Before you give the credit to me, I didn't make this cake.  John made it for the 4th!  It had red, white, and blue swirl inside and the boys loved it!

We had a super fun 4th of July.  Although we stayed home, we made the most of it with fireworks every night, slip n slide, water balloons, swimming, and fun with friends.  It was a great time and the boys were so tired after the 4th that they actually slept until 9:30 am the following morning.  This was the first time that Finn has really participated in the 4th of July festivities.  He was already in bed by the time we started last year, but this year he really enjoyed the fireworks and called them "hot and loud."  Luke was his typical crazy self with the fireworks.  He loves to help John light them and as far as he is concerned-the louder they are, the better!  Happy 4th of July!
