4th of July

We actually had a nice relaxed holiday for once. Usually we have too much going on but today we pretty much sat around for most of the day and the girls all took a really long nap this afternoon. So Melissa and I got caught up on watching the episodes of The Loop we had on the DVR. Then we went to Bobbie's for a cookout and swim and Katie and Matt came over as well. We gave the girls the choice of going to see the big Edgewater fireworks or staying in the pool and setting off some little fireworks in the driveway and they took option #2. So we set off a few old fireworks we had from like 2 years ago and did some sparklers. Then we went to go home and decided to drive by the Edgewater fireworks and see what was going on up there. It was SUPER crowded and we just watched a few from the road in the car. We hit blockbuster and got the girls the Transformers animated movie. They wanted to see it since Mo and I were talking about the new Transformers movie we saw last night. So now it's almost 10:30 and I let them start the movie but they'll be asleep in about 5 minutes...
