How was your 4th?

What did you do?



It poured all day long. I cleaned house and homeschooled all day. Then we went to the petting zoo that is visiting town. Kate wanted to ride the camel, but they were closing. Maybe we'll do that today. The town fireworks are tonight. I hope we don't get rained out.

It was rainy here. I had to work until 2pm and then I took the kids in to town for the parade. We spent the evening at a the kid's babysitter's house cooking out and talking before heading in to the park for fireworks. It was a muddy mess.

Cooked out with the neighbors. Just hung out all day while the kids played. We skipped on the fireworks because it's a hassle with all the traffic, plus it was thundering and lightening.

Let's see... I got to work 7a-8pm and got to orient 2 new grads. I hauled butt home to try to get to the fireworks, but didn't get there in time to go w/the neighbors, so we went anyway - then the cell didn't work in BFE, so we never caught up with them. Maybe tomorrow for the parade...

The fireworks weren't rained out after all. We had fun. The kids especially had a great time. Then, we went for a walk and watched all the illegal fireworks people were setting off. I am planning on taking the girls for a picnic at the schoolgrounds today.

We didn't have as much fun as I'd hoped. We are in stage 2 water restrictions so the police were out really enforcing the no fireworks within city limits. Every other year it's NEVER been a problem. Fireworks are a highlight of my year and I only get them twice. I was REALLY bummed.

Re: How was your 4th?

I spent Wed, Thurs and Fri CLEANING, so Friday night I decided I needed the night off. DH took the kids to his parents for dinner. Then he came home, followed by SIL and her 2 youngest coming over. We watched 4 neighbors set off fireworks - the kids loved it! Then she helped me go thru boxes and ended up spending the night. We got to bed at 4am.

Saturday was last minute stuff for the BBQ, which was a blast! I think we had 25 people here, but I haven't done an official headcount. The kids decorated cupckes (red, white and blue icing + toppings) and then we set off more fireworks. Went to bed about 3AM.

Sunday was rest and recuperation! Did a little cleanup, but not all of it. WIll finish up today.

All in all, we had a pretty good weekend!
