Happy Fourth Of July!

Happy Fourth!

Jerry got a three day weekend, which is always, and I mean always, nice. We slept in today, as late as we could which was around 8am or so, lol. The day was pretty slow and great as a Saturday or holiday should be. We had breakfast burritos for breakfast. We played chutes and ladders, candy land, and a scooby doo memory game today. We built a fort, jumped on the bed, and ran around the house. In the afternoon Jerry and Patrick went to go get my brother. We BBQ'd and it was yummy. I made some baked beans, corn on the cob, salad, and set out some fruit to go with out grilled steaks. Man was it good. The boys ran off and bought some fire works, and then by 8pm we were leaving the house to go see the fireworks display in town. It started to rain, but...our secret little spot, (that was not so secret this year) is near a baseball field, and we hid out in the dugout until the rain stopped, right about 9:15 when the show started. Patrick liked the show, and when the really big ones went off he told me that it made his heart hurt. I knew he was talking about feeling those biggins in his chest, I remember how enormous they were as a child. Patrick kept his ears covered for most of the show, but still liked it and clapped at the end. We took boxes of cracker jacks with us to snack on. Yummmm! After the show we walked back to the car and came home, a short trip, and then the boys did some fireworks at the house. Now as I type, all three of them are at the kitchen table with it covered with Lego's, building. They are building together, singing together, and it truly is the perfect ending to the day. We had a good day, and the best part of all is that I still have my husband for another day!
