4th of July weekend

We had a nice and busy weekend! Thursday we took Mia for her 15 month doctor’s appointment and she wasn’t very happy when we walked in the office. She kept pointing a the front door like "ok we can leave now", but the crying didn’t start until we got called to one of the patient rooms for the check up. As soon as the doctor’s assistant walked in with the thermometer she started crying, but it got even worse when the Doctor walked in the room. Unfortunately for Mia, she got a vaccine shot. Mia is doing great, she is in the 43 percentile in height and 15 percentile in weight. As the doctor said she is going to be taller than mommy and skinnier than daddy.
Friday we had the day off, so it was cleaning day!!! (don’t you love to clean on your days off) actually we didn’t start to clean until Mia’s afternoon nap around 12:30. It took us about 4 hours to clean all 3 floors (basement, 1st and 2nd floor) after cleaning we took Mia outside on our patio for a water day, we got her a water sprinkler at target. I really wanted to get her a toy looking one, but we couldn’t find one, so we got her this regular $2.00 one. Who said that toddlers need expensive toys? This $2.00 sprinklers was a hit. Mia had so much fun with it, and she didn’t want to go back in the house. We took the chance to try her new water shoes, they worked perfectly, they held her feet and were not slippery.
On Saturday, 4th of July we went out in the morning to do some errands so went to FT. Meade in the afternoon. At this point Mia was not feeling well because she is teething, her fifth tooth is cutting and she had a really bad running nose. So we didn’t go to Ft. Meade until after 4:30 pm. When we got there she got so exited, she had a great time, and she ran on the grass through the people, we chased her around, she danced to the band that was playing, we got in the choo-choo train (she wasn’t to thrilled about that one, she didn’t cry, but she wasn’t to happy). Around 7:40 we headed home and Shaun lit some sparklers, Mia liked them, then we decide to go out to the parking lot to light the others fireworks, there were small but really nice, I don’t think Mia would agree with me, she didn’t like them and kept saying no to daddy.
Sunday we stayed home all day, except for Shaun, since our grill died, he went to Lowe’s to get a new one (you can’t end a 4th of July weekend without a BBQ).
I hope you had a great weekend. I’ll post some pictures later.
