4th of July cont...last one!





After all the yummy food and treats were consumed, we all settled into PJ's and watched a movie until dark. We can see two fireworks shows from our deck so the kids eagerly watched to see when they would start. Marshall spotted them first and screamed and we all ran out to the deck. Sadie thought they were scary at first but then loved them by the end. We couldn't really here them so I put on my America CD and it was perfect. Poor Daddy had allergies so bad that day he could only stand to be outside with us for about 5 minutes and had to go back inside. He was miserable that day! But again we tried to make the best of it!

We gave the kiddos glow sticks and they twirled them around to the music. They were a hit. But, of course they soon turned into "light sabers" and Jenna made a circle, put it on her head and said "Look mommy, I'm an angel!" Yes you are Jenna!

After the kids tired of watching we went downstairs on the patio and exploded about 5000 pop its! Plus shot off those little things that spray out confetti. The kids had so much fun with this and Sadie found it was much more efficient to just dump the whole bag and stomp on them! We ended the night off with a bang for sure! We missed being with family this year but how can you not have fun with 4 kids and 5000 pop its! (not really that many but close!) Mom didn't know that Daddy already bought some and she bought some too! The kids did not mind!
