We had a really simple, fun 4th of July (well, actually the evening before). Our whole family has kind of been out-of-sorts this past week-- Everly cut two teeth, had an upset tummy and a horrible diaper rash (my girls' biggest side affect of teething, so sad!). I have been dealing with first-trimester exhaustion-- running a business, being with my girls during the day, keeping the housework maintained and doing our normal running around has wiped me out! Eden has been having bad dreams during nap-time which have resulted in less sleep than normal and Josh has been working a lot and not getting enough sleep (but that's his usual!)!
So despite how we felt, we made ourselves get out in the heat and had a wonderful time at our neighborhood's 4th of July extravaganza. There were bounce houses, a live concert band, boat races, food trucks and more. As the sun set, everything lit up in light hues of pink and it was just a gorgeous setting being right there by the lake! We absolutely love our little town and are really enjoying raising our kids here. It's been fun to have our own little adventure away from the comfort and security of our hometowns!
We left around 7:30 pm to get home to put the babies in bed but of course I let Eden stay up to watch the fireworks from the house. We got a great view of them going off in Tucson from my bedroom and then also from Eden's bedroom which faces the direction of the lake where the fireworks were going off. I let her stand up on her dresser and look out her window to watch them-- her face lit up like Christmas Day! Oh the joys of a child! She absolutely loved it and asked for more then next morning when she woke up :) Hope you had a wonderful 4th! xo
