Fun Amidst the Chaos

By Courtney 20 Comments

I’ll tell ya…Memorial Day is a whole lot different when you’re spending the majority of it packing away. But luckily, we still managed to throw some fun into the mix, too.

Starting with breakfast. I mean, things always get a bit more fun when there’s cinnamon rolls involved, right?

cinnamon rolls

And, no, they’re definitely not homemade. I found a can of Pillsbury ones towards the back of the fridge (still good, not expired! although let’s be real…I’d probably still eat them anyways even if they were) so I figured we’d cook ‘em up since the less food we have to move with = the better.

The morning and most of the early afternoon were spent working around the house. I know we’re moving and things are obviously going to get messy, but the unorganized “chaos” that is happening in these last couple of days is driving me crazy.

I honestly just think we’re really, really bad packers. But, hey, whatcha gonna do?

Lucas found ways to keep himself amused while we worked, like turning his Diaper Genie refills packaging into a fancy crown. Now that’s royalty, baby!

Early afternoon, my mom texted me asking if we wanted to go over for a casual BBQ, and since the food situation in our house is just sad, we gave an enthusiastic yes! We spent a couple of hours hanging out outside (it was another beautiful day!) before it was time to sit down and eat.

On the menu: grilled steaks and ribs, homemade macaroni salad, beef noodles, and corn on the cob.

Lucas wanted nothing to do with any of it except the corn on the cob. The kid is crazy about the stuff!

So note to self…stock up on corn on the cob every week from now until the end of summer. Winking smile

And now, I’m getting ready to wind down and watch an episode or two of House of Cards (we finished season 1 a couple of days ago!) while eating a generous sized bowl of this delicious stuff. Mmm mmmmm.

How was your Memorial Day weekend? Do anything fun or exciting??

    Thanks to a nasty cold this past weekend I was able to spend some quality time with House of Cards. I just started season two and I am hooked. I kept doing the typical "just one more" when the episode would end.

    HA! I have to laugh…our toddler has a full plate of yummy options as well and still insists on none of them and fixates on one food. Too funny!

    Ugh. Moving. Sucks so bad. Especially when traveling with food. Less is more, use up what you have. We went camping for most of the weekend, but came back on Sunday, because OMG, was it rainy and just soggy. So much mud. Not a fun way to end things. But it was a nice, low-key weekend spent mostly reading (Jurassic Park), and hanging with my Airman cousin, who rarely gets time off work. <3 So good to see him and his wife again.

    Haha! Lucas is too funny! We had a great weekend - we went to a Memorial Day parade, had a family BBQ and got to relax and spend some time with the babies yesterday.

    I'm pretty sure chaos is destined to happen when you have a little toddler roaming your house while also trying to pack. I can't even imagine so major props to you guys! I love that photo of Lucas with all of his corn. Hilarious!

    Moing is always a challenge! Things get messy before they get better. :-) Our Memorial Day Weekend was quiet...lots of rain so mostly indoor time.
