The Kiefer Crew: Is it Friday yet?

This past weekend was so super busy that I'm feeling like I need a weekend already and this one isn't even over! Maybe it was the heat and humidity here this weekend but I am zapped and so are the kids.

The weekend started with a full day at the Tennis Club for lots of fun in the sun. We had lots of friends there to play with so the kids were in heaven. Both kids ended the day by jumping off the diving board so they were thrilled. Friday night we had the DeCuire family over for a casual BBQ which was really fun. We sat around laughing and telling old stories. Julie and I have been friends since we were 3!

Saturday we were up early for a birthday party for Ragen's playgroup friend Caley Newcomer. Her mom Julie threw an amazing party at Rainbow and the kids had a blast! The parents were a little concerned over the heat and the fact that the kids were running like crazy, climbing, and jumping on the trampolines. We had to leave that party early to go to a lunch that Jeremy's mom was having for some of Jeremy's high school friends/families. More outside time and by now, it was cookin'! We got home and were lucky to be invited over to the Tucker's for dinner - they have air conditioning!! Madison, Ragen & Maggie played in their blow-up pool/slide for about 2 straight hours. We huddled around the TV to watch Michael Phelps last race and then it was time to head home.

Today was cloudier but so muggy! Jeremy's company had their summer picnic at our friends' the McCarthy's house. Last summer they built a gorgeous outdoor living room (complete with plasma tv for Olympics watching) and a pool. They had a bouncy house and pickleball so today was another day without respite from the heat. The kids had a ball and it was fun to get together with the ever-expanding Brighton Jones group.

So, we conclude this very busy weekend by saying "sleep snug as a bug in a rug." I know I will!
