Our fabulous friends came over for festivities on The Fourth;
it goes without saying the we had a fantastic time!
It got a little crazy there for awhile
with 8 boys firing off fireworks all at once...
When we were finished,
somehow
we missed sending them off with a proper goodbye
- which consists of everyone in both families yelling "goodbye"
as long and loud as possible -
(the neighbors love it!)
Maybe they will find it in their hearts to forgive us, in time....

Probably part of why we forgot the send-off
was Tyler was working figuring out a deal with the kids
regarding trash pick-up from all the firework fallout.
$.02 for little stuff - $.05 for big - $.10 for extra big
~
So,
I'm looking at the snap dragon mess on the sidewalk this morning
and do some quick calculations.
There are fifty pops in a box.
A box costs a fourth of a dollar
They'll get paid a full buck ($.02 x 50)
for a box's worth of snap dragon trash.
for a box's worth of snap dragon trash.
They think that's pretty fantastic!
We had a great Fourth too!! 22 people came over.
ReplyDeleteNathan bought a big tub of fireworks for the first time. (People shoot off fireworks all year round here.)
Of course it wasn't dark when we did it since sunset isn't even until 10:20. At 10:30 we got a call that we were being too noisy and since it was a work day they didn't appreciate it. Ugh... We didn't even get to the grand finale!! Guess we'll save that for another time (when we know they're gone).
Cheers to a Happy Fourth!!
bahaha, so if you buy, throw down, and pick up the snapdragons, you can make a pretty good profit per box :)
ReplyDeleteyup :-) but only this one time ~ from here on out, they have to pick up - for free - their own trash
