Because Lattes Fuel Sanity
This morning my good friend Elena & I took a trip to Chappies & Starbucks for two lattes & some much anticipated mama socialization time.
It was EXACTLY what we needed.
The babes loved it too -- and it must have tuckered them out as they were both napping as we pulled into my driveway.
Adorable.
They're betrothed, you know.
We're already working on her dowry.

Happy Post Tubby Baby Time
See this smile?
This is what I see 98% of the time & I will never take it for granted.
We certainly landed ourselves a happy little babe.
Guten nacht!

Baby G's Happy Noise
I warn you in advance -- this video is a little loud & a lot screamy.
Do you love the fact that the boy & I are both instigating her in the background? We do this in restaurants too.
We're those parents.

To The Zoo, Mes Amis
If The Sartorialist took photos of babywearing fashions, do you think I'd make the cut?
She's a swinger, baby.
The Mama, The Babe & The Karen.
I realize that in a post about the zoo I should perhaps have included photos of animals -- however, I didn't actually take any. Apparently we're a little self obsessed over here.
Ah well.
I can't help the fact that El Gretcho is so photogenic (I can only exploit it).
Peace out, ladies & gents!
Summer BBQ Love
This past Saturday we spent the afternoon out at Ryan's mother's/grandparent's place for a BBQ. The sun was shining & you could feel the fall season moving in.
Baby G loves her flowers.
Also, I'm completely envious of her lashes, which she definitely got from her father.
ps. I promise that she was perched much less precariously than that last photo seems! She was quite safe, with a mum mum in hand.
How did you spend your weekend?

I Give In (They've Got To Go)
Yesterday I posted all about the creepy little spiders in the basement and today I found four more little webs with babies.
I give in.
No more Mrs. Nice Gal.
Tomorrow? Vacuum time.
(My apologies to the arachnid world.)

Eight Legged Freeloaders
We have spiders.
They are everywhere.
Okay, so maybe everywhere is a bit extreme, but if you ask my arachnophobic partner, he'd tell you they were taking over.
To be honest, I've never seen anything like this.
For a while I passed by this spider on my trips down to the basement while doing laundry and didn't think much of it. However, we've since noticed that she is a mama spider and what I had thought were gnats in her web are actually little spiderlings.
Lots and LOTS of spiderlings.
I feel a little stuck.
Usually I'm not one for harming the creatures of this earth, but this is a little extreme. I'm starting to figure out Operation Get The Spiders Outside Without Killing Any Of Them, but the boy seems to think we should just suck them up with the vacuum (which I'm not sure would kill them, but merely trap them til they found their way out).
Either way, I'm not sure my heart could take it.
There's a good chance I will call my mother in on this one & see if she has any spider wrangling advice. Until then, I'll be the only one doing laundry.
Mr. Arachnophobia refuses to even think about the basement.
What would you do?

And The Leaves Are Changing Colour One By One
The other day I set Gretchen up on a towel on our deck with a bowl full of water and a big spoon.
So curious & playful.
She looks like a tiny little chef.
A chef who's spilling her batter, perhaps.
So much love for these days.
The summer is leaving us, but slowly, slowly it goes. The leaves are changing, the seasons are turning and the babe is growing.
September always makes me wish I was still in school. There's something about school supplies & orange trees & backpacks & scotch tape. Ahh, I'm having a craving for snuggling down & watching You've Got Mail*.
Swoon.
I hope you're all having a fabulous evening (season) and night.
Much love.
*You've Got Mail is my favourite movie of all time, which I believe I've mentioned before. I just can't get enough. I could watch it everyday and still swoon & sway to the music & sigh. So beautiful.
