It's a hot and sunny tuesday in our little town. And suprisingly, no rain. At least, besides what must have been a small shower in the morning while we were tucked away in a dark, cool theater getting our penguin on.
There aren't a whole lot of kid things to do in our town. Our town is full of old retired people, golf courses and alligators. But every summer, the local theater plays dollar movies and it's the cool thing to do. today was happy feet. And despite a few unhappy moments in the movie, L did good. We met up with a few friends (new and old, yay!) and then spent the rest of the day being lazy again.
Still trying to kick the nasty mucus bug out of here. Which sucks.
But I'm also filling up our calendar with fun things and play dates finally. Which is pretty awesome.

Last week was pretty slow, which worked out nicely as we adjusted to being home again and unpacking. Paired with the rain we've spent a lot of time indoors playing with dolls & reading.
I recently finished the Beautiful Creatures series and this book. I'm starting this one now. Has anyone read it?
I finally caught up on The Bachelorette and while I'm not really into any of the guys in particular, the drama is entertaining! It's always crazy how much drama there can be between a group of guys.
This song has been on replay all week. L calls it the lalala song and she's pretty crazy about it.
We're still in the swing of summer and fully enjoying it but with talk lately of ballet classes & preschool for the babe, Fall is creeping into my heart and it may have me swooning just a bit. But to keep things real, we're still eating our weight in frozen yogurt cones every day.
Hello Apparel had an awesome sale over the fourth of July weekend and I snagged up the hello tank for L. I'm bummed that I ordered it a little too small but we love it so.
We had a family car wash the other night. Which turned into a toddler tricycle wash. Have you seen this fun DIY? Wouldn't it be fun for a play date?
And a few things I loved around the internet this week...
This piece on a semi-local bakery. I'm pretty to go visit soon.
I love this etsy shop for children's clothing. My favorites are 1 | 2 | 3.
Are you following The Everyday on bloglovin' yet? I made the switch with Google Reader being offically closed and I'm really liking it.
And the previews for this new comedy have me lauging out loud.
Today is going to be a super lazy day at our house. I'm trying to kick whatever has me feeling crummy and we're gearing up for a busy week. So, happy Monday xoxo
we're back home and we're quickly settling in, making lists and getting things done. New York was so good. we saw family & friends, did a lot of shopping and just kind of hung out. i wish i had taken more pictures. i took the big camera, but it only came out one morning at the bronx zoo. it seemed to rain every time we ventured into the city so i kind of stayed unplugged except for instagram. it's always good to know you were actually "there" when you look back but i really wanted to document the trip better.
we spent a day in long island seeing friends. it's been almost two years since we left and it still feels a little like home. i ran into some old co-workers shopping and we spent a good part of the day at ikea!
we spent a morning at the Bronx Zoo and got pretty personal with a friendly goat.

we took L to a quinceañera and after getting used to all the people and the loud music, she kind of loved it. we got caught in some serious rain while hanging out in the city and taking L to FAO Schwarz. we were soaked by the time we made it back to the train. we ate a lot of popsicles and ice cream bars because that's what you do in a heat wave. we went to a few family parties and watched the fireworks on TV. we're trader joe virgins, so of course we went to two of them. and we dreamed a little about making a life in the city.
we ate at this restaurant. if you are in the city, you should make reservations and eat there. m's uncle is the head chef and trust me, you won't be disappointed.
but mostly, we just relaxed as much as you can when staying on the go. we ate a lot of food we can't get here, we went to the movies, i made a dent in my stack of books and lia spent every minute she could with her cousins.
we were seriously grateful to get back home to the land of central a/c, dishwashers and our bed. i admit, we're kind of spoiled yuppies in those areas. still, New York has our hearts.
