Happy 4th of July!

Whew! It's been a fun filled weekend! For some reason, I didnt think we had much going on this weekend. However, it was packed with all kinds of fun!
Friday started out with a fun play date at the pool with Caroline and Lauren! Jack is quite the ladies man! Then Jack napped at Lauren's house while I went to get supplies for the 1st annual 4th of July parade in our neighborhood! Jack and Lauren were going to ride together in a wagon since Steven would be driving the pace car to lead the parade and I would be taking pictures (I know...shocker that I would be taking pictures!) We were pretty impressed with the wagon when we got done! It was very cute!!! The kids got up from naps and went running to get in the wagon! They at least got some practice for the next day!
Friday night, Poppa came down and went out for pizza with Jack and I! It was a great night and Jack was MORE than thrilled to see Poppa. He even woke up Saturday morning calling out for Poppa in hopes that he was still around!
Saturday was the parade and it was SOOO much fun! We had a great turn out and all the kids looked so cute! I am so happy it worked out to start a fun new tradition! Jack and Lauren even won Best Decorated Wagon! We were so proud! The kids had popsicles and watermelon in the cul-de-sac after the parade! Most of us headed to the pool to play and eat lunch! It was nap time...but not for me and Daddy! We headed off to the Fox to see Phantom of the Opera while Jack napped at his buddy's house! The show was great and we were so happy to get offered tickets (FREE!)! We came home and got Jack and headed to an annual 4th of July party in the neighborhood! Jack jumped for 2 staight hours on the trampoline or bouncy house. He must have been worn out! However, he was not as thrilled with the BIG slip n'slide this year. Last year he LOVED it. Not so much this year.... jumping was his preference!
Today we went to church and out to lunch! Daddy steam cleaned the carpets and I headed out with some friends to run errands and look at fun craft stuff! When I got home and Jack got up we headed to friends' house to make a low country boil! It was a FANTASTIC way to end the weekend! The food was delicious and I even made a semi-crafty dessert! Star shaped sugar biscuits with blueberres, strawberries and ice cream! It was very patriotic looking and very tasty (Thank you Southern Living magazine this month!)

It was a great happy weekend!!!! (And I know I said I wouldnt update again...but Jack is continuing to wear big boy underwear everyday with no accidents! He is doing so great!!!!!!!!!!!!)
