Indepenence Day

Well this day has been insanely busy, no doubt my body will claim back the expenditure with interest, *sigh* oh well c'est la vie.
First up I was woken up by my darling husband, talking on the phone (really loudly) with his brother. They decided that they were going to meet up today and have a bit of a catch up. This involved us driving all the way to Penzance (yes Bennet, where the pirates come from :P) picking him up and driving all the way back to Redruth. When we got back, after doing battle with insane traffic, we went to have lunch with my Dad and Lil Sis in a nice little cafe we know.
After this we went off to Pool to see Nathan's Mum, his brother doesn't get to see her much because of living so far away. To our pleasant surprise, their Auntie was also there with her 2 daughters (5 and 2 and soo cute!) so my Brother-in-law was able to see them too which was really fortunate as he gets to see them even less than he sees his mum.
After we left there we went to a 4th of July party hosted by an American friend of mine. I found it really amusing how much Nathan and his brother were enjoying winning a game of badminton against a couple of girls almost half their age! Sometimes I really wonder at the competitiveness of boys! LOL. My friend is an awesome cook, she made some lovely fajitas which everyone enjoyed, even my traditional "English food" stickler Father :)
At 7 I had to leave to take my Brother-in-law back to Penzance, which took 2 hours because he left his bag in my car so I had to drive back, I hadn't gone too far thankfully so it wasn't too big a deal. However, this meant that I had to put fuel in the car which cost me more time. When I got back I found out that people were getting a bit concerned at how long I was taking, Nathan in particular. Oops sorry Nath!
Then I went to my friends local pub with her and my Sister which happened to have a Karaoke night, I ended up singing You Gotta Be by Des'ree with the others, Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers by myself and finished by Dueting with my Sister to Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle. Everyone clapped but this could have been out of sympathy ;)
It was about 1:10 am by the time I dropped my Sister home (sorry Dad!) and I didn't get in til half 1.
So all in all a busy day I reckon...

HAPPY 4TH JULY!
