Our family has tried to instill the importance of national holidays. Today, after our patriotic waffles (cause it is totally respectful to eat our flag inspired waffles), we posted the colors and recited the pledge. Tiago and Mia did awesome with the words. Then we sang the National Anthem. I am sure our neighbors were wondering about us and our singing of the National Anthem this morning. Mainly because it was way off key and too high for my voice and well the kids only knew some of the words. Still, it was a moment to think about the sacrafices so many people have made to make this country a living possibility.
And how about a little game of war to round things out a bit! Fernando had the kids so into the game that they played for over an hour. And yes, Tiago is dressed in a Storm Trooper Costume.
