Watching Fireworks at Home

Happy Fourth of July!


The kids all wore their patriotic shirts today, and I painted all the girls' toenails (including mine) red for the occasion.  


We had planned to go watch one of several big fireworks shows in the area, but storm clouds rolled in late in the day so we contented ourselves with eating red, white, and blue muffins for dessert . . .


. . . and watching our neighbors fire off a few fireworks here and there.  The kids may actually have enjoyed that more since it wasn't as loud as a big show.  Plus, it was more exciting to see an occasional firework bloom in the sky because you never knew when or where they might appear over our neighborhood.  It was a pleasant way to spend July Fourth, but I still kinda wished we were up at Papa's cabin.

I'd like to go to Uncle Mike's cabin too.
