Bargain shopping
I love, love, love a good deal. So when I heard that The Children's Place store was having their Monster Sale, I decided Monkey and I should check it out. Well, it was (as my dad would say) a large women's chest- a big bust. Nothing all that cute for all that cheap.
Conveniently, though, the Disney Store Outlet was right there and I thought we'd just pop in really quick. I don't usually find a whole lot there. Well, today was awesome! They had an additional 40% off of clearance and LOTS of stuff was on clearance. Here's what I got-
Mickey shirt- 2.99
Tigger light up shoes (Monkey needed new tennis shoes for Disneyland!)- 6.00
Mickey swim trunks-4.80
Matching rash guard UV protecting shirt-4.80
Matching hat- 3.60
Matching flip flops- 2.99
All of this for only 27.19! Yay!

Fourth of July
We had an awesome Fourth of July yesterday! As is tradition, we joined my aunt, uncle, and cousins at the parade in Boulder City for the parade in the morning. The parade is awesome! The first half is a typical small town parade- politicians, cheerleaders, and beauty queens. The second half of the parade is the best part. It's a HUGE water war. People on the floats have huge Super Soakers and water cannons and people in the crowd have water balloons and silly string.
Last year we brought just a few water balloons and Monkey happily threw them into the grass before the parade even started. This year we came prepared. Mamaw and I filled almost 100 balloons and brought down a huge cooler full. We had a blast! I learned a very important lesson, if you're going to throw a water balloon at a Marine, be absolutely sure that it will pop and that the big, scary Marine does not catch it and throw it back!
After the parade, we were invited over to my uncle's house for a BBQ. We ate WAY too much all day and went swimming. When it got dark we started fireworks. Again, Monkey was NOT happy with the loud ones and ended up inside with Mamaw. However, on the way home we parked and watched the big fireworks from one of the local casinos and he really liked them! That made me happy since I'm hosting a fireworks minimeet at Disneyland in two weeks!
Hope you all had a happy and safe Fourth!

Hop hop hop
We hit the Children's Museum again today for something to do. They have these tunnel things that are supposed to just be for toddlers (though we saw plenty of big kids and even a parent in them today!) and usually Monkey won't go anywhere near them. He got brave today and ventured in...and had a great time! He would climb up then down then hop, hop, hop to get back to the entrance. He and another boy did it over and over and over together! And now he's exhausted and taking a late nap!
Toddler Pictionary Round 1
Monkey has been really into drawing lately and is starting to make things that are semi-kinda-sorta recognizable. So I thought it would be fun to post one of his creations and ask you, my dear readers, to tell me what you see. Check back tomorrow to find out what my little Picasso created!

Fourth of July preview
We bought a few fireworks today since Daddy will be working on Fourth of July (don't be sad for him- he'll be working security on the pool deck at his casino, he's excited to spend the day around all the bikinis ) and we wanted to see what Monkey thought of them.
Well, he liked watching the sparklers and the little fountains that didn't make any noise but HATED the screechers and the poppers. He asked Mamaw to "go home" because he wanted to be inside of the house. Not sure what we'll do Saturday night now...
