{grammie teaching eloise how to color while waiting for lunch. there was some scribbling, but also some attempts to eat the crayons…}
{trying out a novel. my first since eloise was born!}
{we hit up the local bagel bakery on our way out of town.}
{the Astoria bridge on the coast was so pretty in all of the fog as we left for home on saturday morning.}
{eloise enjoyed some chipotle & people-watching for dinner.}
{the new home for our (way less than two pounds now!) of salt water taffy.}
{lunch out this afternoon before hitting the grocery store. it was raining earlier today so it was perfect soup weather!}
{the gilbertsons sent eloise this fun shopping cart for her birthday. she loves it already & is cruising all over the living room with mr. lion!}
{after the rain stopped we headed out to do some yardwork during eloise’s afternoon nap. luckily it was a long nap since there is so much work for us to do before we have a complete yard overhaul (just the back for now) in a few weeks.}
{this taco soup was on the menu for this evening’s dinner & it calls for white hominy. they only sell it in HUGE cans, so here is aaron posing with it before we divided it all up into freezer bags for future soup!}
we had a pretty low-key weekend which was good after a busy & fun-filled week on the Oregon coast (I will try to post pictures later this week!). saturday we spent the first half of the day driving home, & then unpacking. sunday was spent trying to sleep in (eloise didn’t really let us, but she did sleep all night without a peep!) & getting some yard work done. it was nice to lay low & gear up for another week since the start of fall is so packed! the weather seems to have taken a turn towards fall around here & it is bittersweet. I am not ready for summer to be over (quite yet) but I am ready for fall! how was your weekend?
