school this year. Last time I tried them with her she was probably too little. She had fun today. She will be doing algebra next week. That girl was doing great with the addition cards.....If I could just get her to stop skipping 15 when she counts.
After the cards we went SWIMMING. Mommy and Zaylei's favorite thing to do. Thanks to our best friends Charlsie and Michael Keith we get to go every weekend. It is really a ritual we started last summer. Swimming Summer Sundays. Oh, I live for those days!!!!!! Here is the bathing beauty in her Memorial Day Suit.
Unfortunately Matt didn't get to spend the weekend with us. He went to West Virginia to have some family time with his Dad, Mom, sisters and their families. I know he has had a nice time but we missed him here. I will be spending the next 2 weeks drowning in or buried in Relay for Life which is on June 10. I can't wait until the big day is over. I'm anxious to see how it goes and I need some time to get my house in order before Matt's sister and her family come to visit in July. It is going to be a busy and fun Summer!!!!!!
