Fire cookies




Max was very excited about the fireworks around the 4th of July. The kids in the neighborhood would set off firecrackers quite frequently and Max would get all excited and say "what was that?". One day the Max came running in to us saying "fire cookies". We were very confused. What are fire cookies? He kept saying it and we realized that firworks were going off and then it all made perfect sense. The terms animal-crackers and animal-cookies are used interchangably in our house ... and apparently so are fire-crackers and fire-cookies. All other fieworks and sparklers are also called fire cookies too.

We had a nice inside BBQ at the Darbys' for the 4th July due to the rain and then brought Sam home to bed while Max watched the firecookies from the bench on the front porch and sparkled his own little fire cookies. Sam stayed asleep through the whole of the RJ Corman fireworks dispay.
