Fourth of July

How was your Fourth of July? Do you even remember it at this point so late in the summer? Ours was nice. There was lots of red, white, and blue and picnicking. We usually stick pretty close to our bedtime around here (or things get really ugly) but we let the kids stay up late to enjoy the nighttime festivities. We could see a few fireworks between some trees at our house which was enough for Marcus and Will. My parents came over and brought glow sticks. Apparently they make great chew toys (for kids that don't have teeth).



Marcus and Will did sparklers for the first time too. We got a few in just before the rain started. I suck at being a mom and photographer at the same time and totally missed getting a picture of Will and his sparkler.
