2. i wear pretty skirts in the summer.
3. marcus got a mr potato head playdoh factory. we loves it. we even made a rasta version with multicolored dread locks.
4. we went to another local music night and marcus got to watch his fave uber cool beat boxer.
5. we have watched the movie cars2 about 1,258 times. we watched it last weekend after an exhausting + awesome day outside and he fell asleep in the little spoon position. aka just when i thought i could not love him more, he goes and makes my heart grow again. the best part is i didn't know he was asleep until i posted that photo of us on instagram and was all 'oh what the...his eyes are closed in that photo. oh wait. his eyes are still closed. oh wait. he's in a comatose deep sun-induced sleep. swoon.'
6. we have hit up the local splash pad more times than we've watched cars2. he literally doesn't even close his mouth the entire time, hoping that water will find it's way into his mouth while he's mid squee.
7. the other night my bestie meliss and i scheduled a solid phone date. and while we were getting on the phone she sent me that photo of her 'date' set up: chocolate, wine + assorted olive goodness that she had prepared to eat during our talk. i literally was laughing so hard i almost spit lemon water out of my nose and promised to be better prepared next time. one more reason she remains at the top of my life.
8. we've been rocking non organic ice cream dates at this little old school parlor in streetsville and eating it down at the pebble beach. we have no non organic shame in this. we don't tolerate dairy during the other three seasons, but somehow we can manage our ice cream just fine :)
9. we've been eating on our 'patio' aka mega size balcony instead of at the table. which means i need to get a patio set because my butt is sore from all the mama-picnic-style-eats while marcus chills in his tiny antique rocking chair.
10. i may or may not have had a new bike custom fit + built + ordered as an early birthday present. it may or may not have arrived earlier than expected and i may or may not surprise marcus with it tomorrow. i have been working so so hard to be able to do things like this for him and it's going to be an awesome challenge for him and i'm so excited to help him learn and master his new racing balance bike. there may or may not be a nearby skate/bike ramp park that i plan to teach him at and teach him to take it down the ramps. WITH A HELMET ON. obv. it is so bad ass. the helmet is especially bad ass. it even has teeth people. clearly i will post an update either from the emergency room or the bike ramp in the next week or two.
so. that's been the past one point five ish weeks of our life.
we are headed home this weekend for a fam jam aka a cousin's wedding. we have a ton of tallman cousins who have never met marcus + i don't know if you know this, but i'm slightly proud of the kid and you can't imagine how proud i am. always. to introduce him to new people. espesh new people who i know + love aka extended fam. so i kind of can't wait to drive home in long weekend traffic with an almost-three-year-old-ugh-can-he-please-stay-two tomorrow afternoon and have an unreal long weekend with some very important people.
big summer love :) we hope you are spending just as much time + love outdoors and soaking it all that the summer + heat wave have to offer. even the intolerant dairy ;)
