4th of July: The Fun Parts

So, remember yesterday, when I mentioned the no-candy-at-the-4th-of-July-parade thing? Well, I'm still not over it. But!

There were some fun parts, too. 

Brigid really loved this balloon, until she kept dragging it along the ground, and it popped. Then she got very quiet, and very shy, and told us to stop talking to her. She was either really pissed about the situation, or really embarrassed. It's hard to tell with her, really...


This might have been taken after we bribed her with the Smarties we 'found' on the ground. I'm not sure she was super smiley before that moment. What can I say? She inherited her mother's sweet tooth.





There was no candy, but there were flags. Lots and lots and lots of flags. We're set on lawn decorations for the next five years worth of patriotic holidays, I think.

So, we've got that going for us, which is nice...

  1. Elizabeth does the same "don't talk to me" thing in similar situations. I kind of love it because it is so hilarious.

    This is priceless. It's so entertaining and awesome to watch our kiddos express emotion, isn't it? Ry grunted at someone at church yesterday because she got embarrassed that they were laughing at something funny she did. They just laughed harder, of course.

    Happy Monday!
