Happy Fourth of July: Part 1

This weekend has been pretty good!  Friday morning Gabe helped me make muffins for breakfast, cupcakes for a BBQ we were going to on Saturday and played real well till Xa showed up later that evening.  I took the boys to the Granite City carnival that night with my good friend, Pam.  The boys had a blast and even though we stayed till 10PM they didn't fall asleep on the way home.  They also didn't sleep in on Saturday either....






Saturday after a great pancake breakfast we played in the yard and made hand print eagles.  Then Mom and I checked out a new craft/antique store in Fairview.  I found two great end tables that match my antique dresser in our guest room and they were only $24 a piece!  A great buy!  I was so excited to get them!  Saturday night we headed over to a friends BBQ and to watch their fireworks.  It was so hot and miserable.  Gabe sat pretty well for the fireworks for the first 5 minutes or so but once they really started to go off all together he said it was time to go home.  So, me, Dad, The Boy and Sissy enjoyed the display from the van while watching the Backyardigans.  It was a good night.
