Independence Day!

Tuesday, July 04, 2006

Hope you are all enjoying the holiday! We spent the morning trying vainly to hang the American flag my brother flew across Iraq in his F-16. Should anyone else attempt such a feat, let me warn you there is no good way to screw a flag holder into a metal column or a vinyl-clad front porch! Next we dressed to please my husband, who suggested matching patriotic clothes. I don't mind the kids coordinating, but we attracted a little too much attention in Sam's Club. Especially when my red print skirt ripped down the side seam as I bent to tie a shoe! Then we went to the pool and cooled off before a traditional picnic of hot dogs, corn on the cob, and watermelon.

You know you're a mother when you eat corn on the cob one-handed while bouncing a baby on your lap.

Meredith-
Happy Fourth of July to you and yours, too! We went to a wonderful fireworks display tonight, and the weather was just gorgeous! Your two children are just beautiful too, and I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday!
