Independence Days

We like birthdays at our house. And this week we got to celebrate the birthdays of a couple of countries.

On July 1st, we celebrated Canada Day by singing Oh, Canada, eating ice cream that Adam patiently shaped into maple leaves, and watching The Red Green Show.

(No, we're not Canadian. We just like a reason to celebrate.)





Three days  later, on July 4th, we decked the house in red, white and blue, ate an outdoor dinner and patriotically devoured this cake:

Then we watched the American Rock series from Schoolhouse Rock (if you're old enough, you'll remember some of these): The Shot Heard Round the World, No More Kings, Constitution Preamble, The Great American Melting Pot, and my personal favorite, I'm Just a Bill.

We've had a great week. Wherever you live, be grateful for what you have. And maybe eat some really yummy cake . . .
