Happy 4th of July Weekend!

Oh-oh say, can you see....

Happy 4th of July! The kids have enjoyed it so far. The neighborhood had a kid parade, with bikes and wagons decorated with flags, and then popsicles at the end when we were all in the final stages of heat stroke.

We also had a cookout and watched a very nice local fireworks display. Liam shows no signs of his previous fireworks phobia, and Natalie enjoyed them a lot. Before we left to see them, she kept saying "Fireworks? In the sky? Oh yes!"

As an update on my caffeine addiction, I have decided not to fight it for the time being. Jim didn't help by bringing me home a Red Bull, saying "sometimes you just have to ride the Bull, honey." (That is a line from The Office...said by Creed when he was trying to act young so he wouldn't get fired for being too old. I think maybe I'm trying to be young again too, when I drink caffeine.) Jim also kindly offered me his beloved Excedrin to combat the headaches, and then I read the bottle and realized each one has about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. No wonder I felt better! So I'm giving up for now. I'll fight that battle another day. The fireworks were very lovely without a headache.

























Those gymnastics classes sure are paying off - look at that perfect hand stand!! :-)
