Dirty 30, Puppy Party, and Color Run

I think the hubby's "dirty 30" surprise bbq was a success. (A grill fire only adds to the excitement, right?) I kid... 

Sunday was another barbeque--hosted by a few friends of ours. This summer barbeque also served as a birthday party for their sweet pup Shayna.

Thursday, the hubby and I ventured downtown to Lolita's Cocina Tequila Bar for what was deemed "dinner for 2." Between the complementary palette cleanser (tequila-soaked) grapefruit, chips and choices of salsa, two primeros, one taco, one side, one entree, a decadent dessert, and pop rocks cotton candy, we could have had dinner for 3 or 4! Mmmm...

Hoping this bout of poison ivy ends soon. Yuck!

Hard to believe Monday starts Week 6 (!) of camp. August is near!

'Twas the night before Color Run, when all through the house, a pink tutu was hung, ready to run. 

"Dirty 30" party pictures and TPT item update coming next!

The Freebies Keep Coming!

I'm pleased with the response I've had at my new TeachersPayTeachers shop.

As things start to die down later this month, I hope to explore more fonts and clip art to jazz up a few activities I have created.

For now, check out 8 days worth of freebies at my shop. 

We ran our first 10k Tuesday night and while it was a scorcher and awfully tough running after work, the fact that we got to finish at the 50 yard line of Gillette Stadium was pretty neat.

We spent the fourth on a Boston Harbor Cruise checking out the Tall Ships and bbqing. Thursday, as part of CWW's Cupcake Club, we made Cookie Monster cupcakes--one of my all-time favorites now. That night I met a great friend from BC in Plymouth for dinner and we had great dinner and great conversation catching up.  

Friday night I baked for a friend's luau-themed housewarming party.

Saturday we hosted a post-July 4th bbq. The pups had a ball--all five of them! 

Today we ran a few errands in the morning and Leah and I ventured to Houghton's Pond in the afternoon. Sun and sand...What a weekend! :)

Week 3 of camp starts tomorrow and with it comes a week consisting of a beach walk/puppy date, $5 movie with some teacher friends, girls dinner, qt with the hubs, dinner/drinks downtown, and the Food Truck Festival on Saturday. Yayy!

A Freebie a Day in July!
