July 4th came and went with a bang. We spent our Independence Day attempting to make the best of our 4 day weekend with runny noses, constant tears (from one or the other of the 2 boys), fevers that refused to break, and 2 exhausted parents that went sleepless for the weekend. Friday we thought we would lay low, skip the parade, and take the fellas to watch WALL-E at "the BIG movie show." Crew was more than excited when we told him the news...nothing else seemed to matter other than getting to "the BIG movie show" to see WALL-E!!! The movie was a HUGE success....WALL-E is the 1st movie that we, as a family, did not have to leave the theater becasue our little men have too many "ants in their pants" to be able to sit still through an entire movie. Success. We left Pinetop and made our way to St. Johns to spend some time with the Whiting Fam. and watch the fireworks over Lyman Lake. Tea parties with Grandma, playing with cousins, and Big J getting to reminisce through all High School scrapbooks & newspaper clippings of football....then off the the BIG fireworks show!!! 10 min into it and Crew was out for the count. The poor kid just had had enough and was worn out from celebrating the holiday that he didn't quite understand other than it was a "parade & fireworks day."
Saturday was a long day. Sick kids again and Big J gone for the majority of the morning playing in a golf tournament and me left home losing whats left of my mind. Although our day ended well watching Snowflakes 4th of July Firework show with glow sticks and cousins. We survived the "movie show", the fevers, the crying & whining, and survived each other!!! Lets knock on wood, wear some garlic around our necks, throw some salt over our shoulder, that this will be our last summertime sickness blues weekend for 2008.

I have a BIG jar of garlic in the frig if you need it. One sniff and you'll be cured!
Love, Mom
Thanks for the good time watching fireworks with us. The glow sticks were a hit, especially on the way home when our kids were spinning them out of the truck windows as we drove down the highway. I don't know if throwing salt over your shoulder will work, but the smell of a garlic necklace would scare any germ away. Hang in there!
