This Independence Day was a great day.
Alan had to study in the morning, but came home at lunchtime so that I could run some errands while the kids napped. After naptime, we went over to our friends' house to go swimming. It was lots of fun to enjoy the pool with our kids.
We ended up staying for dinner and visiting til bedtime. It is just sweet to spend time with friends. We don't do it enough! After we left, we came home and caught fireflies with Caleb. (The Shelton's yard is awesome for fireflies!). He was thrilled. He was even able to catch some himself. Then, to top it off, we went down the street to a church parking lot to watch our neighborhood golf course's fireworks display. Asher didn't seem to mind a bit. Caleb didn't like them too much until he figured out that it wasn't so loud if he plugged his ears. Then he kept saying, "Fireworks are so pretty. Fireworks are humongous!"
We put the kids to bed as soon as we got home around 10 and headed that way ourselves. Overall, a lovely day!
* update on Real Food month- yesterday was the first day that I really wanted to cheat. I wanted to go get ice cream so bad to celebrate, but Alan helped me stay strong. I also put Ranch on my salad at our friends' house, but I'm trying to not be a total crazy about it :)
** Honey whole wheat brownies are NOT very good. Anyone have suggestions for moist** brownies without sugar???? Or any desserts (with chocolate) and no sweeteners except honey or maple syrup???
