4th of july

Love, love, love 3 day weekends! So nice having John home an extra day and it usually means my parents are in town too! They arrived Sat after nap and the girls took right too them. John and I were instantly chop liver. We had a BBQ at home that night and just played and enjoyed the company. We had told G&PP about all the cute things Camille was saying now but she would not say any of it for them. Seemed a little strange but I blew it off as being tired which made sense since the night before she was up late with the sitter and also woken in the middle of the night to be taken home. By bedtime when I got my first hug since G&PP arrived I noticed she felt hot. Ugh!!! She had a fever. She woke with it on Sunday too. One of my kids is always sick when G&PP come to town. It’s so sad. Anyway with some meds in her she was able to play for a bit that morning. By 11ish my parents decided to take Av to the zoo. It was so hard for them and me to make Camille stay home but it was best for her. I put her to bed early and she slept all afternoon. G&PP and Av had a great time at the zoo, McDonalds and the store. By the time they got home C was fever free and doing well. We decided to have a picnic dinner and try to see the fireworks with friends. After awhile though C was back to not feeling so well so G&PP took her home. They gave her some more meds and ended up having a really nice evening of playing with her. Av stayed with us and our friends to see the fireworks. She wanted to see them so badly. Poor thing tried but just could not stay up long enough for the fireworks. PP came to get her about 9. Broke my heart but I didn’t want her to get sick too so I sent her home. She had ice cream and G&PP all to herself so she didn’t mind much. Monday morning G&PP played with the girls for a long time while John and I cleaned the inside and outside of both cars. They are such a big help when they come. Only good thing about them having to leave is we get our girls attention back!
