The 4th

We had a little 4th of July Bbq at our house (with everyone who didn't go to the Stadium of Fire). We watched the fireworks at the local park, then pulled out the projector at our house for some Guitar Hero while the kids watched Disney movies in our room.

Yes we're wearing matching T-shirts! (It was a Walmart $3 special), woo.

Which of these things does not belong in this picture? That would be Madison in the bottom right hand corner up WAY past her bedtime.

Weekend at the Cabin

Our good friends, the Pacini's invited us to a no kids-couple's weekend in their wonderful cabin. When someone says they have a "cabin" I never know what to expect as that word can describe such a variety of accomadations. I went expecting zero electricity and lots of mice but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived to large comfy beds for everyone, a big screen tv and a Nintendo Wii; now that's my kind of cabin!

I was also happy to discover our friend Jamie is a night owl like myself as we were the last ones up talking until about 3 a.m.

It was also my first night I've spent away from my daughter and I have to admit I had to fight back tears leaving her at my sister's but I knew she was safe and we had a great time; it was actually really relaxing. (Thank you Cherie for watching her and Sammy!)
