baxtering it up + trip to detroit

friday maggie and austin came over and i made kabobs, corn on the cob, and this amazing fruit pizza thing. soooo good. (here is the recipe. i used strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. so easy and delicious!) i had planned to do one of those day in the life posts but my camera broke this weekend and i hadnt taken off the photos yet. boo hiss! so my parents are going to give us an early christmas gift and get us a new one. anyways so no pictures of the little cookout we had. just imagine four people, two babies, and yummy food.

my parents came home from a week in chicago and came over straight from the airport. they said they just didn't feel like going home and instead made plans to drive up to detroit and go to greenfield village. (sidebar: i grew up in a house of major history buffs.) we had so much fun! rode a train, got some ice cream custard (what the heck is the difference by the way?), augustine couldn't stay off the carousel, went swimming, i even bought olive two bonnets. my parents slapped bonnets on my head at any opportunity.

proof --



she looked sooo adorable, not that i have pictures to prove it. *grumble grumble* i got silly excited about getting room service. for me that just screams excessive pampering but also a nice luxury so i indulged. augustine slept with my dad as he loves to do, in their room and i conked out with olive. david said we were sleeping in the same position. i like that.

ok augustine is yelling. i should go
