weekend in pictures.

This weekend was super lazy. The greatest events included beers with pals (yea!) and dinner visits with Derek’s parents (also yea!). The rest of the weekend was spent in a haze of video games (him) and romantic comedies (clearly, me). Recharge we did!

Here’s our weekend in the form of pictures, because why not I ask you?

Baked us up some amazing cinnamon buns!

Yeah!

Now each day they stare at me and taunt me.

"Eat me. Eaaaatttt meeee." 

And so I do.

The Cricket re-discovers his kittenhood cat bed. 

He can barely fit into it. (I couldn't help that link.)

It's pretty funny to watch.

We (well, mostly me) debate this as a gift idea for Derek's nephew.

If I were under 5, I'd be all over it. Heck, I'd wear it now.

And the kid on the cardboard insert is too happy to be inside a monster mouth.

On a walk, we discover this.

What the what?! X-Files junction?!

After nerding out for a few seconds, we high fived and moved on.

But really.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We saw this happen at the closing ceremony for the Olympics.

The pre-teen girl inside me lost it. 

I mean they were ALL OVER being AWESOME.

Eek! Made me want to haul out my platform sneakers (they were a thing!). 

And listen to this, this and of course, this.

(My friends and I totally dressed up as the Spice Girls and filmed ourselves in grade 6. We were totally into it too. I always had to be posh, but now I'm glad because hi, she's clearly the coolest. Thank you for indulging me that.)

Made some of these pretty felt flowers for my beloved.

(I know, best gf ever... totally!)

(I painted the pot too! Hearts + green = totally.)

Saw these trees everywhere in Orleans and I'm flummoxed as to what they are!

Pears? Idaknow. Input is welcome.

Watched this little gem. Oh man, the high school memories.

(of watching the movie, not things that happened in the movie. ew.)

And might I add that it's not real love unless the dude is willing to carve your name plus the words "4 eva" on his chest. 

Also, I really don't like Mark Wahlberg. Hm.

 I found this gem of a plant stand on the side of the road on the way to one of our dinner dates. It was calling out to me saying "Dooooonnnnn't leeeeaaave meeee!" and because I'm such a nice person and a lover of all things free (free!) we picked this little guy up and carried him to safety. Well, Derek carried him. But I named him, so there's that. 

Welcome to the porch Leon.

In my head this post was going to be tiny, but as usual my rambling has won.
