Fourth of July Weekend

It's felt like an extra long 3 day weekend. We needed it. Not only to get more things accomplished but to also rest up. I think we've done a little of both. 

Little brother's room is almost finished. The last step has been getting Drew's clothes out of the closet in that room. We bought another dresser to cram in our bedroom, so between it and an additional rod our buddy Eric installed in our little closet....hopefully, we'll be able to manage. 

Friday night we went to Drew's parents' house as usual for BBQ, swimming, and a fireworks show. Griffin thought the fireworks were too loud and only semi paid attention to them. With so many other kids around, he stays pretty busy trying to keep up.

partial crowd shot

and we had to do a few more before we left

We also got a little sun this weekend by hitting the pool with Tammy and Griffin's crush, Bristol. 

Today, I bought a small pool for our house. It's bigger than the $10 plastic pool option, but small enough for Griffin to stand up in. We'll see how long it takes to get it put up, but I'm hoping we can use it to teach Griffin to swim.
