4th of July

We had a good 4th of July. We were invited to our friend Leo's party; it was great. We had hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. Ashleigh enjoyed spending time with Hannah and Abby. After the party Hannah and Abby came to our house to stay the night. It rained, so we post-poned the firework show that Leo had planned; however, after the rain had stopped the girls did sparklers in our backyard. then they proceeded inside for a crazy fun night. They had a sleep out in the living room, after insisting on wearing their Daddy's t-shirts to bed. 

They woke up the next morning, bright-eyed and busy tailed, ready to start the day at 8:30 am {this is early in the Hick's household}. 

Update on Brian's grill: 
They installed the wrong granite, so the process is going to be slightly delayed. They have, however, completed the electrical portion. It is coming right along. Posted are some pictures of the process, so far. 

Oh, I forgot to mention I have started a "Chore" chart for Ashleigh as an incentive to have her keep her room cleaned; hopefully, this will work. Wish me luck!
