Happy 4th!

We decided to have a picnic in the backyard for dinner tonight, Lucy's first one.



Um yes, that is McDonald's. Well you see, we forgot to plan something for dinner and because it is a holiday the stores around here all closed so early, so we had to go to Mickey D's, no choice. ;) Anyway, Lucy liked eating the yard.

This afternoon we worked on getting my stepping stones in to the yard. We made seven so far, and Dave thinks we can get another bunch done tomorrow while Lucy is napping (she was helping a lot).

I tried pressing different kinds of leaves into the wet cement some of the came really well, like this one:


That is it for our holiday. The fireworks are too late tonight for Lucy so I will be watching them out of my bedroom window alone again this year (Dave goes to the fireworks with the fire department so they can help with the crowd and put out any grass fires if necessary). We went to the lake last night but we left at 9:15 because Lucy was burning out, so we didn't get to see the ring of fire or the fireworks. Oh well, at least we didn't get stuck in traffic! :)

Right now Lucy is off with some of her Aunties, they called after dinner and asked if they could take her for a walk. I had to think about it of course, but then I ran upstairs to get Lucy changed and I shoved her out the door. :) Dave thinks we should try to get a few chores done while she is gone so I have to go mop the kitchen now. :(

Your stepping stones are so cool! Can you make one with Lucy's hand and/or foot prints? Or maybe that's dangerous? It would be cool anyway :)

We are skipping the fireworks again this year too. Little kids and fireworks just don't seem to go together.

I tried one with her hand print but she kept closing her hand and squishing the concrete around. :(
