Yesterday Addison and I wondered around our local shopping center for hours just enjoying the sunshine (note the sunhat little miss fair skin had to wear. Okay, "had to" is the wrong wording...more like "was forced to wear because Mom found it so cute".)

It is equally as beautiful today, and once her lazy bones gets up we are going to go exploring again, maybe through Hyde Park. We drove through Oakley yesterday and spied a super cute looking children's book store* that has free story time and sing-a-longs each week...we'll check it out tomorrow and let you know.

Last night Andy & I checked out houses online, enjoyed dinner outside in the sunshine and half watched the NCAA championship (really, who cared about this one?). The weather is supposed to turn toward the end of the week, but for now I am enjoying exposing my "fishy belly white" legs to the world and wearing flip flops...

*It has been always been a secret fantasy of mine to own a children's bookstore and host story hours and tell children's stories with felt cut outs on a magnet board. I know that my bookstore would be awesome because I have friends and family who have just about taught every elementary grade and are experts on children's books. My store would be sunny, with big oversized chairs and beanbags and fuzzy area rugs. I could be like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail...only not as pretty or as perky.
