Well the 4th of July may be over, ....


but A~'s desire for fireworks has just been wetted! She was a little nervous at first... but once she got into the swing of things, she really started to enjoy it.

The day started out nice and lazy... tv in bed, lounging around in pajamas (what could be better, after all?!). Then she played with kids at the neighbors house while we demolished just about all of the side steps and landing. Our thought was just to replace the wood on the landing and redo the cracked steps... but as more lumber came off we realized that the supports were not salvagable after all. So now we have just a little of the old structure left as we try to decide what to do with it. As long and we remember that we can't use it as an exit, we should be ok. At least we have 2 back doors!

After demo came sparklers part one... followed by grilling by the light of the sparklers.... followed by fireworks. We didn't have anything really big, but A~ seemed to prefer the smaller, quieter ones... so it was perfect!

much love,
