Free little libraries

Rifled through my mom's garage to put up the first Free Little Library in Crestview (that I know of)! I'm excited to see if anyone uses it. Lord knows I need to (half the books in there are on my to-read list, but I figure they might be better use to someone else while they wait for me.)

Our sister-hood, Brentwood, has it's first library up as well. I am going to pop by there soon!

Rocked it this weekend

While the young'ins were downtown for SXSW festivities, I was in my yard updating our rock garden. Mulch + our old river rock + Kangaroo plants + free limestone from Leander = Love.

It's SXSW in Austin

Austin is the self-proclaimed "Live Music Capital of the World," and what better way to celebrate SXSW 2012 than host your own band at home. I'm so hipster.

Introducing the two-man band...Vader:

Morning, Sunshine

Friday was my neighbor Sunshine's birthday, so for breakfast, Cruz made her some chocolate covered strawberries and blueberries. He may or may not have snatched a few for himself.

Put a bird on it

This was once a cute little Craigslist find for Cruz. Enter in 2 over-tired toddlers with pencils and playdough.

Never fear...Mommy put a bird on it...and a lion...and a hippo. I had some extra fabric from an unfinished (aka never started) craft project.

Tada - 3 hours later. I never said I could sew straight!

Since I didn't have the patience to measure correctly, I totally MacGyver'd it so he couldn't pull it off.

My flower child

The weather is so warm the broccoli has bolted and nearby at the compost pile we found a surprise. Not a big deal, you say? You should have seen Cruz's face and heard the delight in his squeal when he said, "Mommy, look! A flower!!!"

Look what we picked up at HEB

Whole...organic...two-year-old cuteness. :)

We were waiting for Mr. Zapata, our Meals on Wheels client that we meet biweekly for grocery store trips. Cruz loves him (and the fact that Mr. Zapata brings him treats like a quarter for his piggy bank, an empanada and even a Valentine) and loves HEB (free samples, buddy bucks and hand baskets like the one below).
