This year for the 4th we didn't do much. Mainly because Steve had to work and trying to keep 4 young kids up until after 10 is just TOO tiring! Steve worked until 6ish, so for breakfast I made the kids red, white, and blue pancakes. Then I took them to Jabbers to play for the afternoon, Hoping this would tire them out to take naps.....yeah right. Only Reese took one....I should have drugged them ;) JK! (kind of) Then we made homemade chicken pot pies for dinner. I know we went against all tradition of BBQin but Steve wasn't here to man the grill. And they turned out perfect...surprisingly! So After we lit off our fireworks here with the kids until we were attacked by Mosquito's (we always forget bug repellent) I kept looking at the kids and seeing a mosquito on their forehead sucking away. lol! Also a funny thing here in Idaho is that at all the fireworks booths that are everywhere, when you buy fireworks that go off higher than 5 ft. you have to sign a paper saying you wont lite them off here in ID!!! LOL! Yeah who abides by that? Its the FOURF of July! So after our own we drove up on the hill and watched the cities before getting all the kids to sleep with in minutes after 11pm. Best night of them going straight to bed. I didn't even have to lay with Tori.
