We weren't really planning to get any fireworks this year, but as we were driving home from swimming last Wednesday, Mac saw a picture of them on the side of a bus stop & started whinging saying 'oh, we don't get to do any fireworks!! :( ' .....so I decided to do a quick detour past the mall before we headed home.
I told the boys as we were walking into the Warehouse, that we'd only be getting a small box & tried to explain to them that people that get the $200 boxes may as well just go out & burn their money haha....so they were pretty happy with their $7.50 sparkler box :) And I was really excited too cause I've been waiting since last year to have a go at taking some sparkler pics!! The ones on the net always look so cool so we got the boys going & I told them to make me some shapes....

They were really good at doing squiggly ones, but not much else :(
So then Stan jumped in on the act & did a few more....
Now I'm just looking forward to being able to do it with more adults around next time so we can write some cool words cause it was so much fun!!
These are cool as. We did some firework at about 6:30 tonight.....broad daylight! Made the kids way less scared about it. And joe confessed that he bought 2 more boxes last week so we'll have more sparklers for photos when we're together next :) Do you have to write backwards for the words to show up properly?
