Sparkler fun...

I'm always looking for a way to save a dime and a great way to (sometimes) do this, are the dollar bins at Target. A couple of weeks back, I saw sparklers for a buck and thought, "hey...Boo will get a kick out of these". Well...she did really like them, but they were a bit disappointing. The sparklers we had as kids were big and very "sparkly"; the ones from target were more like flames with a sparkle here and there. Lucky for us, three year olds don't know the difference :)

Praise God for America...and cement.

This weekend, Popo came over to finish up some new cement steps by our back door. He loves doing cement work which is such a blessing because Tom and I know absolutely nothing about it! We are so thankful for all of his efforts! Such a great gift!

Bailey too got to have some fun in the cement...well, sort of. She had to get her hands dirty (not her favorite thing) but she does think it's pretty neat to send her hand prints and name (and Mickey :), in the cement.

Today is the 4th of July. We thank God for the chance to live in a country with, truly, so many blessings. We recognize that our country needs God, and we pray that she turns towards him, but we also acknowledge all the blessings this country still affords. Today we went to church. We went to church and we praised God. We went to church and we praised God and no soldiers stormed into stop us. This is a freedom that we will fight for.

Summer weather means sprinkler fun...

The one great thing about Georgia's really hot weather?? Water fun! Sprinkler, pool, whatever...anything water related in a big hit during these horribly hot dog days of summer.
