The Third of July!??

The days since Florida have been really busy! Monday we were really busy recouperating! Ha! We slept, took naps, unpacked (a bit), did laundry (a bit), and mostly just enjoyed being home. The kids played in their rooms almost all day - they missed their toys.

Yesterday, Richard and I cleaned out our closet. We have four big trash bags full of clothes to donate to the county charity. And now my closet is the most beautiful thing in the house! And, I cleaned out under the bathroom sink and organized all my lotions and potions. So, I now know all that I have. I used them this morning, and it was so nice to have it all organized and handy.

Today, we got up, worked out, and went shopping. We are making barbecue, homemade ice cream, and homemade butter (just for fun). We also got a mini pool for the kiddos, and they are waiting for the water to warm. I am going to cut a bunch of my basil later (I have two huge bushes of basil that are taking over the garden!) and make pesto for our picnic dinner tomorrow night - we're going to the harbor to watch the fireworks. It is so nice to have almost another month off with Richard - it has been a long time since we've both had this much time off!

We got Richard his anniversary present today - a bit early, but he wants to use it when we go camping later this month. It is a camping table/kitchen set. He's really excited. Have a great FOURTH!
