Yes, our three boys had thirty three sparklers between them last night! I counted the dead ones before I put them in the bin this morning! We had several packets left over from the two fireworks parties we had last year. It seemed silly not to use them all up this year!!
Jordan loved the really crackly, spitty sparklers & enjoyed writing his name in the air.
Luke really enjoyed the whole experience but was a bit of a liability when it came to being aware of his surroundings! He nearly walked into Jordan & Timmy's sparklers on more than one occasion as he was going to put his dead sparkler in the mud! I made the boys wear gloves to hold the sparklers. Part of me thought that perhaps it was a little OTT.... BUT, I was SO glad Luke was wearing gloves when I realised that the reason he couldn't let go of one of his burnt out sparklers was because he was actually holding the hot part & his glove had melted onto the sparkler stick!!!! Phew! That was a close call! (Did you know that a sparkler gets as hot as a blow torch??)
Timmy loved watching the sparklers despite his serious face in the photo!
Annie Joy loved the whole Bonfire Night experience so much! (Can you see her in the photo??!) She played fireworks while waiting to get into the bath! It was really sweet- she moved a toy car over her head in arch shapes while making high pitched firework noises! We all enjoyed watching the neighbours numerous firework displays as well as the councils display at Sefton Park all from the warmth & comfort of our home! Living in a 3 storey house with adjoining gardens has many benefits! Hope you all had fun remembering the 5th of November & all that gun powder, treason & plot! ;O)
