Pride.

This morning I explained to Caeden about the symbolism of fireworks and why the 4th of July is special. He took it a step further. And it went a little something like this:

C: So, I am proud to live in America. I am proud to live on the earth. We should take care of it and pick up litter!

So that's what we did. 

After eating donuts (a weekend tradition at our house) we headed outside to the field directly behind the house to pick up litter. 

Seriously. I could not be any more proud of my son. Love him. 

And here is C Bear rocking her Matilda Jane outfit of the day. I think I have a close up of her so you can see her chocolate frosting donut stains on it ... 3 minutes after getting dressed. :)

Oh yes. Two of them. That's how we roll, people. 

Is he not the cutest little man? This outfit is his favorite, and I have to wash it daily so he has it to wear. So funny. But really, don't blame him. His t-shirt is limited edition Matilda Jane and is super, super soft. You would think I owned shares in MJ the way I talk about it, huh? But I adore everything about that company. The owners are visionary and as genuine they come. 

So that was our morning. 

Supposed to be at church right now, but Claire couldn't wait for bed ... up at the crack of dawn, that girl.

So, to all of you who attend SE Church, did you know you can  

download their sermons on iTunes? 

I have eight downloading as we speak ... so cool!
