happy 4th!



Happy 4th...well 5th of july ;) brian made it home safely from Florida...just in time for me to get sick and have him step in for me...thank god for him! we had friends coming over for a bbq that afternoon so i spent most of the day in bed...dying! xavier and his friends started their rock business early...no customers. by the end of the day they took the stand on the road. packed up some of their rocks and canvased the neighborhood looking for people to buy their rocks. when it was all said and done they made $3.83. big money when you're 6! xavier asked if he could stay up until is was dark to do the fireworks...since it was a "special" night as he called it. he also pointed out that you can't get "the full effect" (his words not mine) of the fireworks unless it's dark...can't argue with that. so he got to stay up until 9:30. with the kids down the street and their parents we lit off what we had bought. the one above was the our "finale" called the cricket. it was pretty cool and only cost $3.99. we then sat back and watched all the other fireworks in the neighborhood going off. they must have gone to vancouver because they had the real deal. HUGE ones going into the air...who needs to go downtown when we've got our own show right here! so, i hope all of you had a safe and happy 4th. i'm hoping the clouds burn off today and we get some heat :)
