4th of July

4th of July was as it should be for our family.....lots of good food and surrounded by lots of family!! A few items made for the kids to wear and have fun with.

Barrettes for all the girls (6 pairs)
Shirts for the boys. This idea is from Familyfun.com - several pipe cleaners are held together and bent in half. Then they are twisted and the ends are pulled apart to create the fireworks stamp pattern. It was VERY simple - to make 11 shirts took 15 minutes (of course this was after all the prep was done :o)

Girl shirts

More girl shirts

and more girl shirts! All the kids loved their shirts and wore them happily. DH and I each had a shirt and wore ours as well.
