Somehow I forgot to blog about our 4th of July adventures.\u00a0 So under the guise of better late than never, here’s a delayed re-cap of our holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

We are slowly developing a tradition of going up to the Rosenbaums for BBQ and fireworks.\u00a0 Leina remembered last year’s party so she was very much excited to head back for the second annual 4th of July celebration.\u00a0 They got to run around Kat’s house and gorge themselves on potato chips and candy.\u00a0 Then Uncle Joshie brought out the Costco box of fireworks and things got loud!\u00a0 Kulia was still a little gun shy of the fireworks, but Leina couldn’t get enough.\u00a0 I never really know how much Leina sees and understands but one way I can peek into her inner psyche is through her drawings.\u00a0 Just the other day, she emerged from her room bearing this pictures:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You see before you (in correct height order) Kulia, Leina, Mom, Dad and Joshie.\u00a0 The big blue pillar is the bucket of water and the red box is the unlit firework.\u00a0 Up in the sky are the exploding fireworks, the moon and some clouds.\u00a0 Ok, the fireworks were not larger than Joshie but I guess to a 4 yr old they seemed rather huge.\u00a0 Leina was particularly fascinated by the bucket of water they kept on hand just in case.\u00a0 The fact that she put it in the pictures just kills me.\u00a0 Anyway, I think she did a pretty good job to summing out the great evening we had at Kat & Josh’s house.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, while we were out having fun, Artie was home freaking out.\u00a0 Last year we left him home alone and he was ok.\u00a0 This year?\u00a0 Um, no.\u00a0 Definitely not ok.\u00a0 In fact, while we were out enjoying himself, Artie was trying to eat apart our house.\u00a0 This is what remain of our bathroom mat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And this is what remains of our door frame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The raw hide chew bone I left him?\u00a0 Totally untouched.\u00a0 Oh yes, he also gnawed through a couple door knobs as well.\u00a0 I’m thinking next year we are getting him some serious drugs.<\/p>\n

Finally, my mom requested I post some of the pictures Kulia drew while Tutu was here.\u00a0 Kulia isn’t interested in trying to drawing things yet.\u00a0 Mostly, she just goes for whatever color she fancies all mixed together.\u00a0 Personally, I think the results are gorgeous.\u00a0 My own little Monet.\u00a0 How luck am I?<\/p>\n
