Yesterday was the 4th of July and we did all the traditional things....hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, which was manned by David. He received a lot of advice on cooking them but managed to do a great job despite the input. There was the usual baked beans and deviled eggs and my mom brought a chocolate cake that made everyone wish they hadn't eaten so much of everything else. The kids swam some and the adults sat and let their food digest. Our daughter Molly was allowed to come home from her placement and visit which made the day even sweeter. Shortly after dinner the rain started and continued through the evening. Steven had purchased an impressive array of fire works which he couldn't shoot off.There's almost nothing in the world a boy enjoys more then lighting things with lighters, so this evening we celebrated the 5th of July and oohed and aahed over his amazing display.

Kullen would've loved that! He spent $15 of his own money on an assortment - and every kind of firework is legal here - you know the kind that were outlawed 20 yrs ago up there because kids were blowing there arms off? In this way I wish I had stayed in girl-world. But Kullen likes to rock my world! Literally! I hear boom boom pop pop pop all the time!
kate - I passed an award on to you - you deserve it!
