Weather.com lied to me this week and the 80's and sunny I had hoped for turned into a mere 56 and cloudy. Nonetheless we gathered the troops and headed out for what is bound to become a bad tradition. Kirkland holds a 4th of July parade every year. There are swarms of people clad in red, white and blue out by the lake, plastic duck counting contests (see picture below), crafts, fake tattoos, bad food and a really horrible parade. Well, the truth is we don't actually know what happens for the whole parade because we have left early both times we have attended it. But, we still go. Here are some pictures.
We called it quits and went home for a solid naptime today. Both of you slept for a full 1.5 hours. It was a miracle. Then we went out and raced cars (your new favorite activity). "Faster daddy"... Max, when did you become such a daredevil? You must have been inspired by the trapezists.
Alexander, you were such a dear tonight. You needed a little TLC - I just held you and sang to you and you sat still in my arms. It was wonderful having that time together. We have so little of it. You are understanding more and more everyday. What a sweet little man you are.Kisses to both my boys!
