sparklers and tank wars





I'll post about Italy like I promised soon. But first, a delightful show with sparklers! We didn't buy any new fireworks this year, since we had a few tanks, sparklers, snakes and flashers from last year. The kids loved it! After our few boxes of fun were gone, I broke out the real fun! The little glowsticks that the kids love, they usually play light sabers with them. One box had jewelery accesories, so Ryanna wore earrings, a necklace and bracelets. She danced and sang and made up songs about the Fourth of July and made Dawson do it too. (which he wasn't too keen on) It was a fun Fourth!




We started out with a tank war. Mine is on the LEFT and I kicked Ryan's trash! (and I certainly did NOT kick it over with my foot!)


"Come on! Shake your tail feathers!"
.
The kids got the hang of lighting sparklers off of eachother's

Dawson said, "It smells like STINK!" and plugged his nose a lot because of the smoke coming off of the sparkler. (I think because it was a year old, is smoked a ton)


I told the kids to dance during the flashers, and this is what I got. Ryanna was still shaking her tail feathers, and Dawson was dancing like Princess Leia from his Star Wars Legos game.









Silly kids! They had a blast!

We also had plenty of light-sabering going on at our house. Who needs fireworks when you've got glow sticks?

glow sticks!! The girls had so much fun with them- I'm starting to think WE need to get some for our late night shopping sprees (you know, so we can stand out even more :)).
