I was walking in and out of some stores the other day when I saw all these cute July 4th stuff. I knew I had some white t's at home that I bought for much less (like to the tune of $1) so I decided to make some this year. These took about 5 minutes (longer to dry)
I hope you're inspired. Happy 4th coming up.
And really...these are the most gorgeous flowers.
Today, when I should be packing and cleaning we have been in the car for the past who knows how many hours tracking down a birth certificate. Good news is I checked for birth certificates last night so I was able to remedy the missing one today!!
We are off to Utah tomorrow. I will be flying alone with the 3 kids. I really thought last time was my last time flying alone but here we go again. I can honestly say I have never had any major scares or emergencies or rude people next to me. I've never been quite so lucky to sit next to someone like my mom who would totally help a stranger but i've always been next to people who are tolerant and usually very cordial and kind and there is usually someone nice to help me get my bags from above (curse you airlines for charging for bags so now I have to lug them all on the plane because hello, we can't afford 300 more dollars in baggage fee!!) Once Chloe made friends with the flight attendants and they hung her pictures throughout the plan. Twice I flew to Utah with friends and their kids. Once I was left standing in Oregon on Father's day Eve with my two kids and was told "you will have to come back tomorrow, your flight has left!"We've driven 31/2 hours just to get to the airport and start the long flight portion many many times. I started flying alone with a 4 month old and flew twice alone with two kids and now we have a 5 year old and 21/2 year old and a 4 month old. We're all so excited to see family that the journey is just something we have to get through to get there and there is where our hearts will be for the summer.
Happy traveling.
