Logan this year at the 4th of July parade
Logan last year at the 4th of July Parade (I can't believe how much he has grown)
On a side note, I live about 15 minutes from the outlet mall, so I decided to go out there and walk around this morning. I was disappointed to find out that the Williams Sonoma outlet had went out, until I found out they replaced it with Pottery Barn Kids. Folks this could be dangerous. I did a little damage in there this morning, they were having some good sales!

Watching the Fireman's Parade with my mom
It is amazing how entertaining balloons can be!
Waiting for our funnel cake (who would ever think Logan would have to wear a jacket on the 4th of July)

I had a great 4th of July weekend. It began for me on Thursday. My hometown always has a three day festival over the 4th, so the plan was to take Logan on Thursday. The evening began with the parade. We were afraid it was going to be cancelled due to rain, but the rain stopped and it turned out to be a great evening. It was a fireman's parade, so there were lots of fire trucks and Logan loved it. After the parade, we headed uptown to check out the festival. We spent about 2 hours walking around. Logan loved seeing all the people and kept waving and telling them hi! Later we found a bench and enjoyed some junk food. I think we have a junk food junkie on our hands. He loved the french fries and funnel cake. By nine o'clock Logan was done with the festival so we headed home.
On Friday, I was up early to help with my brother's garage sale. I had taken some stuff down and they were getting rid of Logan's 0-12 months clothes. It was sad taking a trip down memory lane looking through the outfits. Friday night we headed back up to the festival. Julianne Hough was the evening concert. Logan was not impressed maybe it was because it was his bedtime.
I spent the day Saturday relaxing and working on some scrapbooks. Nothing exciting, but nice after two busy days. I happy that this week looks pretty quiet too.
Just a quick post to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July. I will post later about the holiday happenings!
So I have been a little (I stress the word little) crafty this week. I have a Cricut machine but I have never used it with vinyl. So I made a trip to Walmart purchased the vinyl and some containers. Oh the possibilities, I love personalized stuff, so this only fuels my passion. I have completed one bucket, we will call it my trial bucket and for the most part I am pleased (only a few small wrinkles).
Second project of the week, gift card holders. I found these little purses on this website http://www.scrap-a-little.com/. So I printed out the templates and set out to working on this. The one I made was an experiment and I want to use 2 papers on the next one.
I am excited about my little accomplishments. This is coming from the girl, who got a C in art, and I think that was because the teacher took pity on me. I was also the person, who said a few years ago that why would I take the time to make things when I can buy them. Times change!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday weekend. I am headed down to my parent's to help with their garage sale(we are selling all of Logan's 0-12 month clothes, plus more). My hometown also has a festival and parade, so I am planning on taking Logan to those. Hopefully I will have lots of new pictures to share when I get back!
