Last minute I realized that I've gotten out of my groove in planning holiday activities for the boys and the 4th was a day ahead. SOoooo, we did a couple last minute things.
Made flags and sang some songs. The boys went around waving the flags singing, "America, America, America" with gusto!
On the way to the store Caleb said he wanted to make cupcakes, which gave me the thought of the flag cake. We grabbed some cheap cake mix and frosting at the Dollar Tree and headed home. They loved mixing the batter so they could taste it! Then we tried adding some food coloring to make the cake red, white and blue. It turned out more like pink, yellow (they didn't have white cake) and light blue. Oh well. :)
The berries were fun! I had to keep stopping them from pushing them all the way down to the bottom. Can you tell they are more interested in eating it than pictures.
Oh yes, and we made red, white and blue firework pictures with glitter as well, so I had to take a picture with everything! Looks like they are pretty much thinking, "Come on, finish the pictures so we can get on with eating the cake."
