The 4th of July

Usually we do lots of fun things for the 4th. Due to what was going on with me, we didn't do pretty much any of them. We had Kiki and Dan (Rob's best friend) over for dinner on Wednesday, or rather Rob and the kids had them over for dinner and Kiki made all the sides and I slept and didn't eat as I can only eat things like applesauce and bananas at this point. I did get to spend some time talking with everyone towards the end of the evening, which was a lot of fun.

Jojo brought sloppy joes over for dinner on Wednesday, but since Kiki and Dan came over with the other food, we saved Jojo's food for Thursday. All we did Thursday was heat up the sloppy joes for dinner (thank you Jojo!!!) and let the kids watch fireworks on the tv. We did manage to get our cake baked. Every year we make a cake and decorate it with whipped cream and red and blue fruit. We used to decorate the whole cake, but the kids always have different plans regarding the decorations, so we've started dividing it up and letting each of the decorate their own part.

I decorated Laura's for her :)

Laura had three servings of blueberries and only ate a few bits of cake.

We didn't even do our annual family photos in flag shirts. We'll have to get to those this weekend :)
