Happy Fireworks Day

We had a pretty low key 4th of July. The boys spent the majority of the day with Vovo and Cookie (family friend, that's her nickname...fits too, because she's so sweet) then we met up with them at dinner time. Cookie is addicted to her camera and she seems to think my kids are good material to photograph. I snuck in this one. Sadie LOVED chomping on some watermelon. She is so ready for big kid food. I gave her some guacamole too and she fell in love.

My mom has the birds back. I don't know if they belong to her now or if they are still on loan from Jasmine but my boys love "having" pets. I kind of like this arrangement too, they claim them as pets but I don't have to take care of them! Sweet. These are the kind of cool things grandparents do I guess. Ethan wanted to show me how brave he is to hold Pogo (or is this one Ernie?) on his shoulder.
Hamburgers....mmmm.....honestly, the kids weren't as interested in eating as they were in playing. Maybe that's the behavior I need to adopt? haha....
