Happy 4th of July!

July 4, 2012

Please tell me that some of you are a wee bit dorky like me and still know the words to this song 30-ish years later…

I hope that you’re out enjoying your family and celebrating the birthday of our great country. We’ll be having a (most-likely-indoor-since-it’s-supposed-to-be-super-hot) picnic with my family. It’s been fun to hear Emma realizing the significance of July 4. Yesterday she was figuring out how old America is and talking about why we wear red, white, and blue on July 4. Three cheers for the beginnings of patriotism! I think I’ll share my Schoolhouse Rock video with her today. 🙂
