Neither Jeff nor I are big July 4th celebrators. I'm all for sitting & watching a well put together fireworks display, but I'm not a fan of lighting them. I prefer to keep my limbs & face intact.
I didn't sleep well Sunday night as the neighbor kids were still lighting off fireworks after midnight. I spent the afternoon cleaning house, Jeff doing yardwork, while the kids slept. But we managed to have ourselves a fun afternoon/evening. We tried going to the pool. Tried, meaning we got there at 3:36 only to discover it was closing at 4. So we rather swam & played in our back yard. Had a yummy "All American" supper of spaghetti! We talked about staying up late & going to watch a fireworks show. But mama & papa were tired & not up for dealing with late night tantrums or the concern of 3 kiddos being scared of the "boom". So we all went to bed early & we all managed to sleep pretty well through all the late night booms. And I must say, I quite enjoyed my 10 hours of sleep!! I need more of those kind of nights in my life!
We hope you all had a wonderful 4th, however you chose to celebrate!

SO hard to get a picture of all 3 of them!
Watching the "boom"s out the front window. Both Livi & Hayden can say "Boom!"
Sprinkler Fun!
Logan
Olivia
She got brave enough to run through on her own!
Hayden got the hang of it too!
This is their new dangerous act!
Hayden took a break & did a little "cooking"
Logan did some swimming. Our 1st "real" swimmer on his belly!!
Livi did the "girl" thing. Chillin' by the pool catching some rays!
We had a fun afternoon!!
