4th of July

We went to the church at 8:00am on the fourth for a flag raising ceremony and a light breakfast. It has something we have been doing every year since we moved in. It's a good thing for the kids to realize why we celebrate the 4th of July. I worked on the 4th so DH and the kids had thier own little 4th celebration. Sp loved the fireworks!! On Sunday we had our family celebration and did more fireworks. I couldn't believe how Sp was. He was crazy with the sparklers. He was swinging them around and wacked himself on the head, threw down his sparkler which I in turn stepped on and burnt the bottom of my toe!! But it was great. We had to keep a close eye on him, he wanted to run out there and get the fountains while they were going off!! Crazy kid!!
