4th of July

So, I am doing fairly well keeping this thing up, right?!? I think letting go the need to do things in order has freed me. We did make it to Enchanted Forest last weekend and I will blog about that and add some pics later.



Today's topic will be 4th of July. We had a big BBQ and fireworks display with all the neighborhood. There are 12 kids starting Kindergarten in our neighborhood so it was fun getting a bunch of them together (I really fear this neighborhood in 10 years- lots and lots of teenagers!) Bob sold some scrap metal from work and the money was just burning a hole in his pocket so what better place to burn it than 4 different fireworks stands. I just don't have the set things on fire and watch them explode gene, because I am happy to watch the other people's fireworks, but Bob has to blown up his own. Piper actually watched them this year. She is usually so afraid that she stays int he house. She was huddled behind me most of the time, but she stayed. Baby steps I guess. She did get into the sparklers. Paige, the dare devil loved every minute of it!
