lately.

i made do with some flowers from the grocery store. they don't smell pretty like lilacs, but they add some purple to my kitchen.

i planted something! i recycled my planter from last year and planted some mint. i grew up on mint tea, so i'm pretty excited about it! i think i'm also going to do tomatoes in a bucket this year. {mmmmm, a blt sounds really good right now....}

i finished little dorrit. i cried my eyes out in the last episode. soooooooooooooooooooooo good.

growing out bangs is the worst ever. i have to pull them back all the time or i know i'll end up cutting them. wish me luck. it's been a LONG time since i've been without bangs.

and speaking of hair, i've been loving putting serena's up in a little top knot lately. she looks like a little sumo wrestler :)

we grilled up some hot dogs with our friends last night. hot dog + mustard + relish = delicious.

serena had her 1 year dr appointment yesterday. she's off the charts in height {wonder where she gets that??} and weighs 23 lbs. i think she weighed the same at 9 months. i guess she really is thinning out a bit.

date night tomorrow! ice cream + iron man with my sisters & their husbands. can't wait!
