Independence Day

It’s that time again: Sunday Coffee Date time! Grab a cup of coffee and let’s talk as though we were catching up over a cup of your favorite blend 🙂

If we were having coffee right now… I would wish you a Happy Independence Day! Are you doing anything fun to celebrate? We have an outdoor church service this evening followed by a cookout and then fireworks. I’m curious as to what Sadie will think of fireworks. I used to really dislike fireworks as a young child. I can remember plugging my ears and crying during the whole show each 4th of July for a few years 😂

If we were having coffee right now… I would embarrassingly admit that I deep cleaned our bathroom for the first time in way too long. Scrubbing our shower is my least favorite household task. I have no problem changing our sheets out, vacuuming, and (trying to keep up with) cleaning the windows, but the tub? Ugh. What domestic task are you not a fan of?

If we were having coffee right now… I would tell you that Jimmy and I took Sadie to Barnes and Noble on Friday night and randomly left with her first Lego kit! It was actually my first experience with Legos, too, and I had no idea how much fun they are! Jimmy took a picture of us while we were out and it was blurry and perfectly summed up taking a picture with a toddler 😉

If we were having coffee right now… I would tell you that Sadie, Niva, and I went over to Niva’s new friends’ house last night so the dogs could play and run around and I don’t know who had more fun, me talking with other husky owners, Sadie running around with three dogs, or Niva getting her zoomies out! It was a good evening 😊

If we were having coffee right now… I would laugh and tell you how I was in our basement yesterday and Jimmy was upstairs with Sadie. He sent me a video…. of me… in the basement. He must have been bored because he tied a string around his phone and sent it down our laundry chute to video me 😂

If we were having coffee right now… I’d tell you that I can’t stop baking. What’s new, right?!

What would you want to talk about if we were sitting down for a cup of coffee?

Our Independence Day shindig turned out to be quite the fun day! We had my parents, sister’s family and their dog, in-laws and their puppy, my cousin and her daughter, and a friend over for a cookout and it was a lovely day.

Jimmy and I prepped the house in the morning by cleaning, cooking, and getting the yard spruced up. Everyone came over in the afternoon and we grilled, chilled, and enjoyed watching the dogs and babies run around!

Just popping in to share some pictures so I can reflect on the fun, blessed day all over again 🙂
