Happy 4th of July

So a good time was had by all at the 4th of July festivities. We enjoyed a nice Sunday by going to the Waukegan 4th of July Parade. The girls brought home tons of candy and other free things. We didn't know if it was Halloween or the 4th of July. On the 4th we had a cookout with family. Again, the girls had a blast and Pino ran them through the sprinkler too! But no holiday is exempt from injury. Bella got a huge splinter on the bottom of her foot that needed to be removed. Because she had been in the sprinkler, the bottom of her foot was nice and soft and the splinter embedded itself really well. This coupled with the fact that she had not napped made for a very teary removal process. Having removed the majority of the splinter, I conceded that my daughter had suffered enough and let it be. This morning I find out that there still may be a small piece in there as there was a nice pink tender spot. So, back to removal we go. She will be thrilled. Stay tuned to find out what happens next!
