July Weekends

This is going to be one long post so I can catch up on a couple of fun weekends this month!

Saturday, July 9, We (mom, dad, clifton, me , and  macy) all went to Hickory to look at a couple of houses that were for sale on the lake.  We didnt really like where they were though.  Then we went to eat at Red Lobster.  I had been wanting to get the 4 course meal deal for $15.  Well , me and mama got the habanero coconut shrimp bites and grilled citrus shrimp as our entree. 

Looks good right?  WRONG! It was not good!  The coconut shrimp was so sweet and tasted like suntan lotion. It was covered in what looked like marmalade..it was so gross. The citrus shrimp did not taste right and wasn't citrusy at all.  The soup, salad, and dessert however, were good.  After that, we went to Once Upon a Child.  A ton of their clothes were on clearance for $1!  I got Macy 15 outfits for $15! Some were boutique brands and some were Carter's and Gymboree.  Mama got Macy an exersaucer for her house for $25. 

Here's a pic of Macy and Clifton outside of Red Lobster:

And here we are that night at home:

Here is Macy in her exersaucer on July 13th:

And here she is on July 14th in one of her new dresses that I got for a dollar!   I also want to add that this was the night she put herself to sleep in her crib for the first time and slept from 10:30 until 5:30!

Saturday, July 16th- 

     Me, Clifton, Macy, Mama, and Justin all went to Gaffney to shop and eat at Cracker Barrel.  I wanted to go to The Children's Place because I had a coupon for 25% off my whole purchase.  I got Macy some stuff at Oshkosh, Carter's, and CP.  It felt so good outside! It had been in the 90s for so long that upper 70s felt a little cool.  Clifton and Justin pushed Macy in stroller while me and mama shopped.  She slept mostly.  They said everybody was stopping to look at her and calling her "miss diva" and "miss hollywood". hmmm I wonder why...

  After we finished shopping, Justin's friend Justin met us at Cracker Barrel.   Me and mama got the bbq chicken special and the justins got the brisket special. Clifton got chicken and dumplins of course.

"Hey, give me some of that sweet tea!"

 

 After we left, we went thru DQ and got some treats!  After we got home, I got Alex's bday gift ready and we went over to the greenhouse to see him and Ryan.   Poppy was holding Macy and letting her touch the flowers. She was doing this thing where she would shiver after she touched one, it was so funny!   She went to sleep almost as soon as we got home and slept in her crib until 5:30... 8 hours...which was the longest yet! 

                                                 "Like my new hat?"
Sunday July 17-

   
Clifton decided he felt good enough to go to church. I stayed home with Macy though because we were going to go with mama to see nana.  Me , Mama, Macy and Justin all decided we were going to go eat mexican for lunch.  Clifton sees us going in on his way back so he joins us (he had already eaten lunch ).  We go in and see that the Heffrons are there.  Casey was excited to see Macy. (Casey is getting married August 6th!)

  When Clifton was holding Macy on his lap she started grabbing his styrofoam cup and trying to drink out of the straw!  I dont know how she knew how to do that. Then she pulled the straw out and stuck it in her mouth.

After we were finished eating, Justin left to go play basketball and Clifton went home.  Me, Mama, and Macy went to see Nana. When we got there , she was playing bingo so we sat in and watched.  Everybody went crazy over Macy.  Here's the only pic I took while we were there:

    After we left there I went by McDonalds and got me and mama a rolo mcflurry (yum!) and clifton an oreo one.  When we got home Macy really needed a nap, so I got her to sleep and she slept almost 2 hours!  I did laundry and cleaned up while she slept.  That night we watched our fave show Food Network Star.  Macy went to bed about 9:45 and slept in her crib til 12:50 a.m., but then she slept pretty good after that.

Friday, July 22- Took Macy swimming...she was about to fall asleep, but she soon figured out how to splash and loved it!

Saturday July 23- Went to Carolina Cafe to eat and then swimming again. Macy slept thru the night from 10 to 6:15!! 

                                       "That was some good killer shrimp!"

Sunday July 24- She slept thru the night again (9:45 to 6:30) and I had to wake her up to nurse before I got ready for work!   



Just now getting this post published..oops.  One more weekend and we will be caught up to the present!
