Independence Day!

We had an easy going weekend. I had off work yesterday, so it was made even better with an extra day off work. My family and Justin’s family were at the beach (opposite coasts in FL) so it was just us and my sister’s boyfriend left to hold down the fort. That also meant that we got to keep Sadie, my in-law’s shih-tzu for the weekend. She has been so fun! For those of you who don’t know, Justin and I have a 165-pound Great Dane and little Sadie can’t weigh five pounds. We were afraid Skie would step on her, but they did great together. I snapped these shots on Sunday.

       

How about those bright red nails? I clipped Skie’s nails last week and saw my nail polish sitting on the coffee table and thought “Why not?” She sat so still!

Now the cat—notsomuch. He didn’t like Sadie and tried not to get too close to her over the weekend. I did manage to snap one shot of the three of them close to each other—I’m like the crazy animal person. They like to pile up around me.

Sunday night, we picked up a “fireworks” assortment in W@L*Mart-anything bigger than a fountain is illegal in Georgia, but hey, we make do.

Yes, we did it the redneck way off the back of the pickup truck :) I didn’t get any great shots of the fireworks going off, but I did figure out the exposure timer on my digital camera and got these cute shots with sparklers (which are just as good as real fireworks if you ask me!). Justin was such a great sport!

What I love about MY south: Colloquialisms

He’s busier than a one-legged man at a butt kickin contest!

Don’t you pee on my leg and tell me it’s rainin’!

She could make a preacher cuss!

You’ve got champagne taste with a beer pocketbook.

He doesn’t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out.

It’s raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock.

My husband’s favorite: He’s grinning like a jackass eating briars or a possum eating a lemon.

I love Room It Up! They are a great company with tons of cute accessories in lots of cute prints. Here are some of my favorites:

 

Although I am very partial to the Bright Bloom print, they have so many other cute styles too!

Fourth Friday in Ashburn

We had our very first “Fourth Friday” event in Ashburn tonight and I have to say, it was a BLAST! I didn’t take any pictures of the farmers’ market or the singers, but I do have some wild and crazy pics from the scavenger hunt! We even found the elusive Elvis bust! We found everything on our list, but another team finished before we did :( It was a great night! Suzi, Sami, Zack, and I were a pretty impressive team (if you ask me).

 

Our city workers did an awesome job getting our new park ready for tonight! A few weeks ago, this was just an empty lot where an old building fell in during a tornado. It is so cute!
