They wanted chocolate.
It was dinner time.
I said no.
They really wanted chocolate.
It was a holiday.
I said yes.
It was the 4th of July and I thought they deserved some freedom.
I did not put sandals on Magoo while he was wearing these socks. That was someone else. He has the freedom to wear sandals with socks. And I have the freedom to abstain.
Here’s to a country where we’re free in many more ways than those listed above. Although I am daily aware that this country isn’t perfect, I love it dearly and feel so grateful to live here. I’m far from perfect myself and I just hope that every day I’m getting better… and that there’s some pie left in the kitchen.
Chocolate is a great way to celebrate independence.
If there’s no pie left at you’re house – you can come have a piece with me at mine. Chocolate pie. Seriously. It’s mm-mmm good. Happy 4th!
My thirty-something brother started with the socks and sandles in college, way back when it was kinda ok. But HE STILL DOES IT! Ahhhh! Drives me nuts!
So glad it is the 5th now… my chocolate cake is no longer allowed to pass my lips. It was DELISH!!!
Perfectly said!
Are socks and crocs okay?? As long as they’re kids?? Happy 4th!
is your eye any better? and how is Sinead after the defeat?
and i was free to eat almost the entire bowl of corn/avocado salsa last night …. mmmmmmm
PIE! Here, here.
I have no idea why, but we have ten frozen pies in our freezer.
Wanna come for a visit? I think we have apple. =P
mmmm… pie….
That is a comfy looking chair. I would like one big enough that I can be totally surrounded like your kids are in that pic.
A chair like that, and some pie…what could be better?
FYI: we still have homemade apple pie. I’ll save a piece for you.
Apple pie, freedom, chocolate and cute shirts. Could there possibly be any better way to celebrate?
CUTE kids! Glad you had a great holiday! I love the 4th of july!
was it ever kind of okay to wear socks and sandals?
Maybe in Utah.
My brother in law does it. He’s only 25. Poor guy.
Oh that is such a great post! Happy fourth on the fifth to you!!

Are you sure about the whole freedom to wear socks with sandals thing? I’m not sure anyone’s free enough to do that! Of course, it’s been a while since I perused the Bill of Rights!
Happy 4th all week long!
Our #2 wears black socks pulled up with his sandals. He’s 9 and won’t listen to our deperate pleas to stop. He must take after his Grandpa Blake.
How funny! There’s a whole lot of good stuff that comes with freedom, eh? Nice meeting you and congratulations on your Island Girl award! Stacey
