what can i say??? {insert lots of praise about the weather and the sun and mother nature blah blah blah.} but seriously! the forecast! it’s amazing! massachusetts, you back in my good graces you sexy thang you!
we’ve spent most of the last several days outside. at the end of the day, as my weary bones settle into bed, i’ve just felt more spent, a good spent, than the days we spend on the more house-bound side of things. we’ve walked, visited playgrounds, the beach… i bought a purely fun magazine (people magazine!) at the grocery checkout and sat in my sunny driveway reading it while he slept in his crib. it felt a little indulgent, i’ll admit. (is that sad? that reading a people magazine during nap time instead of doing something more constructive is indulgent? don’t answer that…….. YES.)
all that to say, it’s been a really good week. and mama’s tired.
PEOPLE!!!!! Yes. SO indulgent for this mother of three. I stare longingly at them every time I check out at the grocery store….
@mary beth, seriously! it was like a little devil/angel on my shoulder: don't do it! save your money! // do it! you never buy people!
and iiiiiiinto my cart went the magazine. it didn't take much convincing.
So….my only question is. Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant? Did they touch on that at ALL? Or is that totally a rumor?
confession: I'm super jealous of Parker's life. I mean, sunshine and parks and bike rides and naps?? any chance he's be up for a trade? I only have three finals this semester…
Oh man. A magazine in the sunshine? That sounds like the HEIGHT of luxury 'round these parts.
This weather really has been perfect lately- it's amazing!
This makes me want to clean out my car too. I mean I could do a decent job in like ten minutes, so why does it only happen like twice a year?
I remember the post where you gave Steve a bad time for shoveling snow in his slippers. Ummm…are you cleaning your car in your slippers? If not, cute shoes for cleaning!
so much goodness here!!
and for the record, i agree: nothing beats a clean car!!

oh gosh clean cars are THE BEST ever.

The weather's been crapaay down here in NC…which is weird. I think you stole our good weather?…

Love the random snapshot peak into your life. Sweet blog momma!
Did you already share what bike seat you recommend? It's finally warm enough up here in Northern California to bring the little guy along and there are SO many different kinds out there!!
@stephanie, we have a bell bike seat – i love it!
What programs you use to edit your photos? They're awesome!!!
@ximena, thank you! a lot of these are my iphone (w/ afterglow app) and otherwise, photoshop!
#8, my heart. Love little Parker's striped pants.
I love that B & W pic on the bike, it's stunning! looks like you guys have been having a lot of fun.
