The Columbus fireworks are on the 3rd every year so Jaime and Lucas and our friend Wanda came over Thursday evening for a cookout. Lucas was helping me with the ground beef to make hamburgers. We were sorting it (to freeze different portions) and everything was going good until he got the great idea to taste some of it. He instantly didn't like it and Jaime washed his mouth out. I thought it was hilarious but Jaime could just envision him getting sick from the raw meat. He was fine, but that ended our cooking fun. What can I say, he's a garbage pail kid. After dinner, we lit some of those black snakes and threw around some of those poppers--I can't think of their name. Then we headed over to the airfield for the musical firework show. I always enjoy fireworks, but I really like the way Columbus does it with the music set to the show. It lasted about 30 minutes, Lucas fell asleep about halfway through, and then we headed back home. We were all pretty exhausted and it wasn't long before we were all fast asleep.
Lucas woke up bright and early (5am) the next morning. While Lucas is a lot to handle and very exhausting, I always enjoy having them up here. I bought him a big bag of balls and we played with those for awhile. I also bought him some crayons, which I learned that you can't turn your back on him for 1 millisecond or the carpet will end up being the canvas for his artwork. Luckily it washed out, for the most part. During Lucas's nap Jaime and I were able to get another page done in her pregnancy scrapbook. We also got one done before bed after Lucas went down. At this rate, we'll be done with it in about 17 years. For dinner we actually planned it out this time, so when we went to Texas Roadhouse we went early and called ahead. We got right in. I think that was the first time on a Friday or Saturday that we showed up and didn't have to hear it was going to be a 90 minute wait.
Saturday, we went to Michael's parents for the rest of the weekend. They got another little chihuahua, only about 8 weeks old. She's about a pound and so fluffy and cute. Sammy seemed to get along with her much better than the other one, which is good, but she still can't play with them. She's just too big and would hurt them even if she didn't mean to. When she's around Zeus she looks so little and then when we take her over to his parents she looks like a giant. But she was very well behaved around the dogs. We watched a couple movies and talked and we showed them pictures of the flood and tornado mess.
And now it's Sunday already. It's been a nice long weekend and it was good to visit with family and friends. I always love the Fourth of July and everything that goes with it. Now it's time to go back to the routine. I have to get some grocery shopping done and get ready for school tomorrow (only 2 more weeks).
