Room Fix

"I don't like my room, Mommy"

is how it began. 

The three year old suddenly realized

that her room wasn't pink,

so she doesn't like it.

At all.

She crawls in our bed at night,

because her room isn't pink.

I didn't feel like painting,

so we made a new bunting together instead:

I let her pick out her own fabrics...

I think she did a really great job!

...and now she stays in her own room to sleep.

Usually.

4th of July

We went to a parade,

it was really hot. 

And then we went to a BBQ

and there were stuffed jalepenos

that weren't spicey

(because I'm a baby). 

I helped a friend make a really cute bunting

for her awesome July 4th party,

She inspired me.

 I decided our own BBQ that evening

needed one too.

Made out of construction paper, of course.

The 4th of July is like Christmas for me. 

I love it. 

I get so excited to just play all day long

with my family and friends.

I spent an hour filling up water balloons before the party,

for some light after dinner entertainment.

And we finished off the night with a nice round of

Vanilla ice cream 

covered in fresh Peaches and Blueberries.

And sparklers. 

Those are my favorite.
