While the temps seemed to cool down just slightly from earlier in the week, it was still a miserably HOT weekend! Friday evening we went over to some friends' house for a BBQ. Most of the group continued the evening with our community fireworks display, but we headed home with Elyse so she could get to bed. Recently she has started to turn into a pumpkin aka unhappy girl aka crying monster about 8 to 8:15...mainly because our girl is ready for bed! So we called it a night and headed home.

| Happy, ticklish baby girl! |
Saturday morning I was scheduled for a morning of pampering. Nick had purchased a pretty substantial spa package as my "push" present & I was finally able to find 5-6 hours when I could put it to good use. I spent the entire morning and some of the early afternoon having an aromatherapy bath, facial, massage, lunch, & a spa pedi/mani. Let me tell you...IT WAS GLORIOUS!!! I came home just in time to feed Elyse and then after a bit of playtime we headed out for a quick dinner at one of our favorite local Mexican places, Maria's. It was delicious & Elyse always does so well when we're eating out!

Sunday we went to church & heard a powerful message on criticizing and how it can tear down everyone around you...talk about convicting! We grabbed some sandwiches for lunch & then headed down for some pool time. So thankful to have a family pool practically in our backyard that we can use ANY time!

And finally after we became all pruny & water-logged we headed out for the annual fireworks shopping excursion. Nick & my dad might enjoy fireworks just a little too much & we left with the back of my dad's suburban packed to the brim with fountains, rockets, sparklers, artillery shells, gian 500 gram cakes, & a huge fire hazard! We're still undecided as to whether we'll shoot everything off tomorrow...it's just been so hot & dry that we might postpone until we have a little bit of rain! Either way we'll have a fabulous day tomorrow!
