Independence Day

This morning Mimi taught Little Man to say "Independence Day," although he still thought the fireworks were for the Hokies.

Yesterday afternoon we went to Uncle J and Aunt L's house for a cookout. They're excellent grillers, and Mimi contributed two dishes that I don't make (broccoli salad and carrot cake) so T. was happy to have more food that we don't usually have around here.

B. brought sparklers.
Little Man had strong feelings about the sparklers. I like the way M. is looking at him. "You're disturbing the peace, kid."
Like Cinderella's pumpkin coach, the magic disappeared at 9:00 and we hit meltdown land. By the time we got home at 9:15 he said, "I need to go night-night. I need my blankie. I need cover-you-up." He was asleep before the fireworks started at 9:30.
