Another Year Down

Yesterday (the fourth) was our 14th wedding anniversary. It was a nice uneventful day. Went to the parade in the morning, then it rained so we came home and did laundry, etc. then we decided to go to the movie, and then we caught the Round Lake fireworks afterwards. Didn't get home until almost 11pm though. The traffic control really stunk.

Other weekend activities included taking a load of stuff to the Salvation Army (now we only have about 8 more car loads, lol), going to the Grayslake Family Festival and seeing their fireworks (they were ok), lounging around, playing some baseball with the kids (I even hit the ball), and hanging out with the neighbors around their fire pit while the kids played football.


This pic is one of the fireworks from Grayslake. Don't know how it turned out looking like this, but we thought it was too cool. The boy thinks it looks like birds.

Oh, I have my new job orientation this Thursday.
