Festivus 2020

 

Trey Johnson, Henry Jones, Soren Andersen, Jack Lueck

Trey was invited to go boating with his friends for Soren's 11th Birthday.  Trey had a great time, but he was pretty sore the next day.  

June is always a fun month.  We have a double whammy of celebrations for Curtis.  We have his birthday back to back with Father's Day.  Depending on how the calendar falls sometimes his Birthday is first sometimes Father's day is first.  This year it was the Birthday that came first.

Happy Birthday VIP Breakfast- The gift was a whipped cream dispenser.  Now Curtis can make his own whipped cream and squirt it into his mouth.

Happy Father's Day.  His gift was a countertop water boiler for his hot drinks.

Independence day celebrations were canceled due to COVID.  We were on our own to do our own fireworks.  I went to the firework stand and bought a good supply.  I told her I don't want a bunch of loud noise makers.  I want fountains and things that look pretty.  I later discovered that was a mistake.



I was trying to make a festive watermelon that looked something like this.

I was in the process of making this spectacular creation when Trey woke up he saw what I was doing and the first thing he said was "Can I blow that up?"  I was reminded that I live with boys and I should have gotten more fireworks that go boom and let my boys be boys and do their thing of "blowing crap up" instead of creating fluff and pretty stuff.

Happy 4th of July

Trey-trying to blowup a watermelon without the proper equipment.

We lit off some fireworks in the backyard.  It was fun-ish.  Dax didn't want to participate and the kids got bored after a while.  We have some fireworks left over for New Years.  This time I will buy supplies so they can blow stuff up.
