Getting Ready For Fourth of July

I know there are lots of people who do lots of decorations and decorating for the Fourth of July, and I wish I was one of those people.

I would love to have this hanging up

From the Crafty Cupboard

Or to have decorated like this: 

From Room To Inspire

Or to have this hanging on my door: 

From Naptime Crafts

Or even made a table runner:

I mean you would think I could of even just printed this free printable: 

From  Landee See, Landee Do

Sigh... but that is just not me. As I am only sometimes creative. And this last week, not so much so. 

However, this is how you know that I am getting ready for the 4th of July.

And this...

I don't decorate. I cook. Well, we cook.

We are having a BBQ with a dozen or so friends and family. We are having pulled pork, as seen in the upper corner of the fridge, coleslaw, baked beans, spinach salad and watermelon. And then what I am most excited about....

These cookies will soon be ice cream sandwiches with homemade vanilla ice cream. Oh yeah! 

If you live in the US whatcha all doing? Anything fun?
