Fun on the Fourth

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Winston Churchill

I got a long weekend off from school for Independence Day, which was great. The weekend as a whole was up and down, but we had some fun. Friday was our traditional BBQ at my parents' place. I wanted to take the kids to go see fireworks, so Mr. M came with us. Things between us have been very mixed, but he recently decided that he doesn't want a divorce and he's willing to work on our marriage. That's a huge breakthrough that I have been waiting MONTHS to hear!

Saturday, we did sparkers and pop-its at home, plus I changed my hair color. Below are pictures my sister and I took that evening. Have you ever wondered what it would look like if you could freeze a sparkler in time? Well, even if you haven't, I'll show you anyway!

 
Pretty sweet, huh? Next time we do them, I think I'll get some night shots and see how my camera does with those. I pretty much love my camera.
 
 
Charlie wasn't really sure how he felt about sparklers. He seemed to be a little afraid of them, but that's okay. I'll definitely take that over a total lack of fear. He seems to have a healthy respect for things that are hot or appear to be on fire.

 
He was only okay with it if I was right there with him and he did NOT want to hold one.
 
 
My sweet-faced Noah boy, who did not participate in the fun with the sparklers. He was happy laying in the grass and watching us.


BAM. How's that for a picture?
