The 3rd & 4th felt like the last few hours of Extreme Home Makeover. We wanted to have a party but really didn't have the seating space so Justin ran around like crazy trying to finish some things around the house. He finished grouting the floor in the living room 2 hours before our guests arrived & had just enough time to move in the tv & some couches & call it good. I love the floor - it's so pretty! And I love having a distinct living room and dining room.
Justin made a slip & slide in the back yard & Alex, Andrew, Sam & Sierra had a blast with it. The next day Sam & Sierra decided that their bodies were much less forgiving than when they were 12 & that maybe they'd seen the end of their slip'n'sliding days. Since I haven't been photographing much these days I forget things when I get out my camera - really basic things like checking the film speed. So, these pics are horrible quality.
For dinner we had a Chinese potluck. Odd, yes? It was wonderful. Stephanie made wontons, Justin made Oriental beef, orange chicken and postickers, Sam brought Chinese sausage & long beans, & Jessica brought ice cream & fixings for dessert... yum! Our neigbor Don & some of Jessica's friends joined us & we had a great time.
Everyone walked down the street to the park to watch the BC fireworks. Before the show started some intelligent guy thought it would be a good idea to light a firework in the middle of the park... on the grass... that really heated things up. Just as the finale began the sprinklers came on & everone in the park was screaming & running around. As you can see the kids had fun lighting our own fireworks in front of our house. Here's Alex's fire dance.
