Happy 4th

everyone! Hope you all had a nice day yesterday. Unfortunately, these were the only two pictures I got yesterday. The big boys were not interested (although I did ask), but did wear red, white, and blue. And Timmy was not particularly cooperative, so this is it.

It was a rainy, coolish day here, so no beach for us. Instead I took the big boys to the movies to see Ratatouille with Nelson too. He had to see it being a chef and all (I just think he wanted to see a Disney movie!). We all had fun. I was going to take Timmy along but I had heard the movie was kinda long and not really ‘actiony’ and I didn’t know if he could sit thru the whole thing. So instead of subjecting everyone to a busy 2 year old in a movie theater, he stayed home with Daddy. I think we were all happier for it.

Today was the boys first swimming lesson at the country club, and it seemed to go well. They can swim (ie go in the pool without drowning) but they can’t really swim with strokes. They want to join the swim team next year, so they kinda have to learn to swim first-hence the lessons.

Looking forward to a hopefully sunny weekend, and our town’s fireworks display on Saturday night. Timmy dosen’t seem afraid of fireworks at all (he loved them at Disney), so this will be his first year going with all of us. The first year we took the big boys- they were a month shy of 3 years old-Patrick was so freaked out, he bit me on the shoulder. They still think that’s hysterical.
