So we don't have any pictures from our celebration this year(this is an old photo just to add to be festive). Probably becasue it was mostly a non-event. We didn't think a big fireworks show two hours past bedtime sounded like a blast, so we stayed home. We tried to make it fun with the boys and just played games. Then right before they went to bed we stepped outside to set off some poppers we had left over. We counted to three, and I said we would yell "Happy 4th of July". (Just trying to make it fun for the kids.) Anyway, Henry had to stop me and say, "but mom, George isn't American, he's from Germany. He's a German person.". George heard him and yelled out in agreement, "Yeah, I'm a Germaner!". Darin and I started laughing pretty hard, which only made him yell it out a few more times. All along Henry nodding in agreement, "Yeah, he's a Germaner." Well anyway, Happy 4th of July from those of us who are American.

taylor and I thought this was so funny!
That is funny. We had a great 4th and the kids loved the fireworks. Then the next day was filled with meltdowns...so no more fireworks for this family.
Yeah, I've just decided that until the kids can stay awake late without dramatic consequences for the next day, or at least until they are old enough to know how to sleep-in, we just can't do fireworks either. Too bad. It always sounds like a fun idea.
I didn't even know you had a Germaner in the family. What a funny story! I am glad someone enjoyed a meltdown free July 5th!
I love your blog! We loved seeing pics of your fam! Very cute.
