The Not-So-Fashionable Mom

4th of July weekend has become very fun for our family the last few years!  We've started some new traditions including a church BBQ, family photos, and a special dessert!

So here are a few pics from the weekend:

Nothin' like some delicious chicken wings for a 4th of July lunch!!!

These brownies are making my mouth water just looking at the pic.  It just figures that it's the taco salad that I forget to take to the picnic....of course I remembered these brownies. 

Face painting!!! 

This was my 3rd year making this dessert!  I broke my trifle bowl sometime since last year, so a plastic bowl had to do. In this year's design, I selected a blueberry USA surrounded by strawberries and covered with red sprinkles.

My Mister refuses to drink water.  So my mom helped me with this idea....install a dolphin water fountain in the bathroom!!!  So far, it's not working well.  However, Mya and the neighborhood kids love it.  It will save me some dishwasher space using less cups!

Family pic gone wrong?  You can't see the month, day or year.  At least everyone is smiling!!! 

And then there's this idea that went all wrong too....

We got a decent selfie though!!! 

Hope your 4th of July was fabulous!
