Good afternoon everyone!
Just thought I would touch base with you all. Our plans for 4th of July are as follows:
As long as it doesn't rain DH and DS10 are planning on riding their bikes out to my Inlaws house; it's a 8 mile ride. We will be having a cookout around 5:00p with atleast 14 people in attendence; that includes us. After playing
lawn jarts (we have the real ones!), croquet and stuffing our faces we will set off the very small amount of fireworks that we have purchased. Usually we all get together and buy about $300 worth of stuff but with how tight the money is lately we decided to save it and not blow it up! Then we will pack up our stuff (lawn chairs, tables, toys, bikes, etc.), say goodbye and head home to clean up and fall into bed.
Origninal lawn jarts are the best!!! Your MIL sounds soooo wonderful. Hope you have a great time!
My MIL is such a great lady! She prepares all of the food for the cookout. I usually bring a couple of desserts and the other two families will bring a dish of something but the majority of it is MIL. I will be bringing my famous place and bake chocolate chip cookies, most of the credit goes to Pillsbury though. I am also bringing
peanutbutter chip brownies. One boxed brownie mix and one package of peanutbutter chips. Mix according to box and add chips, bake, cool, cut and enjoy!
