I'm doing my best to stay awake, but I'm still under the effects of the food coma from yesterday's festivities! Ahh, food coma...
So...we had a BBQ yesterday to celebrate the 4th. The weather actually cooperated, too: cloudy in the morning, but hot and sunny by late afternoon. We didn't have to turn on the A/C until early afternoon, but it made the house nice and cool.
Really not much to report: we ate, we talked, we laughed, we blew things up. Well, actually we set things on fire. I'm talking about the fireworks, just to let you know. Some of our neighbors got their hands on the "illegal" fireworks (read: the ones that shoot up high in the air), and regaled us with their spectacular-ness, which made me happy. I like big "explosions" on the 4th; who doesn't?
The kids were having a blast: Ryan and Ethan took it upon themselves to douse the fireworks after they were done, just to make sure nothing was left hot; Vanessa directed Scott on where to place the fireworks and when to light them, and Jeff directed everyone's attention to the other fireworks going off by screaming, "Look!" every five seconds. I think I have a bunch of pyromaniacs on my hands, to tell you the truth, lol.
The night pretty much ended when our crack-tastic fireworks from Wal-Mart ran out. Everyone slowly left, leaving us with a heap of food, which can be good and bad. Good in that I won't have to cook until the end of the world (and then, why bother!); bad as in, I'm trying to lose weight here, people! Hahahaha.
I'll try to post pictures if I can ever figure out how to fix them in PhotoShop; 'cause y'know, Mindy hogs all the photography/PhotoShop talents to herself, lol!
