Fourth of July weekend. It started Saturday afternoon, really, when Ivy, Henry and T went to the fireworks stand to pick up “supplies”. Also known as anything cool that isn’t too loud. Like, not loud at all.

Smoke bombs were a favorite.

They finished up those fireworks on Sunday, along with a lot of cleaning and organizing. We didn’t get completely finished, but T and my dad worked a lot in the garage and I worked several hours in my office (if you’ve seen either of these places, you know they’re both BIG JOBS).

On Monday evening, my dad and Henry went to buy more fireworks (ones that lit up this time, and even some snappers), while the girls helped grandma make up a bbq/picnic for us.
