Remember, Remember, The 5th Of November...

It's Guy Faukes Night - also known as Bonfire Night here in the UK.

And although you'll hear fireworks going off every night this week, nothing really compares to the noise on the day itself - the 5th. From 5pm onwards, you can hear fireworks pretty much every couple of minutes round here.

Initial reaction to fireworks next door.
This year our next door neighbours are having a bonfire. Granted, they're actually burning the wood from their daughter's old wendy house to save them taking it to the dump, but it's a good idea nonetheless. We're not big on Bonfire Night in this house, I personally think the girls are too young to appreciate fireworks in their own back garden and Daddy and I just aren't bothered about them!
But this year, the girls have their very FIRST sparklers.

Daddy stayed close to help hold and dispose of the sparklers when they burnt down.

I only bought a pack of 10 gold sparklers, not sure how the girls (especially E.M) would react.

But I had a feeling J.R would enjoy them- Look at her go!

They loved them, and were practically fighting over the last one - even if i'd bought twice as many there still wouldn't have been enough!
