It was HOT here. The neighborhood picnic was a ton of fun. The kids spent forever in the bounce house. When it was over I felt like poo so I played inside with M2 while DH started cutting up some of our trees.
It stormed last night and is thundering now so I think today might be a lazy kind of day.
Re: How was your 4th?
We did all the fireworks our state will allow in our yard yesterday with the kids and then had a baseballl game in the evening.
I'm actually pretty proud of myself and how tolerant to the heat I have become. It doesn't bother me much anymore. However, I do keep an eye on the kids and make sure they're hydrated and sunblocked since we're outside for hours on end every day.
We took the kiddo over to my IL's Tuesday night so he could go to a parade with my SIL, nieces, and IL's. I had no desire to take DefConn out to a parade with it being so hot.
DH had to work.
So DefConn and I hung out in the morning and early afternoon. We played and napped and shared a ham sandwich. After lunch we went to the store and then headed over to my IL. But they weren't home yet, so I went and got us a blizzard from DQ and we sat in my IL's front yard, in the shade, and enjoyed it while we waited. We spent the rest of the day hanging out inside.
Yay for new flooring!
I swear I'm less heat tolerant than ever. Somehow I managed to work in a papermill (with jeans, steel toes, hard hat) with 6let and now I'm dying in shorts and a tank.
And to prove I'm not a terrible cook- I made a broccoli slaw for the picnic. DH was carrying the bowl back to the house with 2 niehgbors in tow. They wanted the recipe. Take that MIL and your chicken schit sandwiches. She swears either my mom or I made that and I swear neither of us will even eat it let alone make it.
It was hot. I tried my best, I enjoyed it regardless. I finished ~3 minute slower than last year. Which isn't horrible, since I haven't run a step since June 2. And I didn't die. WIN!
It was very hot and low key. H and I watched 3 episodes of Shameless and then he went to work. I went to Kohls and found some cute clearance earrings and sandals. I spent the rest of the afternoon/evening in the AC plowing through the dvr. H watched the city fireworks out the window at work.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
[QUOTE]Also, I just went down to congratulate my uncle on his good finish, and he showed me a picture of me running with my belly hanging out of my shirt. BAH! classy

You don't have a belly to hang, you lying liar who lies.
Once everyone came back, we ordered pizza and started our Hard Cider tasting party. Everyone brought different types of cider to share. It was fun, even if I did only get to drink a little sip of each because I was driving. My favorite was J.K.'s Scrumpy - an organic farmhouse cider out of Michigan and it was AH-MAZING. It was smooth and tasted just like regular, fresh non-alcoholic cider. I can see me getting drunk off of this really quick.
While we drank, we watched the hot dog eating contest and got totally grossed out.
We went home at about 6 and relaxed until it was time to go to our neighborhood's fireworks show. I pink puffy
They started the fireworks about 15 minutes early because there was a storm coming in. As soon as they ended, a lightening storm started. We ran back to our car, and got home before the rain hit. But then right when DH started reading DD her bedtime story, the electricity went out. I remained calm on the outside, but on the inside I was freaking the F out because I had just restocked our refridgerator the night before. I am not cool with rebuying food multiple times. Fortunately, the electricy came back on a little after midnight. So at least I got a little sleep. although you couldn't tell by how hard I'm dragging today.
as long as we're not having a severe drought, fireworks are "legal" in TX. I think most of the HOAs ban them, but nobody really cares. We didn't buy any (although might for New Years) - so DK and I just sat out in our hot tub and watched all of the fireworks the neighbors were setting off. some of them put on a really goos show.
we were undecided about what we were doing until about 4pm yesterday. we ultimately went to a friend's place and then to watch fireworks.
