July 3rd
Woke up that morning, let the kids play outside. Its ended up being a nice and sunny day, yet was suppose to have 70% chance of rain. Jeffery ended up busting the heel and corner of his foot open, catching it on the corner of the front door. Thank gosh it wasn't bad enough for stitches. Spent the afternoon doctoring and babying our son. We didn't get to Jeff's grandparents till around 730pm and left like 10pm. Actually I think it went OK only cause all the stupid people weren't around. So in all the afternoon out there was't too bad.
July 4th
We woke up and started the bbq'ing. We even cooked outside on the coleman gas stove cause it was 114 heat index and didn't want to make the inside of the house hot and the a/c busting its butt trying to keep cool. It was actually cool sitting in the shade. After the food was done we came inside and mixed up the potato salad, had bbq beef ribs and smoothered green beans with bacon. It was yummy. We had enough left over for supper, so it was nice to fix plates at 6pm and only have to wash dishes and clean up. We did fireworks with the kids about 930pm, came inside bathed the kids and got them to sleep. Jeff and I played monopoly till around 2am, he ended up winning. It was a fun game.
July 5th
Kids woke up around 8am. I got up fed them breakfast. After breakfast we spent 2 hours aggravating the heck out of Jeff, he was being lazy not wanting to get up. Anyways finally got him up. By 1130 we ate lunch, relaxed a little. Went into town...ugh attempted to refund my parts on the car (didnt need the $133 special order part I got before he got home), we have to go back tomorrow when the parts manager is there (which is who sold it to me and told me I could bring it back if didn't need it...he understood I was trying to have everything there for when Jeff came in) because it says in small print on the bottom of the reciept no refunds on special ordered parts. Attempted going by the cable company, cause the cable box I just got for the bedroom, won't give audio output on digital channels, hbo(s), cinemax(s) (to simplify it anything over the extended basic, lol) they were closed today in observance to 4th of July. We continued on our journey of things we said we would get done. Went out the the grave yard and put new flowers and nicnacs on Ethan's grave. Cleaned the headstones (Ethan's, my grandparents, great grandparents and uncle) and picked up the broken nicnac that was on Ethan's grave. Went to WalMart, ran into a friend of ours...said we would go to their house but it came a storm and them with a little 1 bedroom house we decided to come on home and I would just call them and tell them we weren't going to make it out. We got the few groceries needed and came home. It took an hour to drive about 20 miles cause it was storming that bad, couldn't hardly see the front of my car. Now the kids are playing and coloring and Jeff is playing a playstation game, so I am bored out of my mind.
Whelp thats our 4th activities.
