i'm still trying to figure out how i managed without an iPhone for so long





dress. shoes. more shoes. my favorite tee.
daddy time. Coldstone time. brynn time. church time.
mocha macaron. fuel. temptation. epic basil plant.
busted up nose. smiles. pondering. sleep.

mornin'. stripes. tummy. gaaah.
forbidden. touching anyway. angry alex. her new shirt.
sisters. brynnie. nom. bathtime.

happy monday.

a quick father's day recap

we set off to RI bright & early last Sunday.
our destination: The Roger Williams Zoo (because fathers got in free)

a pit stop was made in order to eat breakfast & change diapers:


classy McD's. ridin' dirty. alex.

alex also consumed way too much water & promptly pee all over herself & her father.
this led to the rinsing of clothing & the use of the bathroom hand dryer in an attempt to make things wearable.

when that failed- operation "dry RuffleButts on the car's dashboard" commenced:


it didn't work as quickly as i hoped it would

despite an awesome double stroller, purchased specifically for her & her sister, alex refused to sit & demanded to walk or be held then entire time.

she did show some mild interest in the animals- but not nearly as much as the husband was hoping for.


alex's favorite. zebra. flamingo.

but all i all- we had a great time.










and this sign made me lol:



we wrapped up our time at the zoo & set off for something i had been looking forward to for days:



that's right- Rita's.
we don't have any up in our area- and i haven't had a Rita's in YEARS so i almost lost my mind.



Rita's 4 life!



right?



gah. as good as i remember.

me: Gelati with a layer of vanilla frozen custard- Cranberry italian ice- vanilla frozen custard
the husband: Gelati with a layer of vanilla frozen custard- Pear italian ice- vanilla frozen custard

and the best part? the girls were totally unknowing the backseat- so i didn't have to share.

short & sweet. have a great weekend!
