Dot Moms and the 4th of July

Today’s post is over at Dot Moms. I am whipped. We took five children and four adults to the Virginia Aquarium today. Lots of fun, and we had a picnic at the park afterwards. The children, of course, did not nap. Why would they? Too much to see and do.

My son loved the sharks, but one of my favorites is the fish tanks. I love to just sit and watch the fish. It’s very relaxing.

Tonight’s menu: grilled ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, and peach pie for dessert. Anyone want to come for dinner?

No real writing was done the past two days, due to family obligations. And if any editors or agents are reading this, of course I’m going to get my book done next month. Ahem.

We will not be watching fireworks AGAIN this year. Sigh. Something about keeping toddlers up past ten o’clock, you know. Very sad. I miss those days. But we would have screaming demons on our hands, so hubby and I will just stand out on the back deck and hope for the best. Yes, I know we are SO pitiful.

What about you? Any plans for the 4th of July?
