Independence Day

Our Independence Day this year was pretty low key. I had to work again this year. We slept in-which Andy and I both needed. I usually luck out on morning when Andy is home and doesn't have to work. A typical morning has Elliot coming into our room telling us it's time to get up. "The sun is Up" is what he always says, and then he pesters me until I wake up. However, if Andy is there and Elliot notices he skips right over me and heads straight to Andy and tells him it's time to play or something like that. I guess I know where I stand. I'm ok with it though-I generally get an extra hour or so sleep because of it.

After sleeping we just did little things around the house while the kids watched tv. We took a walk to the park that's close to us. James and Elliot both LOVE the merry-go-round. The kids always love going to the park to play and behave really well. I was a little hot and not enjoying the muggy air so we finished up our walk and headed home. Once home I had to get ready to go to work. Andy was good enough to cook supper on the grill and bring me some at work. Once back at home the kids and Andy made s'mores and now that all Elliot wants to eat. Having a low-key Independence Day was ok for me this year-especially since we're gearing up for a long trip next week.
