We had a FHE prior to the 4th about our country and the freedoms we enjoy. The girls made flags to hold for the Canonsburg parade. They were really excited for about 10 minutes of the parade. Then the pleas to leave began. "It's too hot!" screamed Kena. "Let's go home!" cried Lils. "Thank goodness, let's go! agreed Daddy.
Later we went to the Shook's for some grub. Erin made the white brownies into a flag.
Lily surprised Erin and I when I got home from work a few weeks back with an Easter egg hunt. We were both allowed to find two eggs each and we sat down at the kitchen table to open them. The first egg I opened had two paper clips in it. The thought "Where's the candy" entered my mind, but I smiled and continued opening up the eggs. Next egg had a dried out wet wipe that was folded, I secretly hoped it wasn't used. Next egg had a dirty rock in it....I started to get with what was going on in front of me, but I kept silent and opened the last egg that was empty. Thinking that Erin put her up to it, I asked Lily what did all this mean. She must have been waiting for that question because she excitedly started to tell the story.
We went with the Cub Scouts to Bro. Lindley's farm to fish. We had families join in to roast some dogs and do some fishing. Our girls loved it and the Bluegill kept biting.
We had a fun time making shirts together today with freezer paper, and acrylic paint and sparkles. It took so long to cut out Lily's picture out that I convinced Kena to use the other negative part of Lily's so I wouldn't have to cut another one out. They love them.
