Can you believe 4th of July is only 6 days away?? Time to share some of the 4th of July things I’ve been a-brewin’ the past couple of weeks! I’ll start with a fun family activity!
We had SO MUCH fun BOOing at Halloween I thought I would put a 4th of July spin on the idea and here’s what I came up with…
Red, White & Blue on YOU!!
I bought loads of American Flag magnets (I got mine from www.flagsoncars.com) then we snuck around the neighborhood and parking lots and stuck them on cars with this little note:
I was just at the 99 cent store today and they had 3 American flags for 99 cents! That would be super fun to pass along… or maybe a 4th of July wreath or cupcakes with lil’ flags on top or red white and blue candy or… you get the idea.
Feel free to copy my note and modify it with what you are gifting. (I know I should have made the note non-specific to my giftie in an adorable poem… maybe next year!) Let’s make this a “thing” together!
Eli thought we should be disguised as bushes to “flag” people, so… (washable markers)
Cora Jane decided she wanted to be a kitty cat that hides in the bushes and she wanted her daddy to be a kitty too.
That girl has Hot Hubby wrapped around her little finger! (yes, the whole fam-damily got in on the face painting action!)
You should practice hiding in bushes every time a car goes by…
Be super sneaky and run a lot… (Eli’s face in this pic is priceless)
Tomorrow I’ll share a tutorial for this awesome wreath…

You’re too cute Kara. Can you adopt me please? I’m pretty certain that you’re the funnest (is that a word?) mom ever!
I’m so sorry to hear about your father-in-law. That’s incredibly sad. I’ve been praying for you guys since hearing about little Cyrus, so I’ll pray for comfort for you all as well. I’m so glad to hear that Cy is getting better though. Praise God!
I hope you all have a very Happy 4th :0)

LOL! I only blog the best stuff. And if you saw the state of my house right now… Eeek!
Thanks about my FIL. Super sad. I can’t wait till the test results come back about Cy. I would have never guessed a sore in the mouth and green boogers would lead to a hospital stay!
Prayers are truly felt and appreciated!!

Love it! Such a cute idea and the camo if definitely necessary.

Every time Eli hid in a bush he would ask if we could see him. It was a crack up! I’ll be near your place tomorrow after VBS (I think), can I drop off the littlest pet shop stuff?
