Better Late Than Never: 4th of July

I wanted to post some 4th of July pictures before July was over so of course I am now getting to it on July 31st at 10:20 pm. We had a nice little BBQ get-together with the Sabin's and their family. We went to an elementary school yard to see the fireworks for free. It was a great idea until the sprinklers went off.

Here's a pic of three patriotic girls. Why does mine have to look like a cross-eyed psycho?

Cara helped Jane up her patriotism factor by painting her toes. Jane loved it of course and was devastated when she got home and told me, "I see white! Fix it!" (meaning she had seen that her polish was chipping off). So the next time she saw Cara she asked her to fix it. But obviously she gave up on having perfectly manicured nails.


Here are some pics we took while waiting for the fireworks (and sprinklers) to start.




And as an afterthought at the end of the day I realized we had not taken any pictures of our dear son on his first holiday. Hmmm....first and second children are definitely treated differently! But this does capture what Jack spent the day doing.

Thank you for making me feel like less of a horrible neglectful mother. I've gotten a few comments about my uneven representation of the boys on Pioneer day (and in general). because let's be honest, why do you need 300 pictures of a sleeping baby? But yes, they are adorable.
