Happy 4th!

Today was cool and rainy. Loved it!

The girls worked on making flag pins today.



Beverly and Walter came up for a little while today and that was fun. We've seen them three times lately and how cool is that? It's very nice! Plus, they took Jordan's bird back with them so they can take care of it while we're in Texas. Our friend, R., is taking care of the dog and we have a friend that is possibly going to take care of the turtle and then we're all good to go!



Then this afternoon we cooked and had people over. I love having the entire family in the kitchen cooking. Jamie made fried chicken, I made jalapeno potato salad, Claudia made buttermilk dressing, Sammy made cupcakes for the traditional red/white/blue cupcakes and Jordan made a poundcake for the traditional flag cake. The girls are really doing well with the cooking. I can now give them a recipe and just be close for questions and they can do it themselves. We do very little non-scratch cooking so this is very good indeed!




Tonight we went to the Noblesville fireworks display which is possibly the lamest fireworks display on the planet.
