Pie, hydrant & tights

More fun with Miss M yesterday. We went over to the new house to meet the AC guy..he fixed it and it wasn't too expensive...that's always nice. Then we hit the 620 Cafe & Bakery. It's super close to the house and has tasty homecookin'. We're in soooo much trouble when we move in. We've already eaten there two Sunday's in a row :) The great thing about their bakery is all their fresh, well, baked goods. Including PIE! Miss M told me that in her 16 years, she's only had apple pie. WHAT?!...but there are soooo many lovely pies out there. Well, after brunch, Mia and Miss M sauntered over to the bakery counter and picked themselves their slices...and both ended up with chocolate cream pie! Did they want to share a piece? Hell no! Below are some shots with my pos camera phone...I LOVE the one a few down of Mia begging for two more bites...oh, the thing is that yes, you can have pie, but just a few bites...it's a LOT and tasting food is wonderful and the ability to put your fork down and walk away without finishing something just to finish it is something I'm still working on. Plus, that slice o' pie was bigger than her HEAD! :)





In our cul-de-sac, there's a fire hydrant that gets opened up every month or so just to let the chlorine levels rise...don't ask. All it means to us is a good time. We all hung out in the spray until Lily cried from the sidelines...Miss M and Mia hung out for a while. When they came in the house, Mia was SOAKED, and oh so happy :) What's funny is that after getting out of her wet dress, she opted for some colorful tights...yes, it's July in Texas, but the girl wanted her tights :)

The Reluctant Puddle Duck

Lovin' the Summer.... the heat? not so much. the water? YES! Loving opportunities like this!

It's Summer in Texas and the temps are averaging 100. Mia and I were about town the other day...in and out of stores..in and out of a HOT car. As we got close to home, I noticed some water on the road. A LOT of water. In our cul-de-sac! With Mia in one hand and my P&S in the other, we went to investigate. The water guy said that he was checking chlorine levels (they passed) through the and was now flushing the system through the fire hydrant. Hmmmm. He looked at Mia, smiled, said it was totally safe, gave us the go ahead and actually took a shot of us :) For some reason I thought she'd take to it like all those NYC kids do in those Summer movies. Nope. She was cautious. Until she found a puddle more her size, and just loved it :)









I know I'm reaching...but little ways below her right foot there are two clusters of bubbles...the one on the right is a heart :)



Happy Love Thursday. Shutter Sisters is full of LOVE today.
