4th festivities

the fourth of july this year means:

*myron is off work. {raise the roof to high heaven}
*whole fam stays in pjs like 2 thirds of the day
*dad doesn't shave {'cause it's a free country}
*angie deciding to embrace all things red, white, and blue {ie: pepsi}

* angie likes to paint her life away and gets three large walls + a hall + baseboards second-coated!

*it's hotter than outer darkness so us dunners opt to be holiday hermits
*we watch 3 movies while painting-n-cleaning
*angie mops portions of her newly installed tile with her fave pine sol/ammonia cocktail & pretty much weeps {tears of joy} while doing so
*rocking out to itunes & dancing til the girls dizzy
*chloe's eyes jumping out of her skull when she wears blue

*enjoying a wonderful & highly pleasurable dixon family sandwich/laughing/talking fest.
*sporting these adorable jellies from gma-dunn {they squeak with every step!}

*and mostly just:

-being so unbelievably grateful for:
this rockin' free land that we call home sweet home,
and for a loving God in Heaven who has blessed us with that {amazing} opportunity!

{hope you had a happy independence day!}
