4th of July

Today was pure bliss. Here's the quick run down:

• Slept in - made nest-eggs for breakfast! (see previous post)
• We started doing things around the house - now it is nice and clean! I haven't been able to clean off my desk for 2+ years, it is such a relief! It's nice to have an area where I feel like I can effectively "manage" our home, rather than the constant worry that I'm missing something in the pile. 
• Went to Mon Ami Gabi for lunch, as they were having a promotion and our meal was basically half of. It. was. delicious  (it's our favorite french restaurant in the area!) Very fun to go out on a date!
• Went to hunt down a petanque court (French boci-ball), and found a gravely patch in a park that will work well. Unfortunately the bugs enjoyed it too, and it quickly got too annoying to play. Got a few quick rounds in though!
• Came home and got busy resting. Watched all the extras on "The King's Speech" and then watched the movie with the commentary. So relaxing and informative at the same time! Can't seem to stop researching it, the royals are very fascinating for some reason. 
• Walked to the nearby park to watch the fire works! It was fun - they put on a decent show here [although I'm not a fan of fireworks in general.]
• Walked home, chilled some more, and now we're feeling rested for the week!

It was blissfully to stay home for a day and just be - especially as Jon took the day off from work. Yay quality time! 

I did however discover that I do not enjoy the plethora of people shooting fireworks off at random on the streets, sidewalks, and parks. They are loud, dangerous, obnoxious, and illegal in other states. So weird. Definitely hearing alot of ambulances...

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! We are so glad you were born today! :o)
