Because holidays are so much more of a big deal when you have kids
***
And even though every year before we had Lily & Liam, I did put out flags for Memorial Day, I didn't celebrate it, like I do now
***
Last year we watched the parade, spent some hours in Labor & Delivery (because Liam wasn't moving) and then rounded out the day with a picnic with friends...and our naked babies running around with melted Popsicles dripping down their bodies
***
This year we will start our day with breakfast enhanced with red and blue (strawberries & blueberries), for the holiday, because that's just how you do it when you have kids...make everything special
***
***
and spend the day kicking off our summer...in the sprinkler, because we are finally getting some warm weather, and finishing it with steaks on the grill, corn on the cob and a rhubarb pie that Lily is helping to make (and girl is excited), with ice cream on top - because it's a holiday
***
And it will be fun....like the holidays are with littles
and someday they will understand what it really means
***
but this year, they will swing flags (or try to eat them), wear red, white and blue and play outside
***
Happy Memorial Day!
