4th of July

What happened to the day when poppers would last 10 minutes per box, throwing one on the ground at a time?  Nope, not my kids.  Throw the whole box out and stomp on them = 4.2 seconds

Yay!  I lit something dangerous!

 

Why was I the one responsible for lighting the firework with the shortest fuse?

Fireworks in a water bucket?

Yes, interesting indeed.

Sparklers are so much fun!

Until they start to run out.

The following day...
Not amused with the flaming sticks of fire.

Semi-Amused

Every year, punks are an issue with my children.  It scares me to think of them running with one of these things.  Luckily, Amanda introduced me to the "light, drop, and run" method of lighting fireworks.  It worked great when my kids actually used it!

My Oh My, Mulberry Pie!

Parents vs Players

Sizing Up the Competition

It was a fun year.  Good job, Dentonators!

Mulberry Pie

SO delicious!

It was funny to watch the kids make the pie.  I would turn around to see the kids with mulberry smears all over their faces, but they swore up and down that they didn't snitch any of the berries.  And they wonder how Mom always knows. ;)
