just to mention

labor day. aaah. labor weekend. oooh.

we're pregnant! kidding. oh gosh all you blog readers, you. did you just gasp? all ten of you? ;)

now that i have your attention: we had a lovely weekend. it consisted of sleeping, eating, taking walks, making delicious coconut shrimp, spending time with the husband and babe and enjoying a little bit cooler weather. aah fall, i can feel you. come soon. i'm ready to not sweat when walking from my car to the grocery store. ...i would say to the mall or work or somewhere more exciting. but let's face it - i grocery shop, i mop, i sweep, i vacuum, i change diapers, i cook, i wash toilets, i wipe tears...and to me, it's allllll glorious. really. i love my job. i am wondering when i get a pay raise, though? ;)

please enjoy the view of a few of our most recent days in picture form: mostly loralai picture form: right after i tell you this one gross bit of my day.

today i was on my way back from running an errand with the babe. we were sitting at a stop light. stopped. and i looked in my rear view mirror - i don't know why i looked - excellent driving skill habit? ;) but when i looked, i saw something so terribly disgusting. something so incredibly socially akward and just plain WRONG. there was a girl, no. a woman. she must have been in her early twenties. and y'all, she was picking her boogers! i mean going deep for the boogies. but the worst part? she was EATING them! i am NOT kidding. i don't make up this stuff. i don't even want to make up this stuff. i have no problem changing poopy diapers and wiping baby boogers - my baby's boogers. that doesn't gross me out. but when it comes to other people's grossness, i have a major gag reflex. and oh sweet mama, i started gagging. because little miss thing in her red car kept going back for more. and eating more. oh my gosh, it was so gross. and then, she sniffed her right armpit. what in the WORLD?! ...it was a disappointment to my afternoon. i consider yuckiness like this to be totally avoidable. mamas - teach your youngins not to pick and eat their boogies. it's just dirty nonsense.
eeew.

ok. now, here are the pictures of our sweet and happy little life.



loralai taking in the wind at the beach during our walk. poor mister rabbit endured lots of baby drool. i think i need to wash his paws and ears.

the mama and papa on our walk downtown on monday morning. it was lovely. breezy. no one was up but us folks with babies. perfect.
she was eyein' her laundry basket. so i put her in it. i think she liked it. ;)
hi sweet baby who sits on her knees, crawls really fast and giggles laying on her back with her toes in her mouth, hi.
the daddy with his girl on the riverwalk downtown. ah coffee. yummy tasty coffee.

whatcha doin daddy? 'lowerin' your crib so that you'll quit using your bumper as a means to catapult your torso over the top of your crib.' oh.

not so much a gasp, more of a pleasantly surprised/concerned facial expression. (cause facial expressions are what i'm good at.)

yea for a sweet long weekend. it sounds like yall had a wonderful time.

ignoring the grossness, moving on to those photos: cute. i especially like the laundry basket one. and the one of her back and sweet growing hair and little toes is cute.

and yea for coconut shrimp.

Um....thanks for sharing your story?

No. Don't ever share those kinds of stories ever again. Gross.

i like the gross story. it's funny. if you all had been on the other end of the phone when she called to tell me what was happening, you would have thought Jesus was in the car with her and he as giving her a wedgie.
