Fireworks

If you couldn't tell from the ending of my previous post, I'm not a huge fan of at-home fireworks.  They're loud and dangerous, most people do not take precautions to make sure they're going about everything safely and most importantly - they're loud.

My neighbors stayed up past midnight lighting off fireworks in the cul-de-sac right in front of Hannah's window.  I'm amazed that she slept straight from 8pm to 5am without even a peep.  Chris, on the other hand, did not sleep well and was late to work.  I had the day off because I'm awesome.  Or at least my employer is.

That being said (that I don't like fireworks, not that I'm awesome because we all already knew that...) I DO like sparklers.

Note that Chris and I have freakishly long arms and pointed everything away from Hannah. 

Hannah went to sleep early (I guess the parade really tuckered her out!)  so Chris and I lit a few more sparklers ourselves.
