a few more pictures from this day. penny and i packed up a little dinner, met evan at his office, and walked on over to this new park downtown. we stuffed our faces and then ran around while the sun set along side us. it was basically my definition of a perfect friday night. my my how times have changed...
about a month ago i began somewhat obsessively browsing urban baby bonnets website dreaming of the day i'd have a few spare dollars to splurge on a good quality hat for penny. see, this girl is a fair skinned, light eyed, little beauty so naturally we need to be aware of her sun exposure. also, she generally will keep any hat on for about 2.5 seconds... on a good day. enter the stork and the beanstalk giveaway. now i'm not one to enter blog giveaways often. only if it's something i've already had my heart set on, and it's not just something frivolous. and wouldn't ya know it, i got an email last week that i won! there may have been a happy dance or two around the living room, but i can not confirm or deny it. but i can confirm that within minutes of that email hitting my inbox, this hat was being added to my virtual shopping cart.
as soon as it arrived at our door i put it on penn's head. the thing about this lil' bonnet is that not only is it adorable, and well made, and a great bit of sun protection, but it also is held on with snaps. SNAPS! anyone who has a toddler will understand the appreciation of that little addition. penn put it on, and wouldn't let me take it off. we oooo'd, and ahhhhh'd in the mirror, and she got a real kick out of herself. so, to sum up my thoughts on it...
it's crazy cute, it's practical, it's super well made, and we hands down love it!
having friends with babies is awesome, and thankfully more and more of our friends seem to be popping out wee ones these days. so when we all suddenly found ourselves with no saturday plans, we made it a point to get our buns to the park for some hangouts of the very best kind... the kind that involve PICNICS! oh summer, you're already looking so very good!
when it's 74 degrees at the beginning of december it's best to ditch all thoughts of work and being productive, pack it in, and take your little lady to the park!
