Happy 4th of July
I know that unless you are in the mood to run around like a crazy woman, the tips here may not be very helpful. But, at the same time, some of you might like to employ some of the ides here on other holidays. What am I talking about?
The children are excuse they thought that understood our conversation to mean that we were having a party tomorrow. While indeed, we are having a cook-out and since my cousin that lives with my mom has a son with a birthday today, we will be kind of celebrating a birthday too.
My kids have been walking around for 3 days asking when the party starts. I also made the mistake of mentioning that we would put the slip and slide in my mom’s yard for tomorrow and the boys will have something to do. Between that, the bouncy house and other toys that aren’t really toys, they will have a blast.
So, exactly what is it that you might want to try for your holidays. Well, I am going to tell you a few things I consider tradition an a few things I found new all over the web but honestly, I have no clue where I saw them.
First of all, grilling hamburgers and hotdogs, having al the fixings (as we eat hotdogs at home a lot with nothing more than ketchup), having a strawberry shortcake, a watermelon and homemade ice cream. I am not too sure but I maybe getting left out on the homemade ice cream front this year but that’s fine, a new tradition will be born.
The new tradition will include some kabob sticks, with strawberries (the red), miniature marshmallows (the white) and blueberries (the blue) on kabobs. the directions stay to start with the fruit because otherwise the marshmallows stick to the stick.
And, of course, we will be celebrating at my mom’s this year as oppose to my house since the lawn is in better shape…meaning it is shorter than knee-hide to a giraffe like my own.
If you have any cool fourth of July tips or tricks to share, by all means, share them here, at least we will have something to look forward to next year.
