Okay, so it wasn't ALL fun! The kids had to do homeschool on the fourth too--story of our lives *smile* We are almost caught up--next Friday is our goal date and we are getting close! We spent the morning doing homeschool--at least it was fun stuff like making science models out of magnetix and making paper airplanes for science (see...I'm not such a mean orgre teacher!) We had LOTS of food--Steven outdid himself on the bbq--and it was all for our own family--we didn't even have anyone over LOL! We had hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage, macaroni salad, watermelon, ice cream--typical picnic on the 4th food! The kids played nintendo with dad (still trying to go through all those games) and I played with my stamps! When it finally got dark, we went outside to play. I have never used sparklers with my kids (I watched my nephew step on one and it went right through his foot) but I always buy them LOTS of glow sticks and poppers. Then we sat on the swing and watched Ft. Hood's fireworks right from our house! They were beautiful! We also watched a neighbor up the road start the field on fire with fireworks--stupid people--there was a burn ban on Ft. Hood! Luckily they were able to get it out. We also watched a car accident--which was very sad. People hurrying to get home from the fireworks went off the road--it looked like the car caught fire. Kimberly said I should have labeled this blog enry "Fun, Food, Fireworks and Fatalities on the Fourth" *sigh* I never could find any information on what happened or if people were hurt. I hope not!! Anyways...here are a few of our favorite fourth photos!
