Incoming!!!

It sounded like a war zone around here last night.

We decided to forgo fireworks this year, since BG isn't really old enough to appreciate them, and we thought the loud bangs would scare her. We were right. I don't know why this year was worse than others (perhaps I'm just more attuned to it?) but it sounded like we were in the middle of a fire-fight between the surrounding suburbs.

Needless to say, it spooked the dogs and it woke BG up a couple of times. We ended up turning on the air conditioner in her room--just on the fan--to try to drown out the sound.
