Happy birthday America!
Today didn't go quite as expected. We were excited that we were going to walk with our school in the Marietta Parade that we always enjoy going to watch. Unfortunately, it has been awful weather, and the parade and festivities were cancelled. So we had an easy-going day at home instead. We started out the morning with some flag toast.
Lily wanted to make lunch. She asked me to make us grilled cheese sandwiches and then she decorated them. While she did this, I attempted a little science experiment using red (apple raspberry juice), white (sprite) and blue (Gatorade). Unfortunately, the sugar content in the white and blue were almost identical so they mixed very quickly. The red stayed separate though so that was cool. Next time, I'll look for ones with a larger sugar difference. The girls still thought it was pretty neat.
We were able to take a couple of quick pictures in between rain showers.
Red, white and blue dinner with Liz and my dad (Mom is in Tennessee and Ryan's in Alaska). I put a close-up of the jello in here because, to be honest, I'm pretty proud of how well it turned out! Tasted good too which makes it even better. We also enjoyed some fruit, sun-dried tomato chicken and a roll. For dessert, we had my homemade strawberry popsicles which are very yummy.
The girls are now having a sleepover in Mia's room which they always enjoy. A little more low-key of a birthday celebration than we expected, but nice nonetheless. I always love time spent with them!
