Independence Day

I love Independence day. Mostly because it is the only holiday I justify having specific clothes for. I love dressing the kids in red, white, and blue. This year I wanted to do as much fun things with these colors as possible. I had a lot more planned, but the girls did not get their chores done, so our festivities got cut short. Here is what we did do though. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We started our morning with layered drinks with colored ice. It was a big hit.

We also had pancakes with blueberries and strawberries inside.

Our red, white and blue sensory bin made from shredded paper and things we had lying around.

We did a quick photo shoot. Great shot huh?!

Most of the others looked like this

Painted our nails.

The boy has begun climbing the ladder all the way to the girls' top bed. Such a dare devil!
