When in the course of human events...

and so it begins, The Declaration of Independence, which gives us reason to celebrate today in typical American fasion, includuing swimming, BBQ, and fireworks.

We were bitten by the craftiness bug this morning and inspired by an idea from Family Fun magazine to make some festive t-shirts using fabric paint and corrugated cardboard stars. They turned out really cute, even though Erika totally deviated from the original idea and came up with her own:)

I hope everyone had a terrific Independence Day!
