Speaking of being thrifty... 4th of July was the perfect chance to wear my blue and white striped shorts. I scored this Banana Republic shorts for $2.00 at the thrift store when I was pregnant. I was excited to pair them with a fun red top for the perfect 4th of July outfit. Thrifty and fashionable! :)

The 4th and Fashion
Yesterday, we celebrated our first 4th of July as a family of 4. The day started off with a "bang" when our AC went out upstairs at about midnight. Julianna woke up around 1:30am and never went back to sleep. Olivia slept as usual but Josh and I took turns with Julianna. I ended up on the couch watching Nick Jr. with her. She finally crashed for a nap around noon and I woke up up around 3pm. She wasn't happy with me this time! We ventured out to the Goodwill. I haven't been thrifting since before Olivia was born so I was very excited. We only stayed for about 15 minutes but I still managed to find 5 items that I loved. I'll show those off in another post. We also got Julianna a bag of Mega Blocks... I'm not sure who loved those more- her or Josh! We picked up a few items from the grocery store and went back home for a little cookout. We grilled ranch turkey burgers and also had potato salad, baked beans, and sweet potato fries. Delicious- and Julianna even ate! We had planned on having strawberry shortcake for dessert but we were all so full. I think that would be good for breakfast! Josh bought a few fireworks to shoot off with the neighbors. We thought Julianna would love them. We were wrong. She was okay with the idea at first but then we gave her a sparkler and she immediately grabbed the "sparkler end" instead of the stick. It happened too fast for us to stop her. A little burn later and she was completely scared and done with fireworks. She screamed and cried for 5 minutes so I took her instead for bathing and consoling. Oh well! We'll try again next year and maybe Olivia can join us instead of snoozing!
