On this lovely Memorial Day weekend, we blessedly had no plans. We stayed home all weekend! No t-ball, no get togethers, no dances...nothing! It has been wonderful.
We have been busy working on getting the boys' swing set finished. And can I just say that is a royal pain to put together. I write this as though I single-handedly worked on this project, when the truth is, I have done very little towards contributing to this job. Eric has steadily pieced this monstrous thing together. However, yesterday I got to help because we were at the stage of putting the roof on. I am little enough to fit up inside the clubhouse to piece the roof pickets together. And by little I mean short. Now I feel as though I have done my part to help!
Today we are organizing and cleaning. It feels good to have a clean house. I am actually typing this on my desktop computer in the office which has been out of commission for several months because I haven't bothered to put my desk in order.
Anyhow, nothing earth shattering has been happening. I will try to be better about reporting on the day to day fascinating events of the Forcey Family!
I will add some pictures to this post a bit later. I promise! See, I said I promise...so now I have to stick to it!

As promised in my post up above, here are a few photos. Don't get too excited. They are just random things from around the house.
Sometimes you just gotta eat cake. No special occasion other than the fact that my husband nor I have any will power. We picked up these beauties at Costco. The kids in my class have been arriving with these suckers for birthdays. Ugh! Can you imagine 31 kids hopped up on all that frosting at 10:30 in the morning? I think our batch will hit the garbage by the morning.
Slightly blurry picture of the half finished playset. It's getting there.
See those "picket" things up there at the top? That's what I did! I think they look pretty nice!
Here's the child that doesn't want to stay in his own bed. Last night when he came in our room at 1 a.m, I told him to look out the window and tell me what he saw. He responded with "trees." As Eric snorted out a laugh, I led him to the correct answer of, "THERE IS NO SUNSHINE...SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE OUT OF YOUR BED...GET BACK TO YOUR BED RIGHT THIS MINUTE." This child is testing us right now. So is the other one, but at least he can't get out of his crib...yet.
There. A post and photos. I will try to do better than a once a month post. I have 14 days of school left. Evan graduates from Junior K in 5 days. I can't believe we are at the end of the school year. Eric is still getting his kidney checked out. He likes the new urologist he is seeing. We are hoping that they will be able to freeze the tumor rather than do surgery. We'll know more in early June. Hudson is walking, talking, and driving us all bonkers. We love him.
First off, it was a lovely pic of you and Eric on a joyous occassion! Second, the play set looks great! I'm glad that you had such a low-key weekend. Those are so nice!
