Saturday, July 3rd
We had the car show...it was a gorgeous day! We couldn't have asked for it to be better: The sun was out, it was in the 80s and not a smitch of humidity. Matt left for work around 7:30, and Ave and I went over to the fairgrounds around 11:30 after she had a good morning nap. We stayed over there until 10:30, after the fireworks.
MIL spent the day down there to help with A so I could work and if A needed me to lend an extra pair of hands. A was so good all day...grandma took her for a couple of walks, went and listened to the music, and just spent the day playing.
I wanted to stay and see the fireworks, but I didn't know how they would go over. A was completely cool with them. I held her and had her ears covered (the noise bothered her a bit), but she watched and loved the fireworks. We came home had a bath (the DIRTIEST bathwater I have ever seen...just imagine...crawling around all day and sitting near a greasy, smell concession stand)...then went to bed.
I had hoped that she would stay out until at least the early morning...nope (she's back to her terrible sleeping): We were up at 1:30, 3:00, 5:15, 5:30, 6:15 and up for the day at 7:30. Of course mommy was EXHAUSTED (I did work 10 hours the day before).
In the morning Grandma came and got A and took her to church and up to their house in the morning so that I could wash the truckload of nasty dishes. Just imagine the worst baked on, caked on, greasiest, nastiest mess...I had a truckload of them. It took me about 3 hours, then I headed over to the fairgrounds to finish tearing down over there.
In the afternoon I went up to my ILs' to see A, we were all heading to Matt's grandparents "Brook Party" in the afternoon. A was napping so MIL and I sat on the couch watching DIY network and eating chocolate cake.
We took A swimming in the pond....this was the first time that Daddy was witness or partaking in the swimming. I had bought a little swim thing for A to sit in, but I think the water was too cold where her feet were, because she hated it.
In the evening we came home, had a bath, and went to bed.

Today was the painters last day. I don't have pictures yet, because there are some decorating things I want to do before I can say it's done.
In the afternoon we went to my mom's friend's house to swim in their pool. It seems that A would rather you just hold her while in the water, rather than sit in something.

I ordered a camera....I had it with mine. I've been rather ticked. At one point the camera was down to $750 on Amazon.com and I figured that was the new price and held off on buying it until I had saved up more money. Well, I went back to look at it again and it was back up to $850: WHAT?!
Yesterday I played around with different companies and prices and had convinced myself I was OK with buying a refurbished camera from Ador.ama.com...they also had a 6 months free financing deal. So I put the order through. I went back to Amazon.com to order stuff for my sister and niece's birthdays, and there was a thing about 12 months free financing on the camera (it was still in the cart).
So I canceled the original order, and ordered the NEW camera through amazon.com, plus I have 12 months to pay it off (which I'll have it paid off by the end of the summer).
Hopefully it will be here before the weekend.
I hope you all are staying cool, or as cool as you can.
