Eric thinks he is free to start gasoline fires in hopes to kill tree roots.
He's not. It's too scary (especially when the day before a house a few blocks away burnt down!!)
We are free to admire all of our fireworks and anticipate the fun.
We are free to sit in chairs that fit us perfectly.
We are free to laugh and smile and stare in awe at the fireworks going off.
We are free to follow our daddy's example and try to start the grass on fire.
We are free to wave sparklers all around through the air.

I love this post! You are so creative! Glad to see you and your family had a good holiday. Kacin in cowboy boots reminded me of Carson as a young boy--he would only wear sweat pants and cowboy boots. They're both great looks!
ReplyDeleteLove this, and miss you all more! Next year Eager and fireworks?!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I remember a little girl who was free to wear her tap shoes EVERYWHERE!
Sounds like fun!

I love seeing your life through your eyes - they are creative, loving, wonderful, free eyes. Thanks!
