like lance armstrong.

Good Sunday morning love bugs!

---> these color combinations made me SMILE!

~yesterday was magnificent!!!

i can't help but share with you ....

:)

(hope your day was GrrrrrEaT too!)

So, I started out my morning at an Early Childhood garage sale, and scored 3 large bags worth of loot for Miss Thang! 

AND... at one of the tables, there was a mommy holding a BRAND NEW baby boy.. we were both looking for treasures  and I could see she was struggling... holding a new lump of love (with gobs of hair) and trying to find clothes for him, so I did what any normal person would do (or maybe just me) and said, "If you want me to hold him so you can look... I am completely harmless!"

:)

"I do daycare and love babies and know exactly how you feel!  I was just lucky enough to leave my little chickie at home with her dad!"

and wadda ya know... I got to snuggle the little babe so she could shop!

he smelled delicious in all of his new baby glory!

thank you sweet stranger for letting me help you!

:)

amen.

**********************************************************

After the sale, I went and got a LARGE diet coke on ice at the gas station

 (it's the little things in life I tell you!)

and then made my way to Target... where i hit up a major pillow sale rack!!!!!

OMG!

all of them are in the camper

- as comfy throw pillows

- to snooze on

- to read on  (i cannot wait for this one!)

- to be lazy on

:)

I can hardly wait!

After I got home I cleaned the camper within an inch of it's little life and put up some cute decor...

(like I said.. it's the little things in life)

(cue BIG SMILES!)

:)

*** pictures of camper coming soon!

our first camping trip is Mother's Day weekend!!!!! 

***********************************************************

after rests all around, we loaded up the bikes and burley and headed out to bike!

there is a little town, about 20 miles away that has a state park, trails, a sandy beach, and most importantly a darling drive in eatery!  where you can sit outside and eat delicious food!!!

---> but only after you bike! (at least that's what my husband says)

so.....

we biked.

it was 75 degrees and glorious out!

(source)

and I forgot my camera. seriously!

:(

boooooooooooooooooooooooo...

we had SO MUCH FUN!

i pulled josie in the burley, and brian had the dog on a leash and basically didn't even have to pedal... bailey ran like the wind!

we are quite a sight.

today, my legs are like soft, melted butter.

trying to bike UP HILL with a 33 pound darling daughter in a burley is no easy task,

and at one point i yelled,

"UGH!  How does Lance Armstrong do it??"

pretty much had to walk my bike up the hills.

josie was in her burley, with a little clipboard and notebook and pen pretending to be a waitress and asked me about a zillion times "Whatcha want mom?" so i would huff, and puff, and place my order.

for reals.

there will be no Tour De France in my future.

sorry lance.

HOWEVER.. the supper we ate outside was AMAZING!!!!!

:)

seeing bailey swim in a lake for the first time was also pretty priceless!

{this just in: do not throw a stick into the water for dog to fetch, if it's a heavy stick and is bound to sink... the dog will become confused. ** sorry 'bout that bailey!}

I love family days!!!

<3
