Happy Independence Day
Enjoy the fireworks
Cordy’s school had a
parade in the rain, marching
with their drums and flag
No fireworks for us
Both girls will be asleep by
nine no matter what
I think Cordy would probably like to watch the fireworks, but I don’t think it’ll happen this year, because my two girls turn into pumpkins at 9 pm. No matter where we are or what exciting event is happening, they cannot stay awake past 9 pm, and many times fall asleep earlier.
Normally they’re in bed by 7:30 pm at the latest. Cordy has always wanted an early bedtime, and Mira is following the trend. It makes it tough to do anything later in the evening, but it’s also nice to have a little time without them. Luckily the neighborhood fireworks display is very close by, so the girls can go to sleep in the evening, and Aaron and I can watch the show on our front lawn.
(Before you say how lucky we are, know that both Cordy and Mira are awake at 6:00 am or earlier every morning. I’d happily trade an hour later bedtime for an hour later wake-up time, but it never happens.)
To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.
REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! We will delete any links without haiku!
enjoy your fireworks and i envy your time in the evenings sans kids.
seems like the grass is always greener, isn’t it?
The parade looked like fun! We won’t be able to attend any fireworks displays for a few years until the kids are old either. I think the loud popping might scare them too.
Happy 4th!!!
Fireworks are always so much fun. Enjoy!
The past few years have been rained out here (I know! In TX no less!) but this year is looking good!
Have fun!
Happy 4th! I’m not so lucky with the early bedtime anymore. The baby wants to make sure he’s not missing anything LOL Still up early though. Some how I’m thinking I get the short end of the stick some where along the line.
Happy 4th of July to you and yours too! I love the ‘face off’ in your previous post … very cute!
I’ve got HF posts on both of my blogs as usual.
Hugs and blessings,
Love the idea of parades and fireworks, but I am not happy in crowds and can’t take the mosquitoes.
Sure looks like you had fun, though.
Happy holiday weekend!
Hope everyone has an awesome 4th!
Happy 4th!!
I love the fireworks…Always have…My daughter hates them.
Of course, it’s all about the holiday. Happy Fourth!!
(de-lurking…)
Happy fireworks!
We’re getting rained out – and I’d have loved a parade and fireworks too.
Tatum goes to bed early and rises early too … oh well!
Happy 4th!
I love haiku Friday…or Hairku as we call it!

Our fireworks were almost cancelled by an monsoon storm. It is soo hot here that most people sit in their cars parked nearby the firework event and just watch them from the car. It is too hot here (Arizona) to do any different for us!
Happy fourth and enjoy your time in the evenings. Mornings are tough however, hoping it will change for you soon.

Happy Independence weekend 🙂 We’re the other way around. Maggie will stay awake as late as I do (and she loved the fireworks!), but she sleeps in late in the morning.
