I agree 100%....I like fireworks to see and to shoot, but like you said....it should be confined to the 4th and New Year's Eve at midnight...and if I would hit the lottery for big money. I digress....on the 4th we should all have had our fun by 10 pm. Amen.
p.s. That's adorable about Eddie checking on Connor....such fine boys you have, Amber!
You're right. Last year we were driving home from downtown and I was oohing and aaahing over a really cool display as we approached our home. Turned out the neighbors decided to use our driveway since we weren't home. I'm sure the dogs were freaking out and there was a huge mess. I think part of Momma Coco's problem has been the fireworks as well. I love them but people have not respect or common sense any more.
We haven't bought fireworks since the kids were young. We have enough neighbors that do fireworks and live close to Lawrence park that we can see many for free. Hubby and I went to Costco's yesterday and saw people buying $100+ worth of fireworks. They must have way too much money to spend like that.
We were at Costco earlier in the week and were shocked that people were paying $250 for gigantic fireworks packages for what I call "driveway fireworks."
Maggie gets suspicious whenever there's a boom. Tilly is fascinated. And I'm freaked out because who knows if someone's going to shoot off a gun and it hits Tilly while she's on the deck at night watching the fireworks???
Amber you live near me, so I know the fireworks you're talking about...obnoxious!!
