Hey guys! Just wanted to pop in and wish you all a HAPPY 4th! We’ll be going over to Zack’s parent’s house for a BBQ and I guess fireworks, even though if you all were here last year you know all about the fireworks incident, and thus, me? I will be boycotting fireworks, safely inside the house with my little man, eating all of the watermelon. ;) Me, not him. Obvi. He will be eating all of the milk. Because apparentlyyyy he is going through quite the growth spurt at the moment, which explains the waking-up-every-two-hours-at-night thing. Yeah, that’s happening. Again. But it’s ‘kay. Those little rolls and chubby/kissable cheeks are worth every minute of sleep lost.
Be safe tonight!

I remember reading about that firework incident last year! Good call staying inside. :) Have a happy 4th!
Happy 4th to you, my dear! :)

Eek! Totally agree on the boycott! So dumb! Unless they are very, very far away…and lit by people who know what they are doing. But even then I get a bit nervous. I’ve seen too many accidents happen. I just got all panicky reading your story from last year. You stay inside with your little Sam and I will stay inside with my little Fin…goooo team! :)
Ahhh I’m sorry for making you panicky!! But yes, I will for sure be staying inside too! Solidarity, sister! ;)

Well I hope you have an awesome weekend! Oh, you should also know that last night.. I got the man to sit down and watch the first several episodes of The OC. It’s safe to say he is now on his way to being hooked ;)
YES! That is amazing!!! Best ever :) So glad you convinced him! Let me know who his fave character is after you’ve been watching for a while… Zack’s is Sandy Cohen lol.

Love the look! Happy 4th!

Oh my gosh!! I didn’t find your blog until recently but just went and read that story and WOW. That is exactly why I hate fireworks too. SO SCARY. Even the legal ones scare me. I always sit farrrrrrrrrrr away and hope for the best. Hope you and Sam have the best 4th…inside away from anything dangerous!
Girrrrl, you and me both! Fireworks need to be FAR away from me! We definitely had a safe 4th this year, inside :)

You look so cute. I went and read your experience last year. That is so scary. One of my top peeves are illegal fireworks. We have neighbors that have ruined every Fourth of July with them. Last year was our last straw and my husband had to warn them that if it happened this year, we would be calling the police. Twice I had seen them land fireworks on neighbor’s houses! Thankfully his talk worked because there were no issues last night. We enjoyed the fireworks the city does from our yard about a mile away. I am so glad you were not hurt. People just do not understand the dangers of explosives. Sparklers are just as dangerous and the CPA is trying to get them to not be used by children. As my husband says, “people won’t let their kids play with a lit match but they will let them play with a stick shooting fire?” Sorry this is so long! I just really agree with you. : )

Ugh, it really is the worst!!! I’m so glad your neighbors were safer this year. Illegals terrify me! I definitely agree about sparklers too. They make for pretty pictures, but it scares me seeing little itty bitty kids playing with them!

We bought some fireworks this year for this first time and the boys were having a hoot throwing some of the smaller ones in the air. One of them was spinning in the air and whipped back toward the blanket and almost hit my sister in law who was holding a baby at the time. NOT OKAY. Also our neighbors accidentally knocked over one of their fireworks and launched it right at us just a few minutes after that. Super uncool. And fireworks are expensive? We basically just lit $80 on fire.
Ohhhh my gosh, that is exactly what happened to me last year- I am SO GLAD your sister in law and the baby were not hurt at all!!!! Seriously, my worst nightmare there. I walked outside and the neighbors were still lighting their fireworks, and I got this crazy flashback and went back inside SO quickly- I am definitely emotionally scarred from last year. :/
