4th of July

I know, I'm a little behind, but that's me! We had a wonderful 4th. The weather was perfect after a rainy Thurs., but all was well after that. My parents and brother Mike came out for the weekend, and my children were hardly spoiled!! We had fireworks and gosh did we have fireworks, not only us, but the neighbors and people down the road had a big party and they let off fireworks for 4 non-stop hours. Olivia finally got tired of watching them and she was played out anyway from the day, she went in and fell asleep in her tent (she camped in the living room) and Logan slept through it all, which was nice that I got to spend some "adult" time with everyone. Grandma made Logan eat, which he was going through this stubborn stage and only wanted the spoon to chew on and that was it and then would bite down on the spoon and not leave go! He would get mad and make himself almost purple screaming about it.Where did this come from?! So Grandma made him eat and not give in to giving him the spoon and for 4 nights, the child slept all night. Can you even imagine how nice it was (is) to get 4 nights and full sleep? My body doesn't know how to react to that. My dad and Logan kind of have this cave man type communication going on. He knows how to get pap's attention with a grunt and pap gives it right back. How about now, when he farts, he laughs.........such a boy!!!Olivia made this hat at the campground a couple of weeks ago and came home and decorated it. It looks so nice with stars and stripes on it. She's so creative and can draw so well, something she definitely does not get from me. How about when she took 2 magnifying glasses(she wants glasses now that kids have them in her class and her cousin does too), taped them together and used straws taped together as a headband to hold the magnifying glasses on! She looked like Harry Potter on steroids, but it was very creative..........
