Good work Dad!

Anyone who has ever watched the movie Joe Dirt, knows exactly who Kickn' Wing is. Snakes and sparklers They're the best! That is our motto for our 4th of July festivities. Every year we set off our cheap red neck firework display and luckily our kids still love it and don't think we are lame just yet. We always invited their grandma and Uncle down to join the fun. We set off lots of smoke bombs, in fact this year we had our own little mushroom cloud forming. We do snakes and sparklers of course. We do lots of pop its, and lots of string poppers. And for the kids favorite part we turn them loose with silly string and the adults are fare game. The kids love to cover us up in different colors of string. After all the fun the clean up begins. We make it a contest to see which kid can make the biggest ball of silly string. It's a great way to get the mess cleaned up. Since it rained on July 4th ALL day long! We decided to do our fireworks on the 5th instead. It was still as much fun on the 5th as on the 4th. In fact Hubby and I had a great time with all the 4th rain. We put the kids to bed after playing board games and reading books, then we indulged in a bowl of ice cream and watched the newest Friday the 13th on pay per view. It was surprisingly good. Then on the 5th we took the kids over to the school yard to play tennis and ride their bikes, and hubby and I ran some sprints on the track, then we came home and kick boxed. What a great holiday we had!
