Well as I went on the adventure in seeking out the greatest thing (to a Man) explosives! Have you ever noticed that when you buy Fireworks and men are around they have to make them "BETTER?" It is quite amazing how they look at the great TNT and instantly become an adolescent again, It is a wonder that they live to become adults, As being married to one of those I will make it a better fire work husband I love it it brings out the inner-child with in him. He does have safety precautions it is "Everyone stand Back" This year I will have my children with us for the 4th of July and how great and wonderful it is. They live in California and they don't get to have the fun and excitement of blowing things up. *that I know of" I do feel that all little and big boys should have the opportunity to fire off their own Roman Candle's. Whether we are Adults or Children the fascination of fireworks still makes us all Ooh and Aah about them, we make fun and say ooh and aah about certain thins but yet we still do it.
The adventure of going and getting took an entire Saturday as I held my little one Jeremiah, and 2 friends to Washington hostage in my mini-van and listening to everything from Keith Urban to the Pointer Sisters I have to say they were all good sports, We were like 3 women and a baby on the hunt down for fireworks in the great state of Washington, We traveled all the way to Kelso, 40 miles up the boarder. we stopped at every single tent warehouse and tried to find an Indian Reservation, I even so much ed asked someone in their car with complete headdress and feathers hanging out of it "where are the Indian reservations? they must have gotten a little chuckle from me and stated "were from Oregon" I thought to myself "your in Washington with complete Native American Garb hanging out of your car and blasting Native Music and they can't tell me where a location is?" So I found out that Washington changed the laws this year on would not start selling fireworks until the weekend of the 28th. The problem with that is I will be in Cali picking up the children. As I depressively drive back to the state of Oregon we make a call... I did achieve my goal in making my children "actually husband" very very happy from getting the good old fashioned products of TNT through as I call it "home girl shopping network" ooh yeah the greatest day to blow things up Independence Day will surely be a blast.

I am laughing - I keep thinking of GI Jane. Something along the lines of:
"Why do the guys say they want to be a SEAL?"
"To blow sh** up."
Yeah - I think that sums up a great deal of the male psyche. But then, I can't deny that I myself posses quite the inner pyro. Something about the dancing flames and the pretty colors....ooohhh, so pretty...want to touch
