Pink Eye, The 4th of July, and Scarface

Our 4th of July was a little sad this year. In the morning I went to fetch Owen and noticed immediately that the poor boy had pink-eye. His sisters had it several weeks earlier so it was really no surprise that he got it too.

This put a nix on some holiday fun. Which of course let to an avalanche of tears from our girls. As a compromise, we agreed to visit the family for fireworks only, staying quarantined on our blanket for the night!








The kids did get to light some sparklers, and even Owen got in on the action. Unfortunately for him, he believed the sparkler was a super-size birthday candle and attempted to blow it out. Let's just say he's okay, but he does have a nice little scar on his chin to remind us of the occasion!

Happy 4th of July!
