Independence Day!

Happy July 4th to everyone. I hope you all enjoy your time with your families, being silly, having fun and taking advantage of the great weather. We are off to my brother's house in St.Paul for some huge festivities. The park by his house has a ton things to do for the kids. I am anxious to see what Charlotte thinks of the pony rides. We're going to give it a try, with assistance of course. Maybe they'll have a merry-go-round too. It will be fun for Charlotte to spend time with her cousins on the other side.
Before we head out though we have some major laundry to do. This is the absolutely one chore around the house that I do not like doing. I would rather dust and clean bathrooms. And once you do catch up on laundry you get to finally revel in it's completion and then 5 mns. later there's a hamper full of dirty clothes. It's almost like an abusive relationship that is never going to get better.....unless God blesses me with a laundry fairy.
Have a great 4th and put those Flags out!

We are off to Kevin's grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary up North. Looking very forward to it, especially for Charlotte to play with all of her cousins. This is the first time, that I can remember they have all been together. I think we all may need a drink after the kids go to bed tonight. You get them all together and it's like a circus! A fun circus though. Looking forward to posting some pictures from the trip.
