Fourth of July - Family, Friends, Fireworks, and Fun!

I love the Fourth of July.

Really. It is my favorite holiday. Stress free fun. No gift giving to deal with. Just pure fun and celebration with great friends, family, and yummy food.
What can be better than that???

We started off our holiday on Saturday the 3rd with the parade in Marietta. Angela Schuster and her crew came along and we had a great time! We sat in front of the church I grew up in where we ran into several other people that we know.

We came home and rested a bit and then ventured back out for Mexican (and AWESOME mango margaritas) and fireworks in Kennesaw with the Davis' crew.


















The Actual 4th was spent recovering from the late night of the 3rd. We had Paw Paw and Aunt Wendy over for dinner. Bobby and I made ribs, and I put together some pretty awesome squash casserole, and potato and onion packets from our fresh crop share veggies. It was all yummy. Then we proceeded to push our kids completely past their limit by taking them out for ice cream and more fireworks. They all had complete meltdowns by the time the fireworks (which were totally behind the trees) started, and we left about two minutes after they started. Should have quit while we were ahead, haha!

One of those days...

Currently I sit in the living room while listening to a hysterical six year old crying from upstairs. She has said the word, "Mommy" no less than 18 billionty times in the past 15 minutes. Why is she crying, you ask? Her mean, horrible mother made her turn off the tv and, horror of horrors, PLAY with her sister! Can you imagine?!?! I mean, how dare I! Imagination? Toys? Games?!?! How could I even THINK of inflicting such torture on my children?

Someone should really call child protective services.

If anyone came into my front yard right now they probably would. I'm sure her fit could be heard down the block. It's a good one! I'm pretty sure if it doesn't stop soon that she'll be losing tv for the rest of the day, instead of for an hour or two.

Sigh.

This fun and excitement follows this mornings brownie debacle. Alivia found them on the kitchen counter while I was in the bathroom and they didn't stand a chance!

Poor brownies. Poor floor.



"A messhh, Mommy!"


How can you really get mad at that?

Blog: Take Two!

So.... I started this little blogging endeavor 2 years ago, and then promptly moved on to other distractions! Lately I have been loving following several others, and thought I might have my hand at it again. Goodness knows that EXACTLY what I need is something else in my life to consume my time! I have SOOO much of it to spare! HA! I'm not even sure I have anything worth talking about or hearing, but we are going to find out!
