With the 4th coming up tomorrow I thought I would take a moment to share a few of our favorite kid friendly fireworks.
One of the first years we did fireworks this was the result.
Who would have ever thought that one tiny little frog could cause such a scare. Just because it looks like a kid firework doesn't mean it will sound like one.
Evil little frog.
Now days we tend to stick to the quieter things.
Sparklers, Snap n' pops, Smoke bombs, Roman Candles and Parachutes. If you do decide to go with the little chickens, tanks or frogs, be warned!
But more importantly be safe!
{THREE} Insta-lately
If you follow me on Instagram (and you should) you may be noticing a lot of pool pictures lately. It seems we have taken up residence at the local public pool spending almost ever afternoon there. I would say that this is having a negative affect but since the house isn't too dirty since we aren't home much and we don't have school too do, why not?! Here are a few favorites from the past month.
{FOUR} This Is Living
Ever since VBS my girls have been completely obsessed with this song.
Last Friday while listening to it for the millionth this month something happened in my heart and I was suddenly aware of just how beautiful their worship is to Him. He never gets tired of hearing the same words of praise over and over again from His children.
My eyes teared up with joy at the worship erupting in our home.
I have had some pretty amazing posts over the past few months but I do believe this one just might be my new favorite. You'll smile, you'll cry. It is a MUST read for all.

Have a great weekend! We will see you back here soon!
Great recap! You hightlighted some areas that I'll have to check out. So sorry about that darn frog. I've never seen it,but I think I'll stay away from it as well. Great capture of how it scared the kids. Hope you enjoy your 4th. Have a great one! ~Lowanda
I'm going to have to have my boys listen to that song. I love it!! No crazy fireworks here in Iowa, though I heard they may try to lift our ban... Hoping to break out sparklers!
Oh my, those fireworks pictures! Poor girls. Mason usually does pretty well with them, but I think the loud noise does kind of scare him a little. We plan to celebrate with sparklers :) PS I love the way you change up your "Friday Favorites" header thing for each month and make it festive! Happy 4th weekend friend!
The most inconspicuous fireworks are always the ones to be the loudest/scariest it seems! I've been searching high and low for sparklers, but can't find them anywhere! I'm guessing due to our drought they've been banned. *sadface* LOVING all the pool pics! Summers aren't summers without endless days spent at the pool. Have the best weekend!
Lol. Definitely do. I am SO glad that I thought to snap those pictures instead of comforting the kids right away. Does that sound terrible? But really, we have laughed at those photos every 4th since that happened 😊. Hope you had a great one too!
It is such a good song isn’t it?! I hope they love it too! I can not imagine living where fireworks are banned. That just seems so wrong to me, lol. What is the 4th without bottle rockets?! Hehe he!
It was terribly sad but I am SO glad I took those photos. They give a me a really good laugh every year 😊. Our girls both did great this year and loved lighting them. I guess a lot has changed. Thanks! It makes me smile that someone actually notices 😊.
We went to a party and the hosts had sparklers! Apparently sparklers aren't sold in our town, but are in all the neighboring towns (which literally touch each other). So weird.
Those pool photos are just sooo funny! Love the little line of girls sunbathing. So cute. Thank you so much for the chance to share my rambles with you!!

I know, right?!?! Who would have thought a little frog would shriek so terribly. It was awful!
ReplyDeleteDid you end up finding any?
Amen, amen. We have swim lessons this morning and more pool time planned this afternoon too!

ReplyDeleteThat is so weird but at least you got your hands on some and know, FFR 😊!

ReplyDeleteWe have some pretty fantastic aquatic centers here. It didn't always used to be that way though :).
Those crazy cousins are a blast.
