---> 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!

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??"
Lance Armstrong
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
Don't you?
This afternoon, my mom and step dad are coming over to grill steaks and have an early birthday celebration with me and my loves...
*** yes, I turn 30 on thursday ***

Have a STUPENDOUS day sweet thangs...
xoxo,
Your almost 30 friend.
Maggie
