ten on tuesday

image from rifle paper co. - my new love! 

1. this video might be the coolest thing i've seen in a while! it makes me really excited to take ruby in september. it also makes me wish i could have gone in the fifties.

2. ruby is so close to walking. she cruises along all the furniture and can even brace herself against the flat wall. i don't know how to feel about a mobile baby. she also can pretty much crawl up the stairs. which is funny because she still can't really crawl. 

3. more on ruby: she's cutting all four molars. she is pretty much miserable. all. day. long. and the night too, now that i think about it.

4. 7-11 is this week! which means not only free slurpees, but 4 years of dan and candace. has it really only been four years? 

5. we spent the fourth of july in denver with dan's favorite cousin jason and his family. (i'll post more pictures from that later!) but, we came back with a souvenir! a fancy-schmancy bike trailer for miss roo! we have already been on a bike ride and it really is so much fun. 

6. i really want to make this for our picnic table in the backyard. but i'm thinking more of a red - yellow - blue color scheme. 

7. dandyroo designs has become a whole lot more legitimate over the last couple of weeks! i have business cards, a facebook page and have sold a few paintings to people i don't even know! you can sell stuff to your friends till doomsday, but when people you don't know what your stuff you know you've made it. and it's still fun so that's great! 

8. i still really want to do a favorite things party, but i just ran across this party and think it sounds like a perfect fall girl's soiree! 

9. speaking of fall, dan and i have already started brainstorming costume ideas because we're just like that. but they're semi-top secret for a bit longer. these hot summer days make me crave cool, crisp autumn. 

10. have you heard of the rifle paper co.? i pretty much love everything. it's really a good thing i have self-control. that's all i'm saying.
