Shooting Off

My little babies are growing up so fast, of course and as usual. This year we celebrated the 4th of July by heading to the in-laws to bbq and set off fireworks. Aidan was especially excited to get to help light fireworks this year. He was a regular little pyromaniac. It was really cute! He jumped all over the place and kept telling Brad, "I want to light another one!"--before the last one was even done going off. Breanna really like the fireworks, but was not so interested in lighting them. She sat on my lap and enjoyed the view...all while singing songs at the top of her lungs. Her favorite song, of course, was "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore" which she sings all the time--at the top of her lungs in a big rocker voice. It is really funny! I guess she is just practicing for when she will have to sing over the noise of the kitchen. (As you might, or might not recall, she wants to be a chef and a singer when she grows up.) We also sang "God Bless America" and a couple more that I can't recall, but it was fun for all...well, the neighbors didn't complain, anyway. Good food, good fireworks, good company. What more can you ask for?
