Fireworks

Happy Belated 4th of July! What a great weekend we had here. We celebrated almost every day. Mom made red and blue pancakes. We ate Mom's marshmallow treats, lit off fireworks in the driveway. BBQ'd burgers, went to the Bees game and watched the fireworks after and just enjoyed each others company as well as Dad getting to be home an extra day on Monday. We hope yours was just as great. Love, The Ouren Boys.

4th of July Treat

Here's a quick and easy 4th of July goodie for your BBQ's and get togethers. Chocolate dipped marshmallows on skewers with sprinkles. I did some regular marshmallows and some strawberry flavored ones and decorated them with blue and red sprinkles. I also did both dark chocolate and white chocolate combinations.
They made a great, fun and edible centerpiece for my glitter toe/hair flair party I hosted last night. The table looked pretty festive.

I got this idea from a cousin of mine she had used the star shaped marshmallows which was even cuter, but after 4 stores of looking for them I gave up the hunt. I am still really pleased with the result though. Fun, easy and I didn't let the kids help this time but it would certainly be something they could do and enjoy. And they are loving eating and can't seem to get enough.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day! I am so grateful for this day and everything we celebrate and hold dear as American's. I finally got my tile made (better late than never). The writing is in gold so it's kind of hard to read but it says "From Bravery Comes Freedom." I think that just about sums it up.
Take some time to remember what this day is all about.
Be safe celebrating, but most of all have fun with it!
