FunkyB came down for the 4^th to help eat some BBQ and light off explosives. We played a little Karaoke the night before just so Freyja could use her vocal coaching skills again on Mau. Once again, she sat calmly while FunkyB & I sang (and we were rusty) but started freaking out when Mau stepped up to the microphone. I’m not sure how FunkyB slept that night with Mau & I singing duets after he went to bed which included me imitating Dino off the Flintstones during guitar solos. I guess he couldn’t hear it over his snoring :P

Mary Jo’s daughter came by on the 4^th with her boyfriend and their arsenal. Altogether we had, dare I say it, TOO MUCH! There, I said it. We were lighting off mortars 3 at a time. I also have to say I thought those M88s were going to be lame and they turned out to be more fun than I could have imagined when we added things like recycling bins and coffee cans and something to kill time while we waited for darkness.

Maestro has finally been neutered. We found a cool mobile spay deal. He’s been wanting to hang out more in the house now and I haven’t noticed any spraying from him *crossing fingers*.

Sky got his picture in the paper here today. A photographer from the local paper noticed him playing in the water fountain at the park yesterday so she asked if she could photograph him. After Kari & I convinced him to stop doing his cheesy smile, she got some good shots and said it might make today’s paper. I told Mau to pick one up on his way home from work and I woke up to the paper laid out with the photo right there. Sky is completely excited so we went out and bought a couple more so I could send it to Grandpa and my sister. The park guys drove by us today wondering if we saw his picture was in the paper and asked him for his autograph…silly but Sky digged it.
