4 Moments from the 4th

Just 4 shots I loved from our 4th of July. First, of course, is our kids.  Yes, they do huddle frequently for a shot together, because I ask them to, and they oblige me. However…they put themselves in this order most every time. The trio always scramble around each other saying “Birth order, birth order!”.  And then {A} jumps on at the end. lol  Being the orderly person that I am, I don’t argue. : )  It rather pleases me, actually.

Now….can I just say how much I LOVE this photo of {O}?…..

“I LOVE THIS PHOTO OF {O}!”

Thanks.  Yes, she actually is that cool.  Those are my shades she has on. But she’s cool without them, too.

She has also lost that last front tooth, since this photo was taken.  PRAISE THE LORD!  The last of the trio’s top front teeth are all out.

Speaking of teeth…..here’s one to throw you…….

This is {A}.  I can’t tell you how happy I was that this dang molar finally came out!!  It’s been bugging her for, I don’t know…months.   Is it any wonder why it bothered her so, now that we can see?  Look at the tooth that was already up underneath it.  All I can say is….Amen.

I have to mention…..we actually lost yet ANOTHER tooth in the house since these 2.   Yes…that would be 3 teeth in 5 days.  I think we’ve been losing a tooth every other day since winter, or something.  With three 6 year olds and a pre-teen, that’s where we’re at in life right now.  I won’t freak you out, and tell you how we have to keep them all.

Just to help you get those disturbing images out of your head, I will leave you with what might be one of the sweetest American moments there ever was…….

Can you see what it going on there?  Need a closer look?  Ok…..

My sweet, sweet, thoughtful boy, is feeding the grasshopper… a blade of grass.  It was taking bites, too!

<shaking head> If that’s not what America is all about, I don’t know what is.

Hope your 4th was full of moments to remember, too!
