i have to laugh. i LOVE the first in july. at least that’s how it’s known in our house thanks to our sweet little ash. fourth of july is first in july. and it’s one of her favorite holidays. as a matter of fact, that is how any patriotic item is known… it is “in july.” if she sees a flag it’s “look mom…there’s an in july flag.” anything red, white and blue “mom, did you see that in july shirt??” it’s just too cute, i know i should correct her, but i’ll let it live on a little longer.
my days of all this four year old cuteness around the house are numbered!
we had the best first in july this year. it was a wonderful weekend filled with great friends, too much food, beaches, games, late nights, hot dog and marshmellow roasting, lots of red white and blue, fireworks, freezing waterparks, finishing eachother’s sentences(lol, guys!) and america’s favorite pasttime. it was the perfect way to start the month! and we’re lucky because we get to end it the same way!! hurry back allemans! we are anxiously counting the days until you return!!!
i got the bright idea to make all the kids matching shirts at about 10pm friday night. after a trip to walmart and target to get everyone shirts and supplies, cute and crafty skye arrived to help me finish…thank goodness, otherwise it would have meant going to bed at 4am instead of 2am!! but i do have to say…they turned out so cute!!! thanks to the fun idea from “i am momma, hear me roar” (click for the tutorial) i changed it up a bit for the shirts we were using and think they turned out so fun! and i can’t for the life of me find where i saw the little girls shirts, but it was simply red jersey fabric (an old t-shirt) ruffled up and stitched on to a white t-shirt with a blue square of fabric. so fun! (something’s up with the colors in these and photoshop is being wierd. i’m too lazy to figure it out so they are being posted as is.)
have a great day!
