Celebrate

Zane said, while waving his flag, "Happy Birthday, Merica!"

"If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what a life that would be. Standing outside with my mouth open wide -- Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah . . . "

Appropriate lyrics for a parade with showers of rain and candy.

Way to swing on the rope, Zane!

You bet we celebrated Aunt Sally's b-day! I overheard the kids practicing first thing this morning, kind of in secret and without prompting. By the end of the day, before showers and a change into jammies, and fireworks, the kids wanted to share what they practiced. I wish we recorded their vibrant practice, but at least Daddy got something! :)

We loaded up, with donuts in hand, and watched the fireworks from a parking lot. We made it home in a couple of minutes of the finale, and the kids went straight to bed -- after a jammed packed day, that was so nice . . .
