AMT - Independence Day Edition

Well hello there...
It's time again for Answer Me This. Head on over to Catholic All Year for more questions and answers! I'm enjoying writing these posts and reading lots of others.

 1. How did you celebrate the 4th of July?

We celebrated by working! Yeah, my husband had to direct the music at Mass at 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. I sang in a wedding at 3:00 pm. I stayed outside most of the day, though and played with the kids in their pool. Even our baby enjoyed being out in the sun most of the day. And then - the ice cream truck! After seeking it for weeks we finally caught it parked down the street that evening. It was before dinner time, but oh well! Had to do it. We cooked out and let the (two oldest) kids stay up late to watch fireworks. We had a decent view of the local fireworks from our street. Unfortunately the kids got many mosquito bites! Poor things.

2. Do you sunburn easily?

My two brothers seemed to get the Sicilian, olive-skinned genes, but unfortunately I take after my English heritage and, yes, I do burn easily.

3. Hot dogs, yay or nay?

Yay! I do like a good Chicago hot dog. No ketchup. Relish, mustard, onion. Yeah.

4. Have you ever set off fireworks?

No, I have not ever done that. We did have some party poppers and smoke bombs this year which was fun. I loved sparklers when I was a kid, but I was terrified of the thing you would light on fire and then it would grow into black snakes. Are those still around?

5. Have you ever jumped off the high dive?

No! Yikes. As stated earlier I'm not a very good swimmer.

6. Do you do anything weird in your sleep?

My husband tells me that I snore and it must be pretty loud because one night recently our 6 Y.O. slept on the floor of our room and said that he heard Daddy snoring. D.H. corrected him saying, no, that's Mommy who snores. Our son replied, "But it sounded like man-snoring!"

Thanks for reading. Hope you're having a blessed week.
