Mommy made some patriotic pancakes this morning and explained to the kids that it was America's birthday.
Alex - "when is she coming over so we can sing to her?"
Mommy - "America is where we live...it is all around us"
Alex - "so I just sing to my pancakes?"
I believe after 16 years of being in Philadelphia, we finally made it to the 4th of July parade at Independence Mall. It was really nice and the kids enjoyed every minute. Alex had pure joy on his face with every new thing coming by...even after it started pouring rain on us. No fireworks for us, but Alex had some poppers....and he made us go to the store and buy 12 more boxes the next day...a hit?
