We made our own fun this 4th of July. Normally we go to a friend's cabin for the 4th, but this year with our new addition and the heat, we opted to stay home. We had a fun filled day for Courtney and Mommy and Daddy but Lindsey had her normal day of eating, sleeping, and pooping! Here is what we did!
Brian and Courtney went to the park this morning for about 30 minutes. Lindsey and I stayed home as it was 90 degrees and that is no place for a newborn! When they came back they were both extremely sweaty and they shared a frozen treat!
When Brian went out to fill Courtney's pool for the afternoon, he came upon a tiny little frog. So here was our science lesson for the day. She looked at it for awhile and then helped Brian release it into the grass.
After our afternoon naps, we made our own fireworks (sort of). I follow a blog that has tons of ideas for toddlers and this was one of her sensory ideas. It is shaving cream and finger paint. It was pretty messy, but it cleaned up easily.

| It started with simple stirring. |
 |
| Getting into it a little more-and we added glitter! |
 |
| There go the fingers. |
 |
| Then the hands...... |
 |
| It's everywhere! |
 |
| The final product! |
After we cleaned up our project, we decided it was time to go swimming and play with Courtney's big sister gift from Loretta, Andy, Roxanne and Gloria.
We then got dressed and watched the fireworks. The loud noises scared her, but she watched from the safety of our window.
 |
| Since there are so many little kids in our neighborhood, they set them off early so the kids don't stay up too late! |
 |
| We finished the night with a bedtime snack of popcorn and read lots of books! | | |

Here was Lindsey's favorite part of the day.... as far as I could tell anyway.
 |
| Hanging out with Daddy! |

Happy 4th of July everyone!
