Happy 4th Everyone!

Our 4th of July started a day early. William got a day off work and we took full advantage of it! We stated off with a calm morning... sleeping as late as we could, then eating breakfast at home. Then it was time to run! We went to Harris' play class then to Dee Dee's house for some pool time! (Thanks Dee Dee!) We were all exhausted so we came home for rest.

Thank goodness we did! After a quick dinner, we ran off to Southlake Town Center for fireworks with friends. We met, Karen and her boys, Michaelle, Eric and their son, and Kristi and Don and their son. After meeting up we had Piccomolo ice cream then went to the lake to watch the fireworks. We were so close to them. It was a great show! But getting out of there and getting home was difficult! We didn't get home till 11:15 pm!

Today we took the kids to McDonald's for breakfast then to Home Depot for the workshop. They got to make a Picnic Basket, but the kids just want to carry their toys in them. We let the kids pick out paint colors and we came home and painted them. Then we rushed out to try a new restaurant, Our Place. It's a lot like Black Eyed Pea. It was yummy and they serve breakfast at any hour. While we had lunch, the kids split a pancake.

Later in the evening, we went to a local church for some food, bounce houses and fun. The kids had fun bouncing and then running crazy in the field. We let them run all their energy out and came home to get ready for fireworks. We changed them into their jammies and went out to the mail box to watch fireworks. What a great day!

Happy Independence Day, 2009!
