We do this every year. This year, when I called for a semblance of order (meaning get on something red, white and blue and come outside for the picture), I got this ragtag duo.
I admonished them for one second, before The Big O said, What? Mom, it's a free country!
And he's right.
Happy Fourth of July!
The smiles on your boys' faces tells, beyond a thousand words, what a wonderful job you are doing with them. Such a beautiful, simple tradition, and what a creative and great mother you are to think of it & keep it going, in the midst of all of the chaos and difficulties of Sophie's serious medical issues! Yes, it is a free country - thanks be to God, and our forefathers.
ReplyDeleteLord, lord, lord. What beautiful boys. Their faces are the faces of good-men-to-be. Be proud, Elizabeth.
