We have had so much fun that, apparently, we have broken our children in some way. It is 7 pm and they have both been asleep for at least an hour and a half now! Liam fell asleep in the hallway even! The fact that Ev is asleep at all is astounding- a revelation- that girl hasn't willingly slept while it was light outside since she was 19 months old. Part of the issue is that her birthday celebrations kept us quite busy for awhile and then before we could recover, it was time to celebrate The Fourth.
One of the perks we have as a Coast Guard family is getting to watch fireworks from the beach. If you haven't ever gotten to do this, I highly recommend it!We try to get there with enough time for the kids to play and have a shore side picnic. I bring glow sticks and then we settle in for the show. We were on the beach late into the night, we only came home when the three year old looked at us and made the sign for bed and asked to go home....
Today we stayed at home lounging about, cooking out and reading Harry Potter #3. We had those impromptu naps, some good food and some much needed relaxation.
Les and I also had a few moments of complete geeked out joy when we were reading up on the recent news in Science. It seems that hard working, steely eyed scientists have come across the Higgs boson particle!!! This is amazing news and I knew they would do it, I just thought it would take many more years. This is what you may have been hearing called the "God Particle". I can not stress what big news this is the in world of Science. Good on you CERN!!!!!!!
