All You Need Is Love, Wheeling

 
Look, even Mama made it in a picture from last weekend's super-fun lovescaping adventure! Thanks to the amazingly talented husband & wife team at Bennett McKinley Photography for including me! To see a few more awesome pictures with the whole-fam-damnly & new friends, check out Handmade Escapade's All You Need Is Love blog post. And, somehow, Mama also got quoted in the newspaper, so if you're wondering what all the hearts are about, you can read what the professionals wrote in the Intelligencer.
 







 
 


While on a union break, the boys turned to a little potty talk to help them relax & regroup.


And once they were relaxed, the Small, Dark & Handsome boys started sword fighting... with their lollipop sticks. Yeah, I think Alexander had a good time. I also think he can't wait for his baby brother to grow a little bigger. But until then, B will make a fine little brother substitute!


 


Tell me these two pictures don't make you think of Dylan? Seriously, do you think Jackie & I are distant cousins, or something?

He's All Heart


The boys spent the morning making hearts for Jenny Brown's latest project... decorating a 6 story abandoned building in downtown Wheeling with a hundred knit, crochet and crafted hearts. That friend-o!

Although both boys made hearts, it was a little hard getting pictures of William in the act. Well, it was a little too easy catching him high-fiving his white-handed brother...

Happy Mardi Gras


Happy Mardi Gras! Unfortunately, William missed his first Mardi Gras. Luckily, Mardi Gras didn't miss us; it arrived in a box early last week from a couple fabulous Cajun friends. So nice to have friends in Southern places! XOXO.

Wind Chilled Pastries


http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/05/30/recipe-whole-wheat-toaster-pastries-a-k-a-pop-tarts/
I saw this recipe a few weeks ago, but only found time to make them today while we were cuddled up in the kitchen to escape the cold. Delicious!
