Our 4th of July was very uneventful.
Very.
Nick is in Alabama with my parents
visiting my grandpa,
and playing golf galore.
Brenden had to work a good chunk of the
day & evening.
Turns out a lot of people go OUT for burgers on the 4th. Go figure.
We did go to a small family gathering for a short bit
but left early to call it a night
since Brenden had an early flight out this morning
to go visit his friend in Tennessee.
But we briefly had a chance to do some fireworks.
In broad daylight. Woot!
Since the punk wasn't lighting this sparkler fast
enough, K-man brought out the big guns.

We sternly warn our children to back away when
we are pulling cookies out of a 350 degree oven
but every July we put 1000+ degree
flaming sticks in their hands
and tell them to dance around. Hmmm.
And dance he did.
My boy.
Sigh.
And as always, a little burning action, thinking
that just telling them to 'be careful' will
prevent such things. Hee.
After three children you think I should know by
now that giving coffee to a toddler in
the late afternoon will prove
to be a bad idea. I should.
This cheesy grin remained until about 11 PM.

I think with that sweeter than sweet smile from Lucy..I could hang until 11:00. hee hee
And again, your son totally cracks me up. Im thinking theater! Big Time! Most pictures dont usually send me into a fit of laughter, where my family members come running to see if im ok, however...thanks for the morning laugh.
A low key 4th but still fun! Want to go boating with us next year??? We may have a few empty seats! Say your prayers before boarding!! ;-)
We had bad luck 2 out of three years!
Happy 4th!!
Ha ha ha. . . that is hilarious. And I can see lucy "NO SIDE EFFECTS!!" lol
OMG!!! If Jaden takes a nap she is up
until 11:00!! I can't imagine how
late she would stay up if I gave
her coffee.
I love the cheesy smile!! :)
Well you live and learn! At least it was a cheesy grin...I had a cheesy whine and she didn't have coffee, just too much icecream
hee...you should give her some melatonin. It works. :) Glad to be done with the flaming sticks. It was extremely challenging trying to allow my munchkins to do a few. I wish you lived nearby and we could have had you over. :) But maybe the country couldn't take the two of us in such near proximity. hee (I'm thinkin' a trip to China to see Lynsay should be in our future, though!)
I wish I could laugh out loudER on here!!! I LOVE IT! Oh yes. My little guy loves coffee too. : ) And I think your big boy is hilarious! Must take after his dad, lol. :)
Our 4th was about like that. Hey--I thought that boy I saw was Nick--here in AL, just kidding. Where is he playing?

Hi Lori,
I have seen your comments on a lot of the same blogs that we read! I always love to read the things you write. So I thought I would stop by to say hi.
I had a look through your blog and have to say that your children are absolutely precious!
