Boom Boom...it's only July 2nd

As I listen to some of our neighbors shoot fireworks, I thought I'd write a blog about it. Premature fireworks have always been a pet peeve of mine.  Around our neighborhood, people will shoot them the entire week leading up to July 4th and sometimes the following few weeks, and it really irritates me. Why? I don't know, maybe because it's not just July 4th. It happens with every holiday, it seems: Memorial Day, New Years, Easter, Labor Day, etc.  You get the picture.  Any opportunity to shoot fireworks, they take it.  I am all for other people blowing their money to entertain me on the 4th, but not all week long.  Turbo is very scared of fireworks and hides in the closet. On top of him being scared, now we have Dylan who sometimes wakes easily, when he is startled.  If I work really hard to put him to bed and he gets woken up, I will be one mad mother.
