We've got this place near us called "The Deer Park." There's deer everywhere and they just bombarded us and our brown bags (that's where the deer food is kept). You put some food in your hand and they eat right out of it. It's kind of disgusting, really.
I was torn between how pitiful it was and how neat it was.
We also went to a cookout...
Cookouts used to be relaxing but now involve chasing toddlers and kicking balls and rolling in grass. And I love every minute of it.
I made a patriotic fruit pizza which didn't hold a candle (aesthetically) to last year's dessert but was delicious nonetheless.
We also played a lot with this new Fubbles bubble machine - it rocks. For only $12.99 at Target, I was sold. But don't forget your AAA batteries. I had to pull them out of our remote...and put them back in...and pull them back out...
Then we went to the parade!
It was the highlight of our weekend! It's so gratifying seeing underdressed kids in freezing weather and gospel choir members that are walking in the parade and talking on their cell phones at the same time.
No but really, it was great regardless of the unique people we saw. We went with a fellow teacher and her son who's just a few months younger than Patrick. He is so chill. I left there wondering if there was something crazy wrong with Pat's busy GO GO GO NOW attitude. But realized of course there isn't! He's perfect just the nuts-o way he is.
The weekend wouldn't be complete without our prayers Monday night for the soldiers and for all the men and women who have served our country. I freaking love the US of A and know with every cell in my body how blessed we are to raise our family here.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend with your loved ones!
