catching up

well, we had a pretty busy weekend. Saturday I went to the Fishers Freedom Festival with Grandma, Amy, Mark, Luke, Brock, Bailey, Cassie, and Carter. We had a really nice day. It started out a little rocky because we couldn't get Carter to settle down (it was his nap time) and it started pouring down rain. We found shelter under a tent and ate lunch. Once it stopped we got up and walked around and Carter finally gave in to the sleeping fairy in his stroller. Mark took the kids to do a rock climb and the girls (and Carter) went shopping! We got an adorable Colt's shirt for Carter, a "taggie" blanket for him, and I got a mom's bracelet. I had been wanting one for awhile and I finally got it! It is sooo pretty with Carter's name on it and a 'Mom' charm. Amy pointed out that it should say "Mama" though. :)

I was really exhausted when we got home and I wanted to take a nap so badly- but of course, that didn't happen. We went and grabbed dinner at Wendy's and Chad and Bailey went to buy fireworks. We had a firework show that night (didn't wake Carter, yay!) and then we all went to bed. Had to get up early for mass. Sunday was our usual- mass, grocery shopping, wonderful food at my mom's.

I am looking forward to the rest of this week- Chad will have ALL WEEKEND OFF!! WOOHOO!!!! I miss that man when he is gone! :)

I love the 4th of July- good food, good drink, good company.

Oh- I am getting my haircut next Monday! Stay tuned!
