Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone got to enjoy the day with family and friends and remember those who gave it all for our freedom.
What a long crazy weekend. My sister stayed with us since Thursday night and left on Monday afternoon. It worked out really well since we decided to move the guest bedroom in the basement. Rachel and the boys had their own little apartment down there. Of course Micah loved every minute of having live in brothers at his house. Every morning he was excited to go see them.
Friday night both Craig and Rachel got home early so we had frozen pizza and went out for ice cream and then headed to the park.
Saturday we had a neighborhood 4th of july pool party. Tons of food and fun. We were all thinking of Maggie and were concerned for her. The funeral for her husband is this Friday. Which has proven difficult to find a babysitter for. Right now I would really love my parents or in law to live close by. This is the tough part of living far.
Sunday Micah, Craig and I went to church and caleb was a little under the weather so they stayed back. Also we tired something new on the grill. Hotdogs shaped cheeseburgers. Wrap ground meat around a stick of cheese and seal it up. I saw it on Pinterest and it was fun to eat and the boys liked it!!
That night we rode the 4 wheelers down the neighborhood and on the way home got caught in a rain storm. We ended up just letting the kids jump around in the puddles since they were already soaked from the rain. I think they loved it.
Monday we took it easy and made French toast in the morning and then went out to lunch before the boys left.
We finally took Micah to see his first fireworks. We realized it was his 3rd 4th of July and thought he was a good age to see them. We went to Marietta square and found a spot and even though M didn't go to bed till 11pm he was still super happy and singing and loving every minute of our family time. Sometimes you have to break the sleep rules to have a little fun!!
Love you all
