Our Fourth of July recap

My best shot of the fireworks! ;)

I hope all my readers here in the United States 
had a wonderful Fourth of July Holiday


I thought I'd share a short little recap of our day together.  We didn't do anything fancy ~  no big barbeques or parties ~ but the kids enjoyed the few, simple little things we did as a family to celebrate.


To start our day, I made some Patriotic Pancakes 
(similar to our Birthday and Valentine's Day pancakes).  
No culinary awards being given for this breakfast ~ they're not really flags, in fact, they're not really much of anything design-wise, just three stripes of batter colored red, white and blue ~ but the kids loved them regardless and it was a fun way to start our day!



Next, I made up some little 
red, white and blue trifle push pops 
to take with us for our fireworks picnic.  
I simply layered raspberries, pieces of white cake,  blueberries and whipped cream in some handy little plastic push pop containers.   
They were a yummy and fun way to make a trifle portable  
(although next time I'll use pudding instead of whipped cream since the cream just melted into the cake and fruit ~ still tasty, just not as pretty when we went to eat it)

I made my girls some cute little  
red, white and blue tops 
using bandanas I found in the Dollar Spot at Target.  (tutorial to come)

Aren't they cute? (both the girls AND their tops!)

The kids had fun playing cards and hanging out 
while we snacked and waited for nightfall.

"Go fish!"

Smiles and hugs!

Finally it got dark enough for 



This pic reminds me of that movie, The Blair Witch Project! ;)


And then the best part of the Fourth of July... 
FIREWORKS!!
I love this shot of my son watching the show.
Of course, I'm not going to share the little meltdowns and sibling fights that were also a part of our holiday (and every day!), but overall, it was a nice day that we enjoyed as a family.

  8. When you want to carry out effective cleaning for your home you should think first and determine the starting and ending point in cleaning the house so as not to re-clean what you clean it so many times as a result you do not specify a starting point.
    Bishop never cleaned even remove dust commentator antiques and walls borrowed it and then clean the walls of the wall after the other, and then the process is never cleaned and polished furniture polishing wooden doors and then washing the mattresses of rugs and carpets, and then the process of washing floors and stairs.

  13. In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have successed lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is --I will form good habits and become their slave.

  17. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
