All American Girlies!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We had a pretty nice one, aside from the thunderstorm that ruined our swimming time. It hasn't rained in hmmm, like forever and it decided to come just in time for the 4th festivities. The girls were dead set on seeing the fireworks, so we had dinner(which was so much fun and not a fiasco at all! See we do rock as parents! Teehee! Fun times Hens!) , bathed them and headed out around 9ish and waited for the big show at 10. Anna was super excited and sat and waited with her fingers in her ears and Lily wasn't sure what to expect since she had never really seen them. We had some nice family time and I was thinking it was good that we went since next year I'll probably be at home with the baby. Lily was slightly jumpy about the loudness, I guess. She liked it but yet at the same time she didn't. She watched them like you might look at a car wreck, where you want to see but at the same time you really don't. Earlier in that morning they watched the movie Coneheads, (anna likes it, don't ask) and Lily was also rather disturbed by that as well. Later that afternoon she wouldn't go in her room because the "coneheads" might be in there. So between the fireworks and the damn movie we traumatized her for the day! Hope everyone had a great holiday!
