i must admit that i got a bit misty-eyed when watching this from the front porch:

i felt like i had a love-hate-love-hate relationship with the fact that i had no child at home during the day for the first time in SEVENTEEN YEARS! crazy.




**speaking of said child, did you see her awesome backpack that we purchased solely for the fact that it looked just! like! her! :

i might have been so enamored by the items we found at target from the harajuku mini line that i may or may not have purchased THIS backpack for no reason at all.

or for myself: (really. not joking.)

What will you be doing w/all that alone time during the day? Maybe you should get a job. Nah. That is lame.

Very cute girlies. I love the mini Mia.

And of course the cattie outfit is awesome. I"m surprised Megan put it on her. Or did you put it on her when she wasn't looking?

I never thought Zac was cross eyed. Is he?
