Happy 4th!

We have quite a lot to report! Hope everyone had a great holiday. We sure did. We started a bit early on Friday night with some sparklers (pink, of course!)

We spent Saturday with our great neighbors and Mimi. We went to the McKinney parade in downtown with both next-door-neighbors, Cole and his mom and Jocelyn and her parents (some of Jilian's best friends).

I got a little crafty and made some fun 4th of July pins and wands....they were fun (even if no one noticed!) :)

Then, we went to see fireworks that night. The kids had so much fun!So, I discovered this new store called Charming Charlie. Hello? This is the BEST JEWELRY STORE, EVER! It's even better than Sam Moon. It's more of an upscale Sam Moon, but with the same prices. AND, the whole store is COLOR COORDINATED!

Some of my finds.... and I only spent about 40 bucks!

Today, we went to First Monday in Canton. Okay, so the best time to go to First Monday is the Sunday after Independence day at 8 o'clock in the morning. The weather was great (didn't get too hot until about 1, on our way out) and it wasn't packed AT ALL. There was hardly anyone there. And, the vendors that didn't want to take much home, started slashing prices. We got some GOOD deals. Here are some of my finds....

One more brag alert....Jilian put this whole puzzle of 24 pieces together BY HERSELF!

Well, wish Jilian and I good luck! Brad left for his first trip with his new job tonight and doesn't come back until Wednesday afternoon. AND, Jilian starts her new school tomorrow! She is so excited! Keep ya' posted....
