A Peaceful Fourth

Happy Independence Day readers!

We didn't celebrate Independence Eve, but we did drop by Nana and Pop's for a fairly simple Fourth.

Shane and I wore our kilts for Nana. Don't let her tell you otherwise; She loves them.


Plus, it's been fairly hot. 

Shane must have felt the advantage, because he didn't rip his kilt off like the first time we put it on. He could use some modesty training.

"Do you want the boy to be weird?!" Nana asked. 

We had plenty of snappy come-backs. The banter is all in good fun. Just like Carrie stealing Shane's wheels.


Shane loves to be outside. He started the morning playing with moon sand with Pop. During lunch, Shane bonded with the salad tongs. He wouldn't put them down.

We ended up using them to dig up rocks.


Shane pretended he was a crane.

We took the kilt off before nap to prevent wrinkling the ruffles ("They're pleats!" -Carrie). Shane wasn't out of energy, though. He loves roughhousing around.


During nap time, John came over to play some xwing and then Kim and Ryan came by to hang out, too. None of my siblings were around, but we had a small party anyway!

It did not last long. Everyone had places to go for the evening. Ryan and Kim went to his parents. Nana and Pop went out to feed the homeless. John headed over to meet with our other friends, and then Carrie and I took Shane home to check on the kitten after a day away.

Nothing crazy. Just a nice day off.
