More fireworks

Saturday morning Jenna decided she was tired of putting stickers on herself, so she turned to the next best thing....poor Sadie. Good thing that she's a very tolerant dog.

Some of Jenna's work:

Jenna w/ her victim:

Saturday night our neighbors had their annual summer party. The kids both loved swimming in the pool, and Bruce and I enjoyed catching up with the neighbors that we don't see very often, and meeting a few that we hadn't meet yet. They hire someone to come in and put on a fireworks show every year, which Andrew was looking forward to. Last year they lit them off across the street, so we had to lay on the grass in front of our house in order to see them (Jenna slept thru it). This year they were a little further away, but still awesome to see. Jenna once again slept thru them, which was good since she doesn't like fireworks at all. We let Andrew do a couple of sparklers, then it was off to bed for Andrew and I, and Bruce headed back up to the party. We were both thankful that the kids slept in Sunday morning. Andrew didn't wake up until 8:30 and Jenna got up around 9 (which is much better than the 6:30 they are usually up!).


Barb and Russ came up for a visit today (Sunday), and brought the huge toboggan that Russ used as a kid (it's 7 feet!). Bruce and Andrew will be doing some sanding and refinishing of it before the snow comes back. I'm sure the kids will have fun using it on the sledding hill this winter. Barb made a delicious strawberry pie for dessert (a birthday pie), and home made whipped cream. Jenna only at the whipped cream and Andrew only ate the pie. We spent most of the day outside enjoying the perfect weather. We even ate supper on the deck, which hasn't happened as much as we'd like this summer.
