My dear friend Gena Davis requested that I give Kate a patriotic hair style for the 4th, and here is the result. Pretty cool!
For our 4th celebration we just kept it simple with a cookout and small kid friendly fireworks in the back yard. Our kids are still young enough that small fireworks are perfect for them! This one firework was memorable--the poopy puppy, it had snakes that came out of its butt and then gas and sparks at the end. Totally random but funny! We had our good friends the Czubas over and they all seemed to have a blast. Our kids adore their kids, so it always makes our time together nice.
Jon was awesome and let the kids take turns lighting the fireworks. They loved it! I was amazed at how cooperative they were.
The girls started using their magical powers to make the fireworks grow. It is always cute to watch their imagination work! I love being a mom of girls! Kate was funny with the sparklers too, so took them so seriously! She had a look on her face that was part wonder and part caution the whole time. Then, the sparklers Jon got were pretty sweet and changed color and crackled differently at different times, and Kate was not a huge fan when it started cracking louder. Abby thought she was hot stuff with her sparkler, but got bored with it before it burned all the way out.
After fireworks and popsicles we put on a movie for the kids in Kate's room so the adults could play a game. The kids thought blowing up the air mattress was major fun! I love how the simple things in life can be the most fun!
