Today was a rather lazy day, which was totally fine with the girls and I.  Some days just need to be a day spent in your jammies, at home, snuggling and playing and just being.  And we would have been fine with us to remain in our jammies for the entire day had it not been for my friend Betsy posting a message on my Facebook page saying that the farm where she has her CSA still had pick your own tomatoes for $1.00/pound.  Mary and I have been dying to make the tomato sauce recipe (and can it) from Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver (such an incredible book) for awhile now and at $1.00/pound how could we pass this up?!  So, I called Mary to see if she and her tribe would be up for an adventure, and no sooner did I finish asking the question than she said "yes" and went to go get her littles ready.  So off we went to meet up with our friends in Millis.  We arrived to discover that sadly they were done picking for the day.  Bummer.  But on the bright side they do have an ice cream stand there, so the next logical move was, of course, to have ice cream for dinner!  Perfect for Meatless Monday, if I do say so myself.  












If only we could have brought this wonderful farm kitten home with us!  The girls fell in love the minute they spotted her.  She was, quite honestly, a very tolerant kitty for being so young.  What a sweetheart little Buckwheat was, and we were thrilled to get to meet her.  Someday, sweet daughters, we will have a cat of our own.  Someday...

The girls woke up full of energy and quickly got to playing dress up and with their dolls.







After they finished shopping, we had some breakfast.


After breakfast a little more time playing dress up,


followed by the sad realization that the living room was trashed.


We headed upstairs to get ready for the day, and the girls ended up on the "phone" with Grandma.


The "phone" incase you are wondering is a light switch for their floor lamp.  Ever since my Mom plugged that into their floor lamp, when Grace was younger than Em is now, it has been a "phone".




After we were dressed we had a playdate with some of our favorite people!
My bestest friend, and the girls beloved godmother, Mary, and her adorable son Will from:









A fantastic beginning to a new week.
We'll see you tomorrow.
