July 4th

We had a fun 4th of July. Again, it was great to have Aunt Stacey here to celebrate with us. This was her last day with us. We had the house all decorated and tried to eat American-type foods (pizza for lunch and hamburgers for supper). We made some fun crafts that morning while trying to explain why we celebrate this holiday (which the boys weren't all that interested in hearing about). The boys made Statue of Liberty crowns and torches as well as American flags. After we took pictures (see below) we had a parade up and down the hall with our flags and torches while Aunt Stacey, Daddy, and I sang the national anthem. We were all totally into it until the flags started tearing and the crowns started flying off. But we tried to keep the boys going until the end of the song. Good times!
