WW – My Little Firecrackers

July 7, 2010 by Elaine

On Friday the boys and I made ‘homemade’ sparklers out of pipe cleaners. (should read, I made them while the boys watched and ‘critiqued’ my work).

And then on Saturday they had fun trying to keep them away from their sister while all she did was try to put them in her mouth just like EVERY.THING.ELSE she sees with her beautiful blue eyes.

Today I found a chocolate chip in her mouth that I presume she found on the kitchen floor. What can I say? She IS her mother’s daughter.

Anywho, here’s some cute pics of my children together donning their Independence Day garb and enjoying the fruits of MY pipe cleaner bending labor.

    Ah… the pacifier. I loved that for my daughter just so she wouldn’t put everything in her mouth. Very cute firecrackers! And, I like the ones you made, too.

    What a neat idea! “Your kids” did a great job on the sparklers!

    I am impressed that they all stayed on the couch for the picture! So cute!

    Ok, I LOVE your ‘sparklers’ totally safer than the real one.

    When we do sparklers, someone always get burned. Not good.

    How adorable! I love the play sparklers too – what a great idea and even better for a prop in pictures. 🙂
