4th of July: Sunshine and a Scrooge!

Last year by 4th blog title was- 4th of July: Sparklers and Scrooges. This year it is almost the same.
We opted for a relaxing day instead of running around and being social. We just got back from our weekend away yesterday, so had some catching up to do around here and were really just to have one more night at home hanging out before Lance heads back to work.
This year it was so very beautiful. We went to the Kirkland parade which was great - and I think Lilah liked it better this year (she was only scared of the firetrucks that were super loud). She even did some dancing with a little 2 year old friend that sat next to us. The sun was shining with a wonderful ~70ish degree weather. Nice.
I am however still a firework scrooge. Yep, I hate them. There is not one thing I like about them other than possibly I may enjoy a sparkler or two. Other than that, they suck. And, they give me ulcers worrying about if they will wake my daughter up. That's the main reason why I dislike them, other than they're just dumb.
The positive part about all of this is that we just recently got annexed into the City of Kirkland, where fireworks are BANNED!! Whoop whoop! Julie joked with me today that I probably will have the police department on speed dial tonight. I may just do that for those fools that break the law and set off fireworks tonight.
So, that's where the "Sunshine and Scrooge" comes from. I will be happy when tonight is over and the sunshine is out tomorrow and all the firework stands go back home. ;)
