Working Weekend

For the Holiday weekend we spent it working on landscaping. It is very difficult to accomplish much with the children. They usually get 100% of our attention and when we decide to do something that requires us to derail our attention away from them they are not happy and it makes things difficult.

We bought some festive flag t-shirts to all wear for Saturday. My plan was to get a family picture, but Violette had a diaper that leaked through and I was only able to get a few pictures.

Taking the children to local fireworks was something we debated but decided not to. We did let Noelle play with some sparklers before bed (in the pictures she has pj's that are obviously small on her, but she insists on keeping them) and she had a blast. From our house we had a great viewing of the firework shows. I ran to wake up Noelle and show her but she would not have it and told me to go away! Maybe next year she will be able to stay up later.

We did find a very rare, very temperamental tree. I have a feeling it will grow leaps and bounds over the next years and gives us mountains of trouble!
