The last few days it has been somewhat gloomy out, drizzling rain here and there, which in turn meant being held up inside for the majority of the day.  We typically go out for at least an hour everyday, so these little birds had enough of being inside.  I took one look around my demolished living room {and random puzzle pieces sprawled across the kitchen floor..} and decided- we are going out.

I had picked up a couple suckers (cotton candy, in case you needed to know) as we were checking out at the grocery store with intentions of letting the girls have some that afternoon.  I totally forgot about them, and I was thankful since the insanity and non-stop whining that made up the majority of my afternoon was subsided by pure candy bribery.  Let me preface this by placing blame.  Blame on my mother-in-law. The woman grows Smarties candies in her kitchen, has pop-tarts and Apple Jacks cereal by the pounds.. and ultimately introduced my daughters to these lollipops. They both came strolling out the back door on the 4th of July, sunnies, suits, and a sucker.

ANYway.

This girl.  She’s been over the moon sweet lately. I mean- she’s always sweet, but she has her moments of sass.  These days that sass comes out less and less.
I cannot get enough of my mini!
