I'm not even sure how I failed so much. I planned a simple menu, I intended on getting sparklers for Beatrice, I meant to make the day feel extra special. But JD golfed in the morning, the girls napped until late afternoon and before I knew it, I hadn't cooked anything, I never bought the sparklers, and the day felt like every other day. Oops.
Thankfully, our neighborhood had a big 4th of July celebration with food, festivities, and fun. We walked over and met our friends for hot dogs, pink lemonade, and watermelon. It felt like a holiday, no thanks to me.
It ended up being a fun evening with friends. We let Beatrice stay up late to watch fireworks. She loved it.
Even though the day turned out to be special, I feel really terrible about not doing more for my family. I'm the mom, it's sort of my job. Right? I guess there's always Labor Day. Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th! Girl, I totally get you! Most days I feel like a total failure and wonder how my list got longer instead of shorter. My Mama says it's because I'm busy raising a baby or something silly like that :) That can get in your way and you not even realize it. You have TWO! Give yourself a break. You all look like you had a wonderful time that night anyhow. Oh, and I would about give my left arm to be out there with you and that wonderful weather! I need to stop complaining...but it's HOT here!!!! Anyway, your a great Mama and you need to know you do a wonderful job! And your girls are absolutely adorable!!!!!!!
