Happy 4th!

With all the excitement of Korri’s doctor visits earlier this week, I forgot to mention that the kiddos had an overnight at NeNe’s house on Saturday. We had plans to go to a friend’s quasi-housewarming party and while I THINK the kids would have been invited, I knew we’d have a better time without them there. Luckily, DeAnn was free and willing to take the kiddos. The nice things about the ages they are at right now are 1. We no longer have to pack up the house…just a small overnight bag and the pack-n-plays. 2. They are old enough so it is manageable having them at the same. 3. Korri seems to finally be over her inability to sleep in foreign places (although, I still cross my fingers every time!). 4. No special food required for either of them, which makes is so much easier. Of course, all these things pale in comparison simple to the fact that both kids LOVE NeNe to death! Maybe we can set up an every other weekend schedule ;)

I have been sick this week. Sick, like barely got out of bed Sunday, called in sick to work on Monday, worked a half day Tuesday and took a three hour nap yesterday (after staying in bed until after 10)! Sheesh. That being said and considering the fact that it was close to one million degrees outside, our July 4th was very low-key. We had a lazy pajama day until late afternoon when we ventured out to DQ for a treat. Finn ordered Sprite…no ice cream, just sprite. The rest of us enjoyed some blizzards. We also ran to Target, but of course, the pharmacy was closed so we couldn’t pick up Korri’s new meds. Argh. Since there was no way Korri was going to be able to stay up late enough for us to enjoy fireworks in person, we put her to bed and let Finn’s stay up to watch them…on TV! He loved it and kept saying which color was his favorite (which at one point or other it was ALL of them!). I hope we are able to go in person to see some next year, although the TV was nice this year because I think when it came down to it, the noise would have scared him. It is so much fun to experience these things through the eyes of your children.
