Memorial Day Fun By: Stella

Memorial Day! This day was packed for us ;-)

Usually we do our garden on Memorial Day weekend, but as you have seen in the previous posts-that's all done! :-) (If you haven't seen the garden post then scroll down on the blog homepage and if you still don't see it click Older Posts)
Anyway-we started out the day by waking to a painted kitchen and a bit of a mess :-P

There is the color! We are really excited as it was hard to find a color that would correspond with our pink counters.  The color on the wall is a touch darker than the counters, and the border above the walls (already there!) works perfectly with it. All in all-a successful beginning to our Memorial Day!

 *Extra Note: Not to do with the painting-but this was a little added touch to our kitchen.  The pots and pans from Mother's Day didn't quite fit in our cupboards, so Dad went out and bought this pots- 'n- pans-holder!

Now for our supper...

 This centerpiece is all of fake flowers--I must admit!--but they all mark special occasions! The recent additions are the large purple and yellow ones from this Memorial Day :-)

MENU:

Corn on the Cob

Fresh Fruit

Dorito Cool Ranch Chips (Family Favorite :-) )

Coleslaw

Potato Salad

Sweet Potato Fries

...AND! The Main Course:

Yummy BBQ(ed) Ribs! 

I didn't contribute much to the main meal, other than setting the table, but I DID make dessert!

Chocolate Pudding Pie

 Filia came to the table-ready to eat-plate in hand!

What on earth am I supposed to do with this?

Let's try eating it with a fork...

Rus came ready to eat too! Leo was rather alarmed at his apparel, (note the shirt! :P) but he apparently believes that it is just right...

Here comes Tert!

Can't a photogenic guy even eat his chips in peace? No?

  

Oh all right!

Filia personally like the chocolate pie.

Happy Memorial Day!
