Having a day off in the middle of the week is REALLY confusing. I was asking people at the end of the day on Tuesday what they were doing this weekend, and then Thursday felt like a Monday. Super odd. But, if someone wanted to give me every Wednesday off, I am sure I could acclimate. Haha.
We had a great 4th of July...it stormed like crazy, but cleared up in the late afternoon/evening. My parents came over for the afternoon and dinner, and then after dinner, Scott, Ava, G, and I headed over to our neighbors for a small fireworks show, and some drinks. And THEN we all (minus Scott and G) trekked down to our normal fireworks spot to cap off the evening. At the end of our street, we have a clear view of the Apple Valley fireworks...but it may be the last time since houses are scheduled to be built at our viewing spot at some point in the future!
Wednesday was a wonderful day off, filled with fun, family, friends, and fireworks! My mom and I also dyed Ava's hair tips a teal color. I think it turned out pretty neat...and next time, she wants indigo. As we learned, though...this color comes out in the pool, and guess who had swimming lessons on Friday? So, the teal tips only lasted two days!
We've had a nice REAL weekend so far, as well. The weather has been perfect...sunny, a little breezy, perfect temps. And good thing, because Scott turned 42 yesterday! Happy Birthday, Scooty! He and my dad finished up the garden fence project they have been working on - it turned out great! You can see where Scott extended the garden by another 10' or so to the left this year.
My parents then took all of us out to dinner for Scott's birthday. We went to King's, where they have 103 different kinds of hamburgers on the menu. It took us forever to decide on what we wanted, but man, they were tasty!
There was a birthday celebration happening two tables away from us...and as the servers walked by, G yelled out that it was his daddy's birthday, too. Guess who was NOT super thrilled to get a candle on his burger, and a song? LOL! But, they did also give him a birthday beer, so that made it all better.
We then stopped at DQ on the way home for some birthday treats...and it was grand. Both Scott and I were lamenting about how full we were once we got home. But, after the kids went to bed, we managed to stay awake to watch an entire movie (ok, ok, he stayed awake, and I think I fell asleep for the last 15 minutes.) But what I saw was funny!
Today is another gorgeous day, albeit a bit warm...it'll be in the 90's today, and we're going to take the kids to the park to burn off some energy and do a few errands. Scott's going to work on staining our front porch, and I'm going to work on finishing up the last of the Harry Potter books. I have a ton of half-finished things...books, scrapbooks, movies, TV shows, etc...and it's driving me nuts. I want to focus on one thing at a time, and start wrapping things up.
It's been a great few days with our loved ones...Happy Sunday!

Broccoli from the garden...yum!

I went for a walk during lunch on Friday and thought this view was so pretty...I've been to the same spot during all seasons of the year, and by far, it's my favorite place to walk!
It's been a great few days with our loved ones...Happy Sunday!
