4th of July...a blast or a bust?


The 4th of July was pretty fun for us. It started out that we were going to go to the gym in the morning and when we got there, the kid's club was closed:( So, we changed our mind and took them to a park on 42nd Street & Campbell. There was NOBODY there, we had the whole park to ourselves...it was nice! No worries about "is one of my kid's going to make another kid mad?" or "is another kid going to make one of mine mad?", it was awesome!
Then we came home and Grandma Kathy and MiMa came over to see the kid's in their 4th of July outfits. Marley wore a handmade dress I bought from eBay that was adorable and Christopher & Jaxon wore matching Gap logo 4th of July shirts. They looked very cute and festive in their little outfits and I loved it!


After the kids had lunch, Julia came over to babysit so Javier and I could go to a 4th of July pool party. Stephanie and Phil hosted the pool party at Larry & Kim's awesome salt water pool...full of delicious food including Pesto Scallops and chips w/ guacamole...mmm!
So, Javier had to leave early to relieve his mom from her duties at our house, but he let me hang out longer by the pool. A few hours later, he came to pick me up and while we were driving home Christopher and Marley fell asleep. Now, by this time it was 6:45pm and it would have completely messed up their bedtime if we woke them up. So, we didn't get a chance to see fireworks at all this year!! I can't believe it, I feel so bad...oh, well...there's always next year!


BTW...I took a lot of cute pictures of my kids in their outfits, but I can't seem to locate them and they have been deleted from the camera SD card...bummer:(
If I find them, I will post 'em.
