2011 4th of July Part 2

Welcome back... wait, this is the first time you're reading this post? Go here first, then come back to this post.

Now... welcome back.

So the next day we woke up and Rowan went straight to the Jeep.  I told her she could go grab us some Dunkin Donuts and I'd pay but she never took me up on the offer.  Weird, kids love donuts.

 

Then it was time to re-live Mom's childhood!

Go Peyton Go!

It took about a half a day but they finally got it!

Then, to everyone's surprise, Martha Stewart dropped off a 4th of July fruit pizza for us to enjoy!

Thanks Martha! (I'd say it turned out AWESOME if you ask me!)

It was so hot that afternoon we stayed inside and played.  The girls wanted to go out for a bit so we ventured out when it was cloudy.  "Rowan's pool" was still out and based on the limited amount of time she actually played in it when she had her swimsuit on, I knew it would be okay for her to walked around in it with her special 4th of July outfit on - she wasn't going to sit down in it after all.

You'd think after 4.5 years and 3 kids I would know better.

Luckily, the big girls were content with just being sweet that afternoon!

Then I made them jump in the air with their cute little dresses on.  I'm not sure why, other than I'm the mom and I said so.

Peyton reaching for the stars!

Grace punching the stars?

That night we headed to the Germantown fireworks.  I know Rowan would have loved to see them but the 9:10 start time and having to corral her for a good hour in the mosquito infested parking lot weren't worth the struggle for us or her.  She needed her beauty sleep and next year she'll be a great age to go!

Terrible pictures but you get the idea.  Even blurry, they are still cute!

Hope everyone had a good 4th of July!
