Bethany’s last day of school was two Fridays ago (June 21st). I’ve been on a normal work schedule since and have missed my time with the kids each morning! Besides the normal work of taking care of them all day, Bethany’s been extra busy with them – they’ve gone to several different play places/gyms, started doing a gymnastics class, have gone to story time, several parks, and swimming. All of that is in spite of the week of thunderstorms!
We signed papers on Tuesday night to put our condo up for sale. It was exciting to see it show up on Zillow on Thursday morning. I’d include a picture of the lockbox on our door but it wasn’t there when we left yesterday morning (after the first frenzied house-cleaning for potential buyers of what I’m sure will be too many!)…
We spent yesterday with Bethany’s family at Aunt Kathy and Uncle Bill’s for their 2nd annual July 4th party. Despite the heat, we were outside for quite a bit (not counting our group to the pool) and the kids were Exhausted (yes, with a capital “E”!).
Afterwards, we drove back to Beth’s parents house and picked up some small fireworks (from Walmart, nothing crazy!). Every year (this year included), we’ve wanted to do sparklers with the kids but we haven’t gotten to it. Lilly had a bad experience with fireworks last summer (she doesn’t like the loud noise) and since has been anti-fireworks. It took some effort but she was willing to sit and watch the little ones we’d bought until one unfortunately started making the loud crackling sound as it sparkled. She (understandably) freaked out and wanted to watch the rest from inside! (Later, she made a cautious journey back outside and made an admirable effort to enjoy them!)
