A day filled with a flurry of activity getting ready for daddy’s birthday. Dishes washed, a cake baked, a card made, presents wrapped and colored and decorations hung. A wonderful day spent with my little ones to show daddy how much he means to all of us. Happy birthday love.

Today we are loading up the car and hitting the road for a little road-trip. Have a wonderful weekend friends.

There is something about the Fourth of July that melts my heart.

Maybe it’s the overindulgence of candy at the small town parade.

Or the kids waiting with anticipation for the next float to arrive.

Or the excuse to make a new dress for my little firecracker.

It’s about family and friends coming together for a barbeque picnic under the old oak tree.

Baby feet on the table.

And ending with little ones passing out, in a homemade ice cream stupor, before the firework extravaganza in the back yard.
