4th of July

As I write I'm hearing fireworks exploding outside, hoping that the brahm lullaby and the fan will be sufficient in keeping Zuri and Urijah asleep tonight. 

It's 4th of July! Our little family is not very efficient in observing holidays in general but today was different thanks to grandma and grandpa Schamel. Ok so let's recap. Zuri is starting to feel better. She's not hundreds yet but there's a definite sleep improvement. This morning she and I slept in until 11:30am. Can I get an amen! Because that sleep was equivalent to a prayer...well not really but still very calming. I woke up refreshed and feeling like a whole human being for the first time in days. Dear husband and Urijah were out being social butterflies at the ward pancake breakfast. Upon their return we all got ready to enjoy the 4th of July party. An overall good time with family and friends. The kids enjoyed some pool time while the adults chatted and feasted on the delicious food. Dear husband wasn't able to fully relax with everyone as he had to be at work at around lunchtime. He did stay long enough to eat and honestly, isn't that the most important part of any party? The food? 

Oh boy, some incredibly loud fireworks just hit...and the little ones are still sleeping...wow, just wow!

How funny (as in funny strange, not funny haha) is it that fireworks used to be something I thoroughly looked forward to when I was little. And now I'm cool as long as they're done by 9pm...ok maybe 10pm if we have to stretch it. Back when I was in primary school, our school hosted a yearly fireworks carnival for the community. And each year, without fail, there'd be a fireworks display. Ah man it was awesome! And being super boy crazy at the time (no judgement here;)), I remember wishing to one day have a boyfriend who'd sit and watch fireworks with me. 

Well now guess what, Robdawg aka dear husband just got home and asked me to come hangout:)! So I think I'll make my little wish a reality and go watch the display in the backyard...

And here are some pics from the day 😊
