Did you know chickens love to eat tomatoes? I didn't, until I got to hang out with Lisa's ladies yesterday.

I got to hang out on my friend Lisa's back deck and drive iced coffee yesterday. Jealous? You should be.

Two pieces of mail from this week. Guess which one I'm more excited about? (HINT: the one that actually looks fun.)

I will never, ever not ever get sick of taking close-up pics of my giant dog's face. This was from today's vet visit.

Saw this sign outside of a restaurant this morning. The little notation at the bottom made me laugh.

Yesterday we hosted a cookout for some of the families we've become friends with through our nearly five years at Jane's daycare. One of the moms got all of the kids "BFFs" bracelets. It seriously made me teary. These last couple of weeks heading into kindergarten are going to be a little bit rough, I think.

I was horrified to be in a McDonald's Playland about an hour ago. Others in my family were simply delighted.

Got to visit my favorite bookstore in the state recently. I seriously think I breathe easier when I'm in there. Any bookstore, really. But this one especially.

Pro parenting tip: keep your kids' toys away from the dogs, or there will be a disturbing number of missing limbs, heads, etc. (Jane had these peeps lined up for the train.) (Hopefully the train was going to the hospital.)

I did something today that I was very nervous to do. This was my reward.

I took Jane and my niece to see Legally Blonde the Musical last night. This is what she chose to wear for her night out. And they say no one dresses for the theater anymore...

This girl loves to draw. And I love being outside. Sidewalk chalk for the win!

Went to the farmer's market this morning with Jane. She ate approximately 500 blueberries today, I think. And that's a conservative estimate.

I had a delightful iced coffee at a delightful place with a delightful friend today.

(do me a favor and pop over to her blog and tell her to post more, will you?)

We took Jane to see her first ever movie in the movie theater - Brave - yesterday. She made sure to wear her Merida costume. You can see that she had a terrible time and wasn't excited at all.
