checking in

Our fourth of July was nice and relaxing. We did go in the pool. The heat wasn't as bad as it has been, so that was nice. The fireworks started way too early. Poor Frankie was so upset. My mil came over for bbq'd hot dogs and root beer floats. We can see a small fireworks show from our front yard. Robert, his mom and Harrison sat outside, while I sat inside trying to calm Frankie down, and Charlie stayed inside too. He doesn't like the noise either. I really thought Frankie would have relaxed a little because he and Vegas did the most swimming that day. Just look at Vegas jump!

I finally managed to get a couple of more rows sewed onto Harrison's quilt. I just might get this done! Actually, I have no idea what to do with it when the rows are completed. That is phase two.

By far the most exciting thing for me is that I found a quilt for our bed. I had to admit that if I ever sewed a quilt for our bed it wouldn't be for a very long time. So, this morning I was paging through the Target ad when I noticed this quilt. Remember we (Robert) painted our bedroom? I thought this quilt would match, so I showed it to Robert and I nearly fainted when he said he liked it. I seriously have brought home 3? different comforters only to take them all back. After a trip to Downtown Disney to pick up a couple of Legos for Charlie's upcoming 5th! birthday, my sister niece and I headed over to Target. I also got the cute pillows there too. Yay! It's the little things, right? Totally.

The boys start swimming lessons tomorrow. Wish us luck. ;)

Oh - that quilt you're making is so cute, Jenny. Great fabric...

Finding new bedding is one of life's great challenges, I believe. You did good. Thank goodness for Target, eh?
