Insta Friday

It's Friday- that means its time to link up over at LifeRearranged for



life rearranged
 
If you aren't following me on Instagram you should be- its fun & I post cute pics :)
Really I do.

 
 
Saturday I had my 1st drink since Ryan was born.
and it was DELICIOUS!
White Russian daiquiri...Ahhhh!!

 


 
 
Sunday we took the big boys downtown to eat at Manning's-
we had lunch and went to the Aquarium.
As you can tell they were very excited about lunch.
 
 
When we got home from the aquarium Ben told me he had a headache.
He stayed in bed until Wednesday.
He had no other symptoms except the fever-
I even took him to the doctor on Wednesday
got him the all clear, just fever- very weird.
 

 
Wednesday Night we hung out with my Dad's family.
My Granny's Assisted living place had a 4th Celebration.
We had dinner with her and a GREAT view of the fireworks.
Ryan slept through the WHOLE thing.
That's my boys and their cousins on the blanket.
 

 
Thursday- 4th of July Fun!
We hung out with friends. Here are all the kids after they DEMOLISHED a bowl of skittles
This sums up the day.
FUN & SUN!
 
 
 
Ryan would also like to tell you Hi.
 
 
 
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great long weekend!

I don't ~ but if I did

I don't decorate for 4th of July, or even for the summer really. Which really is a shame. My house is pretty bland right now. I do however decorate for football season. I cant wait to get a new football wreath for the upcoming season. I know priorities right?

I am however LOVING everyone's patriotic and adorable red, white, and blue décor. I would love to try to recreate some of these ideas that are jumping out at me-

Have a Happy & Safe 4th Everyone!
We will be celebrating with great friends, what are you doing for the 4th?

Happy 4th of July!!~ Red, White & Blue covered Marshmallows

I know this post is late, but I wanted to show off what I made for the 4th of July! I was inspired by every one's yummy deserts and this is what I came up with, Red, White & Blue Chocolate Covered Marshmallows! Yummy! Here's how I did it.


I did cover the craft block with cute red & white polka dot wrapping paper,
 but forgot to take a pic of it before we left. Oops!


I set out all my marshmallows on some wax paper counted them out.
Then I broke out my candy melts. 
I started with the white candy melts first, b/c I knew I had to dye them blue
(my grocery was out of blue candy melts BOO!)
Added some blue food coloring
Mixed it up, and started dipping.
I placed these blue UP until they dried, then stuck in the sticks.
SOMEONE snuck in and stole one or maybe two!
I added the sticks when the blue was almost dry and then went to work on the red.
Melt- and it just so happens that my microwave melts 1 bag of candy melts in exactly 1 minute!
Mix
Dip 

Repeat on all of the marshmallows and then 
DONE!

Hope you all had a GREAT 4th of July with your family & friends!
