4th of July

For the 4th I took of an extra day and headed down to Lynnwood to hang out with Judy. We had a plan of "no-plan". We talked about shopping, scrapbooking, movies and bbq. Surprisingly we did all those things.
I took the train down Wednesday night which was nice because that meant I had all day Thursday to do nothing. Judy went to work and I hung around the house doing nothing. I didn't even get up to shower until 3:30. I thought it would be a good idea to be ready when Judy came home just in case we wanted to do something. We did! We met our friends Erica and Jon at Claim Jumpers for happy hour. Apple martinis plus good friends is always a good night. Then Judy and I headed over to the movie theater and our plan was to see whatever movie was playing soon. We choose the Happening. I liked it more than I thought I would. I was very disappointed with M. Night's The Village so I didn't have high hopes. It all turned out pretty well.
Friday we woke up and headed up to the Tulalip outlet mall for some shopping. They were having tons of 4th of July sales. Judy and I did pretty well at the shopping. I came away with three shirts, a tank top and a pair of jeans. Then we headed over to the Kohls that was there. Yes, I said Kohls. If any of you have been to a Kohls you know what I'm talking about when I say it is always crazy in there. Nothing is put away in its spot and most of the time everything is picked over. Not so in Marysville. Kohls actually looked like a regular store. Judy and I spent 2 hours in there and came away with some great deals. Judy found nice dress pants for FOUR DOLLARS! Can't beat that. We ventured home and prepared to bbq burgers and eat watermelon and drink daquiries. Here are a few pictures:

We hung out at home and watched the fireworks on tv and made sure the house didn't burn down with Judy's crazy neighbors setting off fireworks all over us. We also watched Vantage Point. If you haven't seen it you should see it.

Saturday we finally got going on our scrapbooking. Tim came up to join us. He worked on his laptop while we went to work making pages. We hit up the local scrapbook store and to the store where Tim came up with the idea to make cupcakes. They were super delicious.


The three of us went out for pizza. Judy and I went to the airport to pick up Joel from his week adventure in California.
Sunday Judy and I went to JoAnn's to purchase more scrapbooking supplies...you wouldn't believe how fast one goes through adhesive. Then it was off to see Wall-E with Beth and Tim.
What a great weekend! If only everyweekend could be a three day weekend. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Revolution day!
