our weekly blog: Week 27-July 4th to July 10th

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!

I took quite a few pictures of Kairi Sunday morning/afternoon in her strawberry shortcake outfit that used to be her big sister's.

On Sunday, we went to a high school and hung out there from 5:30 pm to 10:20pm. The kids had fun, playing and running around. The older two climbed and slid down the slide, went thru the obstacle course and jumped in a bounce house. They also had their faces painted. Casey got her nails painted. We brought a lot of food to eat and everyone had fun snacking on them--grapes, watermelon, sandwiches, fishies, tortilla chips and dips. So yummy!

One scary moment about 8:45pm. Our precious 3 year old boy kept escaping from us and ran all over near us but he went too far and Gabriel couldn't catch him and lost sight of him. G came back and told me that he coulnd't find the boy. I took Casey and Gabriel took the baby and we went separate ways for 5 minutes to see if we could find him and no results so we turned to the event security. Police was radioed and they got the info on Kaleb and found him within 5 minutes with help from police and event security.

15 minutes after Kaleb being reunited with us, we settled down to watch the firework show. Casey sat in one of the big chairs, Kaleb snuggled up with daddy and I held the baby, sitting in the chair (I can't sit on the ground for very long since my back kills me). Kairi watched the fireworks for a good 5 minutes before turning to me, wanting to nurse and then was out in minutes. I put her in the stroller and covered her up and gave a blanket to each older child. Kaleb was alternating between nodding off and watching the fireworks. Casey enjoyed the show a lot.

The rest of the week was a calm week.. We pretty much hung at home. Wednesday evening, we went to my mom's for dinner and to watch Top Chef since we don't have Bravo channel. Thursday we went to Taco Bell for dinner. We were supposed to go to the beach on Friday but being postponed to Monday.
