Fourth Fun

Ahhh...nothing like some Fourth of July Fun and a three day weekend! Action packed fun, really!

Where to begin? We had a church breakfast celebration in the morning--complete with a kazoo parade for the kids.

Um...thank you...I THINK...for the now well used kazoos! :)

Then we hit a good old fashioned small town parade


The boys scored a ton of candy! And some pretty necklaces. Nice. :)

Then we hit a community center celebration, complete with food and fire trucks and such:




Went to a very fun pool party

Stayed at said pool party way too late. Stayed up even later when we got home and set off a few of our own fireworks in front of our house.

Regretted staying up so late the next day during morning church. :) Remembered how one and four year olds should not be up until 11:00pm. Recommitted during morning church to never staying out so late again. At least on Saturday nights. This month at least. :)

Went to a very very very yummy barbecue at some awesome friends' house. Then missed meeting up with some other good friends for some fireworks. But still saw the fireworks. A bit disappointed they were so short...but the boys didn't care. In fact...they loved them. I have just been personally spoiled by Cincinnati fireworks.

Of course we had to do some 4th of July crafts and make some yummy treats


(boys putting festive sprinkles on cupcakes)

And of course we had to have matching patriotic (and dirty) t-shirts.




My favorite part was just being with my three boys. My boys' favorite part I'm pretty sure was the poppers.
