1. I'm spending my 4th of July doing something I merely tolerate and something I love. I'm starting the day by running a 5K here in town. I figure I need to start the day exercising, in anticipation of all the food I plan to eat the rest of the day. I'll finish my 4th of July at the Ballpark in Arlington, watching my Texas Rangers take on the Rays. Fireworks will follow. The kids don't care for loud things, so they are staying home with Husband. I'm joining my parents, brother, sister and four nephews at the game. We will probably come close to melting with a predicted high of 103, but it is price I am more than willing to pay.
2. Remember how I complained about my baby girl not being snuggly? Well, that is slowly but surely changing. Of course, her timing is less than ideal at times. She likes to snuggle with me for about twenty minutes, in the middle of the night. While I love sweet baby snuggles, I do not love waking up in the middle of the night. But I guess I'll take what I can get.
3. I won something! Again! Erin at the Vintage Pearl hosted a week of giveaways last week and I entered several. And I actually won! I am getting an enameled necklace from her shop of the same name. I am so excited because I was going to put that on my birthday wish list, along with at least one other item from her store, and now I can put something else on the list. Yea!
4. Do not buy Kroger brand dishwasher soap. It is terrible. My dishes, especially utensils, are not getting clean at all. I usually use something until it is gone, but I will be buying new detergent next I am at the store. This stuff is just awful.
5. I have a tentative date for my friend to come over and get me started on sewing! I am beyond excited about this. Another friend of mine made the big girls some 4th of July dresses, and I want to learn how to make more. They are so cute (pictures next week) and can easily be worn over a long-sleeve shirt and leggings when it gets cooler. Also, I want to learn how to make a fabric necklace like this one at Joy's Hope.
6. Princess must be really tired, because this is her not twenty minutes ago. She crawled up in my bed and had a little Friday morning nap. Lucky girl.
7. Finally, this is just too cute not to share. The one time I got to scrape together the smallest little ponytail, Pebbles style, on Butterfly. Of course, you can't see it in the picture, but it was very cute.

I love the 4th of July fireworks at the Ballpark! They are my favorite!
Precious pictures!
And dishwasher is one thing that I will pay more than I'd like to...I DON'T buy generic. The best thing I've found is Finish Quantum Diamond...or something like that. I may have totally made that name up, but it's by far gives the best results out of all the generic and name brands I've tried!
I'm with you on the snuggling! As long as she goes back to sleep quickly and easily, I don't mind a midnight snuggle every one in a while from my baby girl. They get big so fast!
Are those REAL FABRIC KEDS with pink ribbon shoelaces??? Where did you find them (please don't tell me "three kids ago!") -- CUTE! The girl, not just the shoes!
OH I'm so jealous of the sewing thing. I have a friend who sews but she's about eight states away. Dang.
