Red, White and Blurgers

July 5, 2011 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Gratitude, Just Me, Minnesota Me, Special Events 3 Comments

Alternately titled: Head & Shoulders, Burgers & Toes

7/4/2011

…because it’s the 4th of Do-You-Not-Just-Love-This-Holiday? July…

…and because we’ve only just returned from three lovely days in the great state of North Dakota…

(please don’t be jealous…)

…and because we are celebrating quietly but joyously with supper on the deck & smoke bombs on the driveway, and later—if they’re good and don’t bicker and basically do every single thing I ask them from now until then—I will take my kids to watch the city fireworks display…

Because of all of these somewhat mitigating factors, I am writing this more-or-less fluffy post for no other reason than to say…

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

And may God continue to bless this great and glorious land. Gosh, I am thankful for our freedoms. Gosh I am thankful for the gift of living…here

    Happy 4th! Our kids did not do every single thing we asked of them today without complaining, eye rolling, and whining so we are not going to the Stone Arch Bridge for our annual viewing of the MPLS fireworks.:( You know it's hard to stick to that consequence. I really hate it, but I know it's worth doing. Tell me it's worth doing.:(

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
