Party life

I'm really having fun with our firepit. We have oddles of wood now. We've used it twice and I hope to a whole lot more. For ages I wanted a chimania, a firepit is better LOL.

Last night we a had just a few friends over for a winnie roast, smores and fireworks. We cooked the hotdogs right over the fire. Camping without the sleeping on the ground thing LOL! Hannah got to blow up a barbie doll. She's been planning that for a long time now. The littles all did sparklers and really seemed to have fun with those, although they were a pain in the ass to light. I also bought little tanks that they all got to light themselves. Well except Xavier, he went inside because he hates the noise of fireworks. He missed almost all of the fireworks. I Got to do the main show. I really like fieworks, they are pretty, sparkely and unpredicatable. Did some small things and a lot of fountians and they were all nice and pretty, a couple were pretty big and long as well. I kept having to move my chair (the safty zone) back further and further. At one point I was trying to light two at once and the first one went off before I could get the second one light. Sparks started going everywhere and I was in the middle of them. I survied that unharmed but for a minute I though my hair might be on fire. Later I burned myself with a damn punk, that stung for awhile. Suprisingly I was sober throughout this. I had one drink that I finished just as the fireworks were finishing. I didn't want JT doing the fireworks because he was pretty far gone and I'm the one who ends up doing stupid shit, go figure.

After everybody left, we put the littles in bed with a movie and JT and I went and sat in the pool for awhile. The water was cold but the alone time was nice. The little were up until at least 12:30, that was the last time I checked on them.

Tonight we are going to meet some friends at the park and watch the professionals do the fireworks. Proffesional might be stretching it a bit much though. Last year it was two of my uncles setting off the towns display LOL. It will be nice to just hang around the park, let the kids play and relax with friends while waiting on sky pretties.
