1) $4. Antique Store. Vintage Happy Meal toys. We're in love.
2) My Dad's handwriting in the mail. Almost made me cry.
3) Neighbor's sweet-pea tree. I heart spring.
4) Some mistakes are happy.
5) My heart is made of peony. Perhaps.
6) Mushrooms, artichokes, tomatoes, basil, capers, yellow peppers, feta = Lunch.
7) A lunch date with my favorite twirly girl.
8) More salsa, por favor.
9) Cutest garden helpers in the County (and then some).
10) I swear he isn't peeing.
11) It turns out there is a difference.
Your turn!
i love you to pieces. although it's not a recent development... that part pushed me over my word limit, but had to clarify. forgive me?
ReplyDeleteps. scored a fisher price little people ferris wheel - $8 circo 1970.
ReplyDeletethat should say circa! duh! i'm done now. forgive me again.
ReplyDeleteThose noodles look amazing. It's after 10 and you've got my stomache growling! Shame on you.
ReplyDeleteLol about the sweet chili sauce. I could have told you that. Re: dad's handwriting: I am with ya. Amd everything you wrote about the kiddos: I concur.
ReplyDeleteWhere were you when I needed you? At least I caught my error before it actually happened. :)
DeleteStop the truck. Her little smile and her hair! That is the cutest thing EVER!
ReplyDeleteok, the fact that you bought happy meal toys is cracking me UP! i usually throw those suckers out asap...but the b. bear family i might go there. why don't they have cool happy meal toys anymore??
ReplyDeleteThese suckers are STURDY! I had no idea they were McD's until I took a very close look. Don't make 'em like they used to! My kids were positively giddy.
Deletetrue story: I had Brother bear on his scooter. I remember him still.
DeleteMy kids always always always are playing with mcdonalds toys. It's like, their favorite. Is that weird?
I think your heart is made of peony. FOR SURE.
I need more salsa also. And I'm stealing your kids. They're so ding dang adorable. By stealing I mean borrowing for a short time while you go on a date. Then I'm giving them back.
I step on your word limits. You can't buy me hot dog man!
#10 made me howl! I swear.
ReplyDeleteIs she biting the fingers of that statue?
I do believe so. :)
DeleteHow fun are those Berenstain Bears! And a complete set! We just picked up a BB book at a garage sale, and I had to laugh while reading it to my daughter...it talks about taking pictures into the "photo store" to be developed, then the family is sitting around looking at all the photos. My girl couldn't even comprehend that one, lol.
ReplyDeletesilas. i love him and his faux-peeing to bits.
ReplyDeletetotally remember those exact mcds toys! the pic of siley {not} peeing is hilarious! my heart may too, be made of part peony. but i'm interracial, so there are a few more loves mixed up in there.
ReplyDeleteI may have snorted just a bit with the "he's not peeing" comment and picture.
ReplyDeleteMaggi brand chili sauce? No way Jose. Or as they say here "Chili Sos." So I'm new...do you NOT like one of them? Would you like an authentic bottle of "Thai Chili Sos" (ya know, like they have on the tables at KFC here?:) It's a bit vinegary, and I'm not sure how anyone eats the regular Chili Sos with their original recipe legs. I always ALWAYS use the Thai stuff on my annual visit to KFC.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post:) I actually have a couple of those BBears sets. I had them as a kid and now my third graders love to play with them in free time. My girls collect the BB books. There are so many!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend:)
I can attest to the fact that those happy meal toys are sturdy...we have that wheelbarrow AND the little red wagon mixed in with all the toys in the toybox. They are from my childhood...but I would not have remembered where! NOW I know!
ReplyDeleteI really want to believe you about Silas. Really, I do. On fact, I choose to believe. I have those BB's, too! I collected all kinds of Happy Meal toys that my kids play with when we go to my Mom's. So it was an inexplicable thrill to see them here, believe it or not. So, thanks! I needed a pick-me-up this morning! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the berenstein bears!
ReplyDeleteI have those Bears!!
ReplyDeleteI had a similar chili sauce epiphany about a year ago. They should really put a note on the label.
ReplyDeleteThe berensteins are just the cutest! Have you tried heinz chili sauce, a can of cranberry sauce, and meatballs in the slow cooker?? YUM-O!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post and I laughed out loud at $10. OK so which one of the chili sauces is better?
ReplyDeleteYou.
ReplyDeleteMake.

Or in some cases hilarious. I was doing great on ten words until I saw the 'peeing' (not), pic!

You must live near the mitten state -- you've talked about Saugatuck and Meijer recently! :) Both familiar scenes for me. Love your blog -- and thanks for clarifying that there was no peeing going on, because it certainly looked suspicious. LOL
ReplyDeleteA crazy week for meeee! Your post just made my heart happy and more!
ReplyDeleteA crazy week for meeee! Your post just made my heart happy and more!
ReplyDeleteif it had been my boys in the picture, they would have totally been peeing.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Bears! My daughter is just getting into them. And as far as the chili sauce, nothing compares to marinating shrimp in the sweet chili cause with cilantro and a little oil, then grill. Best shrimp ever!
ReplyDeletehello, fancy friend. finally having a minute to comment in addition to reading.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the happy meal toys, super score.
yes. always more salsa!
the jar of salsa i bought at sam's last time was horrible. i think chi chi's went and meddled in their recipe. and this mama is sulking.
more to life i suppose. maybe.
always love you! praying xo
I'm IN LOVE with the Berenstain Bears! Seriously. I'd like some of those on a shelf in my home.
ReplyDeleteAlso..your chitlins gathering plants AND eating the fingers of and NOT peeing on our near sculpture.
Possible fave pic ever!
Have a great weekend!
xxoo
lol i did wonder if he was peeing... i love that his shirt is rolled up :) and my heart is made of peony too, friend. love to you. xo
ReplyDeleteI just spent about 15 minutes searching for that sweet chili sauce (the asian one on the left) couldn't find it!! hope it was good :)
ReplyDeleteDo you read Posie Gets Cozy? Her peony story is incredible; go read it. The vintage Berenstain Bear toys are so sweet. I loved those books as a kids and now my boys enjoy them. Adorable photos of your kiddos! And the salsa, yum-o!
ReplyDeleteI read your guest post SCL, then I hopped over here to see your blog. I really enjoyed this post and have subscribed. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!! For the tea towel! You are the sweetest thing ever!!!! I love it :)!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the difference in small. I love the cute little bear family. I remember the books that had those bears in them but I can't remember the name of the family.
