Happy 4th!

Today I..picked a few handfuls of Peonies from the garden. This is one of the vases I filled. They're so fragrant, my kitchen smells heavenly.

Then I baked a double batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. The chocolate chips are few and far between. No thanks to me for sitting and eating a "few" the night before. It's kinda nice to get one once in a while instead of a mouthful.

My husband BBQ'd today. All I did was some prep work for the burgers and threw some steak fries in the oven. Classic American for a classic kinda day. Now for a relaxing evening of hearing other peoples fireworks.

I did buy what I though was "kid friendly" fireworks for the girls. I tried to hand Mia a sparkler and she freaked out. And then I set Isabel up, at a safe distance but with a good view to watch some simple "showers"...she freaked out. So, my relaxing evening will involve thoughts on how to de-traumatize my girls for next year.

Happy 4th All!
