An Impromptu Date

 I followed Josh to class this morning and then to work,

where we were surprised to realize a miss communication

that resulted in Josh having the afternoon off.

Yippee!

As we were making our way home 

we laughed at the name of this cafe 

(the fangs! the fangs! ;))

and then decided to stop and check it out.

We were delighted when we found

many vegan pastries

(Highly recommend the ginger coffee cake! So good)

and our iced coffee was perfect.

I'm hoping we go back soon (:

Enjoy your labor day weekend!!

Here we go again!

School started yesterday for this handsome man,

so bring on the 19 credits, gazillion books, and grad classes!

The Weekend (on a Tuesday :))

We went festivaling, yard saleing, birthday partying,

puppet showing, swimming, and exploring.

Just not camping like we planned...

oh well (:

There were so many beautiful surprises this weekend,

the impromptu dance party at the music festival,

the puppet show we took the boys to, treasures at yard sales

(vintage cameras and vases and excellent records!) 

special deals for a chiropractor (yippee!)

a heatwave chasing away the winds of fall,

an unplanned trip to the pool,

and a blueberry muffin from a vegan bakery.

It definitely made up for canceled plans due to some 

sad unforeseen things.

The weekend was so full and so much fun,

it was the perfect way to officially end our summer.

and that blueberry muffin was reeeally good (;

So happy Tuesday!

We're having a MAJOR heatwave over here,

all the fans are out and clothing is minimal.

Popsicles and pool days galore!

Movies In The Square

Our neighborhood every Wednesday

night has a movie playing on the square.

We love it (:

We usually only stay for an hour or so

(at that point our bums start to fall asleep :P)

but its so much fun to sit and meet more neighbors

and watch random movies we've never heard of.

Next month they're playing silent films

and having local musicians come and play accompaniment!

 I am SO excited!

Josh will be in a night class every Wednesday night (boo!)

so if you find yourself free you should definitely come join me (:

picnicking

Yesterday husband surprised me by coming home early and 

whisking me off to the beach.

We stopped to pick up Thai and sell our chess board 

(we never play and we'd rather have the $$ for adventures :))

and then decided to sit and wistfully watch boats instead

of trekking further to the beach.

Soaking up the last days of summer...

Sometimes

Sometimes I check Instagram way too many times in one day
Sometimes I like waking early if only to see the beauty of the morning

Sometimes I eat way more mango sorbet than what the serving size says

Sometimes I count down the minutes until I see husband next
Sometimes I think maybe I should wear shoes other than my one favorite pair
Sometimes I really really wish I could sing
Sometimes I eat popcorn for dinner
Sometimes I forgot I'm in my mid twenties and hence an adult
Sometime I don't blog much and then I blog a lot apparently....

Hope your weekend was grand!

Josh was working nights this weekend 

(covering for a friend)

so ours was spent mostly sleeping.

We also stopped by our local record store

and didn't recognize but maybe 7 artists....

we felt very very young.

Then Josh bought two whole boxes filled with old records at a yard sale 

for only $15! We only know 5 of the artists but

we have dreams of winter evenings listening

to records refining our musical taste (:

I felt like the weekend started early when I took my littles

to the beach on Friday, such a beautiful fun day!

My eldest little starts school this week so our fall will officially begin

and Josh starts school next week so this is the last week of summer for us.

We have grand plans for drive in movies, beach picnics,

italian ices, and camping on the weekend.

Going out with a bang (:

P.S. We decided to walk/scooter to Karate today

and this one sang "Old McDonald" at the top of his 

lungs the whole way.

Loved it (:
