when life gives you sunshine...

 
Is there anything better than hot sunny days in May? I think not, especially in Washington. It's kinda like mother nature's way of telling you to hold on, summer will be here soon, and it will be glorious.
 
 
So we enjoyed.
 


 
 
 
We played. Camano Island.
 
 
Lake Goodwin

 
 





 
We played until some of us got a little cold.
 
 
And then the sun went ni-night...
 






We weren't quite ready to come in yet, though.
 



 
So, we went to yet another park and lit a big fire.
Now we were warm, and could see. Kind of.
 

 
We roasted hot dogs (the Costco ones. We're classy) and made s'mores.
And this is pretty much what we have been up to,
repeat x 3 days,
plus a lot of ice cream
(forgot to get a picture of that)
 
I am so glad to be part of a family that knows how to let everything else go and just PLAY.
 
And I hope I am raising girls who will love these little things, too.

a few of my favorite things

 
Babies that nap
 

And painted nails and toenails


 
And beaches with seashells



 
And a booty with ruffles

 



Handmade projects for baby girl...
 



...And ice. Of course, ice.
 


 
And Starbucks, definitely Starbucks. And the world's sweetest coworkers, who make me handmade baby gifts and glittery coffee cups.
 
 
These are a few of my favorite things.
