Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Allison is officially 3 months now (how time flies, right?) We had a good time at the fireworks yesterday. First, we did some shopping for Adam because he needed new clothes, then we took nap (yep, all of us!) And then we went down to Tempe. We ate at Jen and Bill's, but didn't eat until late, so we were late to the fireworks. We all walked down to the bus stop (no stroller, so that was kinda hard), got on the bus, and rode to Mill Ave. Then we walked even farther to the fireworks. They started going off as we walked down to the lake, and when we finally sat down, we caught the end of the show. The fireworks were pretty good, though, and Odin really enjoyed them. He and his cousins had a fun time together, late at night, running around on the grass as fireworks exploded over their heads. Oh, and glow sticks were also involved. Getting home was interesting though. It was HOT, and I do not exaggerate, so we dragged our sweaty selves back through the streets, which were still quite lively, including a few people talking about Jesus- which is good, and I hope people listened! Anyway, we were back at the bus stop, and decided to take a different bus because the kids were sooo tired (especially Odin, Ally was remarkably alert and quiet). So we took the bus back, walked back to Jen and Bill's, and had some popsicles. Then we went home.

The kids slept in today and we didn't go to church. I asked Odin this morning if he had fun at the fireworks and he said, "Thank you, bus!" Which I took to mean he was thankful for the two bus rides, moreso than the fireworks :) Ally was a CRANKY girl this morning, and has been soundly sleeping for the last 3.5 hours. I should probably wake her up. Oh, and Odin just came up to me with two (wrapped) lifesavers and said, "Wow, candy!" :D Love these kids.
