Naked In The Herb "Garden"

A couple friends of mine have planted herbs in hanging shoe racks and (now that we are living in a house), we wanted to do the same! We ended up just buying the herbs in plants and re-planting them. We still have lots more herbs to plant, water and let grow but for now, two herbs was enough. (What are your favorite herbs to cook with? What else do you use them for other than cooking?)

Conrad had so much fun helping Dustin re-plant the herbs that we bought at Trader Joes. Scooping handfuls of dirt and standing up on the chair was fun for him. Both kids really enjoyed the dirt under their fingernails. I'm convinced that kids need dirt. They need to get their hands filthy and search for roly poly's and get a little dirt in their hair!

Elle had a tiny bit of a red booty, hence the nakedness....gotta air out the red-baby-butt!

She did try to eat a roly poly, but I put my camera down and saved his life before she could end it for the poor little guy.

That crazy, naked, bug-lovin' lady.

So this weekend is our anniversary. We're celebrating all weekend. Last night we enjoyed a little glass of wine and the most amazing chocolate cake from Bonjour, my favorite little bakery in town. We watched {this} animated short from the newest Wes Anderson film, Moonrise Kingdom, which we're going to this afternoon. Nothing like an afternoon date! Tomorrow night we're going to go have appetizers, drinks and dessert at Hanks, after the kids are in bed. We've enjoyed our late night dates since we've had Elle. It's nice to put them to bed and leave for a few hours.

{Have a relaxing weekend. I will be doing zero work and enjoying my darling husband of six years!}
