Hope you all have a fun weekend planned. We're going to a pool party thrown by The Man's coworker, whose only instructions for what to bring were "alcohol". Should be fun for the kids!
In the evening, we're off to watch the fireworks that are shot from a nearby stadium, where they will have an orchestra playing patriotic symphony music. We'll be miles away in a mall parking lot, sitting in lawn chairs and eating marshmallows, but I'm sure we'll get the same effect.
Why marshmallows? When Boodle was around 3, we took her to her first fireworks show, and she insisted that we bring marshmallows. We were confused, but complied. When we got there, she seemed confused, and we then discovered that she had yet to discern the difference between "fireworks" and "campfire". The tradition has held for the last 5 years.
Other than that, my weekend will be filled with frantic packing, planning and shopping. Boodle inexplicably has grown out of all the pants that I bought her in January. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Me neither. I hope this isn't a trend or anything.
Be safe everyone. Enjoy your holiday weekend. No matter your current political world view, please remember that this country rocks. Happy Fourth of July!!

4 of you HAD to say...:
It DOES rock, doesn't it? Have fun watching the fireworks. It's the one thing I miss about not being in the States for the 4th. It just isn't the same watching them on TV. Although, the Boston Pops are pretty awesome.
Happy 4th!!
Happy 4th you guys!
MWAH!

Oh and happy Marshmallow Day! Gotta be a close second to Doughnut Day.
We have somehow adopted this marshmallow tradition for our 4th too. I think Boopa-Loop wants it to keep her cousins close.
