Raymond says good morning!
Well, much to our disappointment, our plans to go to Blanding for the 4th were waylaid by an unexpected car kerfuffle. So Friday brought no school, no work, and no car trip. We decided to begin the celebrations of the weekend by busting out the grill we had been given as a wedding present and never opened. Jeremy took the lead and put together some fabulous kabobs to go on that little grill...
Raymond and I waited patiently for them to grill (ps: is it just Cedar, or does every married couple in America have one of these little grills sitting outside their front door? We have finally joined the ranks).
The aftermath... My, it was tasty.
We are still not quite sure what we'll do to celebrate today (although we are all already dressed in red, white, or blue... or all three!). I want pancakes for breakfast (what is the 4th without a good pancake breakfast??). Jeremy and Raymond want to sleep the day away...
I feel some sort of picnic is in order. Perhaps we'll make it Cedar's firework show tonight (if we can find out where and when it is... and if the wee one is up for it). If nothing else, I might make my little men sing some patriotic songs or something. If you are looking for fun 4th crafting to do with your kiddos... check out The Crafty Crow. She has scores of ideas for sweets, treats, and games galore. Happy 4th of July!
