trip part two....

SO, the second part of this adventure brought us to the awesome {miss brandi's house}, where she put up with my spawn and all of our crap.  michelle and amelia immediately went back to being buddies and wesley and liam fought over toys.  elise either sat and read, wormed her way into drawing pictures or instigated things that lead to yelling and reprimanding.

we stayed over the fourth of july weekend.  apparently clarksville is all for neighborhood fireworks displays.  brandi's neighbors in particular were rather keen to get their bang on.  from seven until midnight the fireworks were off.  bang. boom.bang.  it was charming and fun at first, not so much when wanting to get you and your kids to bed. four days of that left poor brandi a walking zombie.  

i am grateful for my dear friend's graciousness and patience with my abundantly hyper children and my odd food ways. she was most generous indeed.

the lovely miss brandi...

wished you were here {bennet}.

michelle and amelia.

best buds once again.

you would never know they are the same age,

less than a month apart.

lighting sparklers.

amelia was less than happy about it.

of course we had the obligatory glow sticks.

can't have a fourth without those...
