4th of July!

This 4th of July was pretty eventful!


David had to work so it was just me and the kiddos for most of the day. I told Jakers he could have the day off from school, but he still wanted to do a lesson. Go figure.

So we learned about our sense of smell and taste. The boys had a lot of fun!


(Steven was only slightly upset he didn't get to wear the blindfold first)







Then later that afternoon the boys went for a swim in their dino pool!







When daddy came home thats when the REAL FUN started!





Then we grilled some hot dogs.....


And made homemade onion rings (they were SO good!)


Here are my boys! As you can see, Steven was patiently waiting for the prayer so he could dig in!



THEN, while we were eating dinner, little Steven fell off the bench and busted his lip open. (the cut is on the left, the rest of that stuff on his face is ketchup)


We were about to take him to the ER when he started eating the hotdog that he had apparently been holding onto the whole time! Enough said.

He came back around to his happy self after a while.


Since my baby was hurt, I decided to make him a treat. Cupcakes! But not just any cupcakes, 4th of July cupcakes!

Jake LOVED them!


And I think this little guy loved them too.




Yummy!


Then it was time to bust out the sparklers! Jakers had a lot of fun!!



Steven was having fun, until he decided to touch the hot sparkler!! Which resulted in an instant blister on his little sausage finger. Sigh, that child.

Ouch!


Jakers was attempting two sparklers at once, which resulted in him being burned as well.....

Which resulted in the sparklers being thrown in the grass.....


Then, in true pyro spirit, despite being burned both the boys decided to try them again.

All in all it was a fun day. I think even Steven would agree.
