What a Saturday!

Howdy, howdy!

Woo-ee, today was a big, glorious day!
Firstly, the sun was a lot more present than it's been of late. Granted, there were also scattered showers and strong gusts. But at least there was sun!

So, we started off the day with a run to a mini Plant Sale to benefit an art center that focuses on repurposing "junk"...into art! Love it~~ We got 3 bean plants, 2 pea plants, and 1 tomato plant. All for $5. Ella Rose and I planted them in the front of the house where we get the most sun. Ella's favorite part was labeling the Popsicle sticks with the correct names.

A little shady and you can't make out anything...but by the end of summer I foresee many a tall plant!

After that, we attended the birthday party of a "Peachie friend" (Peach Blossom classmate) at the park. Naomi is a sweet little girl, and her mother is a midwife who delivered William~! Her name is Ellie Rose... Very similar to Ella Rose! :) That whole family is something special -- all so beautiful, inside and out and they just radiate joy!!
The "theme" of the party was supposed to be "soccer", but the intermittent rain sorta didn't make that happen. Not that I cared! It was a lovely time marked by great people, great food, and happy children all around. I love the community I have found here in Corvallis and getting to know everybody more and more too.

William chowed down on the cake and popcorn BIG TIME. Look at that little scowl, aaaaw~

At home, Dash made pizza for dinner (muy yum!) and then he and Ella rose went on a little father-daughter date to a local dance performance! A number of different dance institutes in the area showcased their students in a myriad of genres. Ella Rose came back home exhausted but happy and as I write I am sure she is nestled in her bed while "visions of sugarplum (fairies) dance in her head"...

There were other fun little happenings today, such as receiving a pizza stone from a friend (who just so happens to be a pro pizza-maker herself!!), shopping around for a replacement bowl (as you may recall, I broke one last night...and gluing it together just did not work!! ;_;), and going over our expenses with Dash (a trying but necessary thing to do on a regular basis).

Tomorrow's going to be a good day too and I hope you had a great Saturday.
See you all tomorrow, and until then, Happy Saturday!!
