we went to our first mops of the year this week. i love mops. it's probably my favorite activity.
lots of girly talk
+ good food
+ an occasional fun craft
= my kind of place

it was my first time to drop miss holland off. i probably would have been more concerned about it if i'd had time to, but it required all my brain power to get us out the door on time. driving there was when i realized i needed a seperate little bag for to leave for holland paraphenalia. good timing. i've been using one massive bag for all 3 of us, but that wasn't going to help when all 3 of us were going in seperate directions. darn. anyway, we made do & now i'm on the hunt for a little bag for next time. it's terrible when you HAVE to go shopping for something little, girly & perferably monogrammed. sigh.
& getting us all ready might have been a bit chaotic, but don't think i didn't take every second i needed to get miss h dressed! hudson & i might be wrinkled & frazzled, but i'll be darned if holland's going out the door without looking like a doll! (sorry hudson, but you know you don't really like me to dress you anyway.)
& okay, that was a little dramatic. i DO like to dress my baby doll, but i'm not opposed to running out the door with her in just a onesie, though i have been known to make a mad dash back inside for a matching hair accessory :) it's taken 6 months to get here, though. remember THIS post?
here's miss h's little outfit (taken AFTER we got home - no time for pics before)...

| so you just want me to sit here? |

| so just look of in the distance, like a model? |

| her only headband that i didn't make. i LOVE it, though. it's from here, via mimi :) |

| 6 month punkiness is too much sometimes. |

so glad this dress fit because i was going to be crushed if she never got to wear it! it's linen, so she JUST made it (right, aunt jen??!). linen is perfect for labor day, so good job holland.
and just a quick ps: i just went in to check on hudson (not asleep) & he was sitting in his bed "reading" curious george to his monkey & elephant. he's fascinated with holding the book out, just like his teachers do. cutest. thing. ever. i should have told him to lay down, but i couldn't - it was just too cute. i remember figuring out how to hold the book that way - just like my teacher did :)
