It's been quite a weekend. Saturday, Cameron and I headed to the Tanger Outlets to find a present for Aidan's birthday. I love the Croc's store. I found a pair of Steelers Crocs for $9.99 so I got a pair for Cam and a pair of Aidan. Old Navy had a flip flop sale so we picked up a few pairs for each of the boys. Then to the grocery store to pick up the remaining items for my deviled eggs and baked beans for Sunday's picnic at Aunt Sharon's.

I was really looking forward to the picnic as it would give me an opportunity to spend more than a few minutes meeting Fabi, Keith's bride to be. I met her at Brian's wedding in December. After Fabi's shower, we had a chance to connect over our love of reality TV. We discovered that we watch many of the same shows and feel the same way about the stars.

Cameron was making the rounds trying to find someone to spend the night with. I know he gets lonely being pretty much an only child here with just a few friends in the neighborhood to play with. Originally, he was going to Beth and Mike's to play with Aidan, but Mike did not feel well so we had to rein in that idea. Eventually, Grandma ended up with Keara, Riley and Cameron. Grandma forgot to charge her phone so I'm not sure how the experience went.
Glenn and I enjoyed an evening sans children. By time we got home and settled in, it was late so really we just enjoyed going to bed without having Cameron come in and wake us at midnight. I enjoyed sleeping until 10:30 in peace and quiet.
Today, we are heading over to Mom and Dad's for a picnic and cake for Dad's birthday. His b-day is tomorrow, but, he has a church meeting after work and we will be watching the hockey game so Mom put this together as a chance for us all to see him. We gave him our present on Thursday night. A new 26" flat screen tv. Mom mentioned on Mother's day that her tv kept going out...especially during Glenn Beck. Once I heard that, Glenn and I started looking for a tv for them and decided on my birthday to surprise them with one so we could watch the hockey game without fear of it going out at a crucial time. Mom split the cost with us on Saturday, so it's a joint gift from her and us. She also got him Versus so he's been very happy all weekend.

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to the veterans who gave their time and lives to keep our country and other countries safe from tyranny and give us the opportunity to experience democracy in live in freedom. May those values they fought for continue.
