FOURTH OF JULY MENU

Last year our Fourth of July celebration was nonexistent due to the scare we had with Jacob’s pregnancy. This year will be a different celebration for us as well since Maggie is in North Carolina so we are down a kiddo for our celebration.  Maggie being gone also alters how I feel about things.  In reality I feel like a cog in my wheel is missing. BUT, I do have four boys here; three are hungry ALL the time and have definite opinions on what they want to eat while one is happy still nursing his day away.  Add to that a hungry Daddy who as definite ideas of what good food is and we have five differing thoughts on the perfect meal. 

So to prepare for the Fourth of July I have ordered everyone’s Old Navy flag shirts along with a matching diaper cover for a patriotic fluffy bottom for my little Jacob. We are also planning on going to a Patriotic Picnic over the weekend, so we will have a busy and fun time.  In honor of the Fourth, I have also prepared a menu fit for my five hungry men that includes meal ideas from everyone.  This will be a yummy feast to say the least.
