Fireworks

I hope everyone's 4th of July was fun and that y'all got to see some spectacular fireworks! We had bought some for tonight, but it turns out they weren't all that great. Luckily, though, with little kids, you don't really need anything magnificent to make them happy. Becca (the mom aka Big Becca) and I sat on chairs on the sidewalk and kinda watched our fireworks, but really for the most part we were looking farther out cuz there were some amazing fireworks being shot off over there. We both agreed that those were way better than ours hahaha. But it was still fun. Matt thought he'd be funny and he said he had a surprise for me, and when I stuck my hand out he gave me a toad. It was a little one. I thought it was kinda cute, but all the kids and Becca and the neighbors were freaking out. Logan told me I was gonna get warts and I asked her if she'd still love me and she thought that was hilarious. Needless to say, I doubt I'll be getting any warts anytime soon :)

I experienced another gross, yellowish, creamy, messy poopy diaper again today haha. It wasn't nearly as bad as yesterday's, and I knew that I'd have no problem cleaning it up, but it was kinda funny. Little Becca was getting into a snatch-grabby mood and was just grabbing everything and making us all frustrated (btw, Matt was at a cafe doing homework and Big Becca was working) so I was gonna take her up to her room to take a nap when Logan noticed some orange-ish stuff on the back of Becca's shorts. So I looked at Becca's booty and lo and behold there was poop that had leaked through!! The kids were so disgusted haha, I couldn't help but laugh and threaten them with it, especially since they were all about to eat lunch which consisted of sandwiches and Mac-n-Cheese. It would've blended in quite nicely ;) And I've come to the conclusion that these 2 weeks really aren't gonna be all that bad. When she's in a snatchy mood it's either a dirty diaper or cuz she's tired or she's hungry. So that's easy to figure out. She entertains herself, she cooperates when she's being changed and bathed, and she doesn't know how to get out of her room so I can get her when I'm ready in the morning and don't have to worry about her wandering about aimlessly and causing trouble. It'll be tiring, don't get me wrong, but it'll be just fine.

I've decided that fireworks make me miss my family and close friends. For some reason, it just seems like those are times that should be spent with those who are closest to you and who matter a lot to you in life. So I was a little bummed tonight, and Sarah could tell and I was actually kinda glad that she did, but I know that next year will be different :) Lord willing!!

And that's life through the eyes of a banana munchkin.
