4th of July Happenings:

Nothing too exciting happened in the Mickelson family yesterday.

We didn't do fireworks.

We didn't go to any parties or host any parties.

We didn't have fancy red/white/and blue desserts.

Ect.

But we did spend the day together quietly relaxing. (Sort of!)

And that to me is the best way to spend any day.

Here are a few pictures that show what we did.

Michael had to work. Sadly. But he was home by around 12:30 pm, so that was nice. Anyway while he was gone, Olivia and I cleaned the house. We vacuumed, disinfected and wiped everything down, steamed the floors, dusted, and scrubbed the bathroom. It was quite the project. But so nice to smell the nice clean smell of Lysol and a freshly lit sweet pea candle.

We of course did lots and lots of playing and reading.

Did 4 loads of laundry.

Made banana bread.

This little darling did a lot of fussing. I think she might be teething. She honestly did not let me put her down for one second. Fussy babies are just so much fun:)

I decorated my cute little fireplace. I still have a few more ideas, but I am loving it so far!

For dinner I made a rotini salad and attempted to cook steak for the first time. I must of gotten a little carried away with the seasoning because my boy made the nice comment that he thought he was eating a salt lick haha. Apparently, I am going to have to work on the art of seasoning.

After dinner we put this little doll in bed for the night. (She sleeps about 10 hours straight now!) Yay!

And then we went to turn on the Bachelorette and found out that they were playing the same episode as they did last week. So that was a bit disappointing. But it turned out okay because I spent the rest of the night talking and cuddling with my boy. And pretty sure it doesn't get better than that!

We feel so blessed to live in America and enjoy all the freedoms that we do. We are so grateful for all those who have and still do serve our country.
