Monday is the 4th!

I love when the Fourth of July falls on a weekday, it just makes the day feel more special! My husband loves the 4th... it is his favorite holiday. Really!We love the BBQ's, fireworks, ice cream, Freedom and friends. I thought I would share a cute little poem about dear sweet Besty, is she grand!!

Betsy Ross lived on Arch Street near Second,

Her sewing was very,very, fine.

General Washington came down to see her,

To order a brand new flag.

Six white stripes and seven pretty red ones.

Thirteen white stars upon a field of blue;

'Twas the first flag our country ever floated,

Three cheers for the red, white and blue.

Three cheers for the red, white and blue.

Three cheers for the red, white and blue.

'Twas the first flag our country ever floated.

Three cheers for the red, white and blue!

Happy Fourth of July.

4th of July Sparkler Treat ~ Mid Week Munchies

With the Fourth of July, right around the corner, I thought I would share this super patriot rice krispie sparkler! My Mom made them for the boys for Memorial Day and we loved them so much we've made them again for the 4th!

They are super easy, all you need is:

A batch of oh, so yummy Rice Krispies

a star cookie cutter

a skewer

white chocolate and sprinkles

silver dragees

a little American Flag

Before you know it...the kids will be waving these treats as "God Bless America" plays in the background.
