Happy 4th of July...

We had a fun 4th of July!  Max and Becki joined us for grillin and fireworks.

I saw on Pinterest this idea to cut a hole in the bottom of a cup to hold a sparkler:

Alex loved it, it was like being a pirate while not getting any sparks on his hands!

We are thankful to our Free Country and all of those who make that possible.  God Bless America!

Summer Day...

We had a horrible hot streak (well, for MN), so Alex kept himself busy inside. 

There was a war in the kitchen, complete with props:

 I got some paints out for him to decorate his shield:

He opened a YuGiO shop in the kitchen:

 I had to spend $1.50 to join the YuGiO club, then another $.50 for my cards:

 Getting my cards:

 Placing a reorder:

(Just when I was about to put the cash register and VTech computer in the garage sale pile!)

I just love the imaginative things Alex thinks up!
