Re: 4th of July Poll
What plans do you have for this long weekend? We don't have too much going on. We are working on the nursery this weekend. I should be able to finish all of my sewing and DH is going to paint the stripes. I need to paint a quote on the wall and also paint an image that DH found that has decided HAS to be in there. Maybe I'll get it done, we'll see.
Will you shoot off fireworks? If so, what is your budget? Nope, no fireworks.
What is the weather forecast for the weekend? Too frickin hot!!!
What is your favorite summer food? Beverage? Hmmm ice cream! And drink...I love cranberry limeades
Will you wear red, white & blue? We'll see but since we're not doing anything its not a big deal either.
Just for fun, give a nestie a compliment: Sept508...your Ella is cute from the pics that you posted but post a new one!
Sat - movie in the park at dusk if E is up for it
Sun - my grandparents' for lunch (grilling & hanging out...showing off babe!)
Mon - parade, flea market, farmers' market, talent show, fireworks, homemade ice cream
Will you shoot off fireworks? If so, what is your budget?
Possibly if we stay late enough at my grandparents' (MO)
What is your favorite summer food? Beverage?
Kabobs
Iced tea or strawberry daiquiri
Will you wear red, white & blue?
In some form, yes
Just for fun, give a nestie a compliment:
Mrs Reem, I feel like you are the mom of this board. You seem to make sure everything runs smoothly here.
Will you shoot off fireworks? If so, what is your budget? I bought a few sparklers and snakes, I want to get some snaps. We have some old, illegal stuff from our days living in KS, so we might see what's good in that box still.
What is the weather forecast for the weekend? Uh, I imagine hot. I don't watch the weather.
What is your favorite summer food? Beverage? Anything grilled. Peach Bloomer Droppers
Will you wear red, white & blue? I won't as I don't have any that fits. DH has a flag shirt, as does Will. Nothing small enough for Chance.
Just for fun, give a nestie a compliment: William loves Mrs.Reem and her girls. He asked if we could play with them today!
What plans do you have for this long weekend? Tonight we are staying in, tomorrow we have a wedding to go to, Sunday we plan to grill out and watch the Prairie Meadow fireworks from our backyard (we have a great view!). Monday we are hoping to take the boat out with my parents and go tubing but it depends on how flooded the lake is
Will you shoot off fireworks? If so, what is your budget? Nope
What is the weather forecast for the weekend? I think its supposed to be pretty nice
What is your favorite summer food? Beverage? Anything on the grill, especially steaks now that DH has this great marinade he uses. Lemonade.
Will you wear red, white & blue? I don't own anything red white and blue

What plans do you have for this long weekend?Not a whole lot, it's nice!
We will go to my parent's on the 4th. My birthday is the 5th (my mom's too!) so we will have our little birthday party. DH and I are having a day date on Tuesday for my bday.
Will you shoot off fireworks? Nope, too expensive (and illegal) so we will watch them.
If so, what is your budget?
What is the weather forecast for the weekend? Probably hot!
What is your favorite summer food? Grilled hamburgers, macaroni salad and baked beans. (hey we are having this on Monday!)
Beverage?Bud Light Golden Wheat, lemonade, and sweet tea
Will you wear red, white & blue? Red

What plans do you have for this long weekend? I'm hoping to go bowling either today or tomorrow to get some use out of our summer bowling pass. Monday we are having friends over to watch the parade in Waukee, BBQ, and then go watch fireworks.
Will you shoot off fireworks? If so, what is your budget? Nope, I love watching fireworks, but they make me extremely nervous. We didn't even get sparklers!
What is the weather forecast for the weekend? Cooler than it has been, but my swollen feet say still too hot!
What is your favorite summer food? Beverage? I love anything off the grill. Usually my favorite summer beverage is a nice margarita, but this year its cherry KoolAid.
Will you wear red, white & blue? My most comfy sleeveless maternity top happens to be white, but that's just a coincidence. I couldn't see buying something patriotic that I would only fit in once.
What plans do you have for this long weekend? My sisters took the boys today and DH and I napped all day (and cleaned some house). We were supposed to go out to eat but decided to get Applebees carside to go bc we wanted to get another nap in before the boys come home
Tomorrow his parents come to see the boys and Monday we're taking the boys to their first parade.
Will you shoot off fireworks? If so, what is your budget? No fireworks here...
What is your favorite summer food? Beverage? Grillin food and summer hummer
Will you wear red, white & blue?...probably not but I will probably find the boys something in those colors
Just for fun, give a nestie a compliment...Mrs Reem-I love to keep up to date with you and your blog and have to agree she's like the mom around here (even though I don't post much) I still like to keep up with you girls.
BP-I LOVE the shopping cart cover you made me and I when I think of the perfect mom/wife you always come to mind....you seem to have it down
SMTAYLOR-I can't help but think of you from time to time, I even keep DH informed on your situation and have to admit I look for your name on posts of an update.
