Our weekend

Allen took Friday off so we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese. Fun. Trey & Madison both love that place so my sister gave the kids gift cards for their birhtday's so we used those. That place will drive you crazy but the kids love it. Friday afternoon we met Allen's parents in Cullman & the kids went home with them for the weekend. Yeah! They had so much fun. My in-laws took them swimming Saturday then they all went to dinner with my parents. Madison told me that she forgot to miss me because she was having so much fun. We picked them up Sunday afternoon. While they were gone we decided to clean out the area of the basement where Allen keeps his tools & stuff. When we moved, we just dumped it & never went through it to organize it. It was impossible to find anything. I wish I had thought to take a before picture. Allen made a workbench with a piece of pegboard on the back so that he can hang his tools, nails, etc. & be able to find it easily. We found a very nice shelving unit at Lowe's on sale for $40, half off. Yippee! It feels so good to have it organized now.

Sunday night we went tailgating at the church & then watched fireworks. The children's department's theme was a luau.

the girls love watermelon
The Alabaster Fire Department came in time for fireworks, just in case, and Trey loved looking at & sitting in the fire truck.

I will post more pics to the kids' website later tonight.
