Fourth of July

Happy Independence day to all! We had a great day, but it was a lot of work. We had a few friends and nieghbors over for a BBQ and homemade ice cream (all the food was GREAT!). Jack was a bit protective of his toys at first but by the end of the day he was sharing very well with his friends Zachary and Ciara. Surprisingly, with only one nap Jack was still up at ten o'clock which meant he got to do a few things he's never done! We caught fireflies in a jar which he was amazed by and he also got to see his first fireworks set off by our nieghbor. He was so funny saying "woooow" and "boooooom." I'd like to say Molly had a fun day too but she was either teething or stressed by all the people in the house. She did eat her first refried beans (she loved them) and got to have some homemade straweberry ice cream (also a favorite!). Jeff and I ended the very hot and sticky day by cleaning up the yard and doing two loads of dishes! Having kids certainly does change the whole "party" thing. We were so busy keeping track of them and hosting that we really didn't get to relax too much! I suppose it will get easier as they get older....at least I hope so!
