Sorry it's late

but here are some of our Fourth of July pictures. We traveled up to Yankee Meadows, complete with picnic and Harry Potter books( I had to get ready for the final one coming out this Saturday :) ) and spread out our blanket. The day was beautiful. Not too hot up in the mountains and not too many people there either. Tyson mostly had fun playing in the dirt. He is not a crawler. Has never been interested in that, but if he can get a mouthful of dirt, he's gonna find a way to get there. Now, he just walks along all of the walls and furniture. He just isn't brave enough to let go yet.









When Allie and Derek came down, she took some fabulous pictures of us. thanks girl!

I realized today that I am a little out of control.

I have an obsessive personality. I have accepted this fact. I'm not creepy in that I'm going to stalk someone or anything, but I seem to be an all-or-nothing kind of a girl. I can scrapbook all day long for a week straight no problem. Then I can read book after book after book. Watch the same movie over and over. Crazy I know. I love sateen stripes on just about anything. I can't seem to buy enough bowls for the kitchen.
I think Allie had a post on OCD-ish-ness. I feel I have to add to that. You might remember my post of my new mouse pad and paper pad. I love the pattern.

LOVE.

As I was wandering my house this morning I decided I might just love it a little too much. I think it might be the damask pattern. I'm not sure if all these things fit into the category. Maybe one of you know more about decorating patterns and can clue me in, but when I see something that fits into this basic theme I go a little nutso. Doesn't have to be any specific color. I'll take them all, thanks. I think I'll let the pictures do the talking.


Allie had this bag first. When I saw it, I knew I had to have one as well. I could not resist.












Super cute blank notecard.




Fabric for throw pillows. Not this pink in real life. More like red.


As though this wasn't enough. Check out these things I am dying to get!

Bedding
Packing Tape
Not your grandma's ziploc bag

Tyson's World

Tyson says "hello people".


"Boy, these dishtowels just keep comin' and comin'. "


"Not sure that I like being out here in the grass with daddy sleeping and not paying any attention to me."


"Oooo, I think I hear a motorcycle"

"I like to smile with my teeth all askew. Sorry parents, a lot of orthodontal appointments await us."


"Mommy, the grass is hurting my legs!"

" I just can't seem to get comfortable"


"Daddy always makes everything better."
