DH has the day off and what are we doing with it...nothing. I get frustrated with DH on days like this bc I feel like we are wasting an opportunity to go do something as a family. But I can understand DH wanting to just relax too. It's super hot and muggy today anyway I guess.
Last night went pretty well, considering that the fireworks started over two hours after V's bedtime. He was enthralled for the first half, but then he wanted to get up and run around again. He actually went and sat down on some little girl's lap before I could get to him. Luckily she didn't freak out and the mom was all oh how sweet.

lilyelayne last week DH made a fort for DD with a blanket and the chairs in our living room - last night DD climbed on the couch to get the blanket and give it to DH so he could put the fort back up! She loves hanging out in there. Maybe we should get a tent so my living room furniture doesn't have to be rearranged for fort building everyday.
DD was great on the flight home yesterday, it really didn't feel like 4th of July - travelling, going to the grocery store, cleaning and getting ready for the week. Our fireworks were postponed to tonight due to rain but they start late so we aren't planning to go. E met her 2 month old cousin, and had no interest in her at all - though she would show us where the baby's feet were if we asked her to and she felt like it.
dreemkin I understand both your & your H's point of view on days off. Sometimes it's hard to choose. Do y'all have more opportunities for family days now that you SAH full time? or are full days off really rare for your H?

DH and I had that same disagreement about how to use our time together on our night out sans DD last Friday. It felt like DH had scheduled every minute of it and while it was fun I think it would have been nice for it to be a little more relaxing. I think you just need a balance.
dmorgendorffer and lilyelayne Yeah it's hard sometimes but I guess it's nice to just relax and have a quiet day too. And lilyelayne we have most weekends to spend together now (although I feel like DH always has something work related going on in the background). He never has week days off. I feel like I do all the "fun" things on the week days w/o him and this would have been a good chance to do some of those things with him.

We have this struggle all the time. We have to do things on the weekend to keep the girls busy and entertained so there is never just relaxing time for us. We have to take a day off work if we want that lol
