Happy 4th

I'd like to say we're doing a lot of this over the weekend, but the sun is hot and the clouds are...absent, and of course it's Chris' weekend to work.  And for the record, the Belles were there with us.  In fact, this is a Belle picture.

We're here holding down the fort, splashing in the backyard splash pool--with clothes on, sometimes that's the fun in it all.  Except Big Belle just mentioned "Wouldn't it be lovely if there was just one of us?"  I'm assuming she means just one child.  I asked her in return, "How do you know you would be that one...."  She pondered.  And then chuckled.

In the meantime, we've enjoyed a little down time, and are going to head out right now to visit the local DQ.  And hopefully, bedtime is not too far around the corner.
