Fireworks

Good Morning everyone. Going to try to type this blog entry with the little sleep that I got. The first week of July was a busy one. Wednesday, Mia and I made a short road trip to visit my little brother and his kiddos for the morning. We picked up the Mia's Sweets & Treats sign he made for her stand, and hung out with them for the rest of the morning. She had fun despite complain about the "noisy little boys". 4th of July weekend, we had Jill's BFF Leanne come in from out of town. Mia was so excited that she was coming to visit, I swear every 5 minutes she asked me "When is Leanne getting here???" Mia went to this New Berlin community flashlight candy hunt Friday night with the ladies. They turned off all the lights and let the kids loose on to the baseball fields with just a flashlight in search of candy. From what I was told, she had a lot of fun. Saturday morning, The ladies went to Madison while Mia and I went to the 4th of July parade. Last year, I worked the 4th (like I have been for years) and I didn't see the parade. Mia and I parked ourselves right in front of Cherry Berry at the very beginning of the parade. It was a warm, but fun time. The different marching bands brought back some memories for me lugging around the drums to every parade. They had lots of little bands on trucks and trailers, the Milwaukee Admirals mascot Roscoe and of course, people tossing out candy. We left closer to the end of the parade before the local Shriners club was driving around in their little cars.

Later, they came back from Madison and we hung out, I cut the grass, ate and watched the fireworks. I can't remember the last time we watched them together (Jill and I) but it wasn't exactly a fun time :( Mia was super tired, crabby and wasn't enjoying the evening fireworks by any means so it wasn't the best way to end the night. Sunday, we went to a very crowded zoo. It was a pretty nice day overall, before eating at this tasty grilled cheese place not far from our house. The owners of the place were on Shark Tank and struck a deal with one of the sharks. The food was pretty good and I'd eat there again. Malthouse Bistro still is my fav gourmet grilled cheese place.

This week, we've got my brother Bryan coming to town, Mia has a playdate today with one of her best friends and we're opening her Mia's Sweets & Treats stand for the weekend sale. I have to paint lemons on it and we've got cookies to make. Last night, the ladies were making dog treats to sell. I also need to start working on the Milwaukee Torrent's goalkeeper kit. Should be fun. That's all for now. Thanks for reading!!
