birthday afternoons

 
yesterday was a red letter day for this gal! thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. i love an excuse to make a fuss over things and birthdays are my most favorite! (although i'd much rather save the fuss for everyone else and their days)

the weather was beautiful and so we took bare legs for a stroll and headed east while bub was in school. it felt so good to just be out! we toasted the day over good lunch and ice cream and window shopping. matt spoiled me with a new dress and a vintage map and cast iron scissors. and best of all i got to check something off of my 30 year old bucket list...# 18- find a perfume you like already! we stopped in a little paper shop and i found a tobacco-scented tonic that was perfect...a little masculine and a little sweet. apparently 30 year old katie prefers to smell like a bag of pipe tabacco.

we closed out the day with lemon cake and candles and a dance party before baths and good nights. i couldn't have asked for a better way to start out this new decade. and if you ever need to get a dance party going, invite max and bee. those two are party animals for sure!

speaking of ice cream...


while we're on the subject...the boys and bee and i stopped off in columbus' short north district to eat some jeni's splendid ice cream while we were in town over the weekend.
you can get small bits of jeni's around dayton, but there is something really special about being in a store..so much color and good flavors and smells (those yellow stools!)!

max fell in love with all the murals and people watching on high street, and really the whole city itself. he's making big plans to live in a big high rise in columbus when he gets a little older...the higher the better so we can watch fireworks and eat jeni's whenever we please, he says. 

i love that adult max wants to get ice cream with me...

afternoon in columbus


i hope everyone had a wonderful labor day weekend! 
ours was rainy and overcast...the perfect excuse for a day at a museum. we packed up the little ones and spent the afternoon in columbus at cosi, a children's science center in town.

max decided to wear every bit of green he owns, plus a little red war paint on his face, for the occasion. we ran around and twirled gears and pushed buttons, pulled levers and touched and read and learned all sorts of interesting new things...science-type things...like how amazing i look with my eyes crossed!


happy happy tuesday 
and hello there, september!
i can't believe it's time for you already...
