I have decided I have mixed feelings about the 4th of July, I think it is a great holiday and I love all the fun activities, but it is more exhausting than Christmas. My boys slept out on the tramp at my mom's with my sisters and brother (the good sports, not me I have a comfy bed next door). They did not sleep at all! I think they got about 4 hours of sleep and that was disturbed sleep, it was not good for the 6 o'clock wake up call that the fire station does. So we had two meltdowns by 10 and I think I was about to melt down, I even suggested that we go camping next year over the 4th, I am sure I will change my mind, but surely we are not sleeping on the tramp until the boys are older and can handle no sleep (whenever that is?).
After Cameron threw up all over me and him and Becky's carpet we all took a 2 hour nap, and felt better and had a great evening of barbecue with friends and fireworks watching. Maybe it was just me, I think I am ornery on the 4th too! It starts at 6 am and goes until 11 pm with no time for a breath, it is just exhausting.
Braxton won the largest prize in the raffle at the park, the Bike. It is more like my size, but it is awesome and we will get much use out of it.
