the first party.

that is, miss ruby is turning three on friday

and so we are doing a birthday breakfast on sat., 

yet she is one lucky lady 

and was blessed with a pretty awesome night

including lots of fun cousins...

and she ended up with the dreamiest of presents: 

a dress up chest. 

she is so loved.

'neslackases'

and flower picking.

dressing up in the new digs.

isnt it so cheery!

mr. balloon lover. ball?

miss sassafrass, the queen of fun

{who did us the honor of a sleepover

and was such a blast to have around; 

my kids love her!}

the scene of the dress up madness.

and dec exploring the yard.

cheers!

st. patrick's day.

definitely a highlight of last weekend: 

the annual st. paddy's day whoopla

in which a whole pub facade is made in my brothers driveway.

green beer. darts. live music. lots of little kids dancing.

jumping houses. and irish kisses for sale. 

it was one to remember, once again! 

thanks guys for an awesome party!

this guy had one too many green waters i guess.

happy weekend.

any exciting plans? 

i'm thinking of trying a circle skirt

and mabye sewing up some favors for the 

upcoming 3 yr. old birthday in our house.

i do love birthdays!

cookie stand.

forget lemonade stands.

i want to have cookies and milk stand.

springy looks i love.

wishing i was wearing these three looks:

i am a big fan of pairing cozy

scarves with a nice light shirt

in springtime.

and i do love a big fat wedge sandal.

long and perfectly cut lovlies 

such as this.

{find it here}

 simple and stunning 

with the fantastic addition

of cowboy boots and belt.

sick kids

so unfortunately the kids have been sick.

really down and out around here.

dec seems to be on the up and up

but lately ruby has been looking like the above photo.

it really breaks my heart to see them not be their crazy 

silly selves. esp when they want to be better so badly. 

i cant wait to have things back to normal

and play outside all day.

its lovely and warm here.

how was your weekend? any fun outdoor activities?
