July 4, 2022.
"Come on, Carly, the fireworks are about to start," Juliet motioned for the girl to come. She was 7 years old with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. She looked like a mini Carlton. Hence the name.
Shawn was spreading out a red, white, and blue blanket in their backyard. The blonde-haired boy appeared at the top of the hill, hiding behind Juliet, grabbing at her skirt. Juliet picked the 4 year old, Ryan, sitting him in her lap. His hazel eyes watched with excitement as the fireworks started. The other boy, Max, who had just turned 2, and looked exactly like Shawn, was hoisted up on Shawn's shoulder so he could get a better view of the exploding colors in the dark sky. Juliet smiled and pointed to the fireworks as they appeared.
"Dat's pwetty," Max noted, pointing up at a big green and yellow explosion that you could say looked like a pineapple.
"Is dat a pineapple, daddy?" Ryan asked, pointing to the sky.
"Most likely, yes. But it could be a lemon and a lime," Shawn told him.
"Or it could just be fireworks," Juliet remarked, as Carly giggled.
"Have some imagination, Jules," Shawn murmured, ignoring the death stare his wife was giving him.
After sitting there for fifteen more minutes, the fireworks seemed to die down.
"Where are the fireworks, mom?" Carly pocked her mom's waist.
"I don't know, swee-" Juliet was interrupted by a large boom, and all the kids jumped up and screamed.
"Calm down!" Shawn yelled, but couldn't help but laugh.
They watched as the fireworks ending, different shades of blues and reds electrocuting the sky.
"Can we pway tag?" Max asked Shawn, and he nodded.
They watched as the kids ran off, sprinting down the hill in their backyard.
Shawn could hear his daughter's voice scream from the bottom of the hill, "LABRADOODLE!"
The boys looked to where the dog should've been, and she sprinted up the hill, avoiding being tagged.
"Daddy, mommy! Come play!" Carly shouted at her parents.
"Whoa, sweetie. You're at the top of the hill. No need to scream. We're right here," Juliet informed her daughter.
"Pway!" Max demanded, pointing down towards the hill.
Shawn and Juliet looked at each other, as Shawn stood up and brushed off his jeans.
"Race ya to the bottom!" Shawn called, sprinting down the hill.
Juliet chuckled, following after her goofy husband.
After lots of screaming and laughter, the kids sprinted back up to the house to get a drink.
Shawn wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead, "We did good Jules."
"Yeah, Shawn, we did," Juliet smiled, leaning on her toes to kiss her husband.
"Ewww!" They turned to see the kids screaming from the window inside.
Shawn just laughed, taking his wife's hand as they walked through the back door.
