Tour de Cart


With Daddy out of town in Little Rock, we had to get out of the house!

Mango-lemon agua frescas at Pearl.



Sweet potato empanada.



'WE GO THE LI-BERRY IN DA STRODER!' - C


After naps we went to La Cantera where what to my wondering eyes should appear -- the purse that I wanted, decided to buy at a later date, then it sold out, wasn't available anywhere, and there it was sitting on the clearance table, HALF OFF. Thanks, Anniverary Sale shopper who decided she didn't want it anymore!

Cheesin' at the Bistro. Shortly before this we were in the shoe department. I was discussing which color of a certain shoe I should buy with the saleswoman after giving each girl a tiny sliver of chocolate chip cookie to buy me time* and she said TAUPE! and I was thinking taupe too so perfect... until the saleswoman starts laughing at her friend who was smiling and waving at Josie, who was smiling and waving back, her face and outstretched palm completely covered in melted chocolate. Deglazed with some wet wipes I luckily had in my purse, we made our way to the bistro.

Buttering bread with knife.


And directly with the pat of butter.


See, being out with small kids is easy.


As long as they're restrained. The next day was a Tour de Cart.

Racecart I.



Racecart II. They LOVE being in carts.



Tarzhay.


Josie's face here.


Watching sportsball with Daddy and Baby and Tiny Baby.


'I DO YOGA!'

I'm trying to do 15 minutes of yoga most nights and on Friday I thought it would be interesting to see if C would follow along. She did yoga all weekend...

cat pose.


Hip openers.





She grabbed Baby -- BABY DO YOGA!



Namaste, y'all. Have a great week!

Labor Day 2015


Our Labor Day weekend.

When Luke arrived home from Houston on Saturday we went to Torchy's at 3 pm -- the place was 80% full but no wait -- for margaritas and queso. Their queso is sooo good!



"Mommy's drink and Daddy's drink."


Thank you for my supercool t-shirt, Aunt Molly and Uncle John!



WHERE'S JOSIE???? She still covers her ears instead of her eyes. So cute!




Our next stop was an Indian place my co-worker recommended about 10 miles away. To me, this constitutes A Trip. There are no Indian restaurants close to us much to the detriment of my Take Out Friday needs (pretty much every Friday is Take Out and Nonstop TV Until Bedtime Because Mommy Is Exhausted Friday).

Here we turned gulab jamun into Clementine's favorite thing:  A CAKE POP! she exclaimed.



Trader Joe's is across the parking lot, the place 'where you buy plants and chocolate'. -- Luke

Note potted succulent as sole cart item. Clementine loved pushing the cart.
 

Home for crawl-on-Daddy antics





A gentle pat?


No.




Sunday morning at new coffee place and bakery Southview.


Here's Halee the head baker - her Instagram feed will make you want to move to San Antonio - she shows off the brightest and the coolest parts of the city. (@theginger_snap)


As for Clementine, she likes her doughnuts.



Nearby Lion's Field.



Baby got back: this jumpsuit is still available in a different wash. Caveat emptor: it's impossible to zip up yourself so be sure you have your Downton Abbey-style valet on duty.









Pearl farmers' market. My foot is sanny [sandy]!


Target Run 1.

Target Run 2. How creepy is Big Baby?


Josie - still waiting for the big WHERE'S JOSIE reveal.


Nailed it.
