dippity-do da
today on my way back to work after visiting Z-dog at home (making sure she hadn't melted into a puppy puddle), i stopped at trader joe's to get some icey cold treats for my co-workers.

but the ones that said yes were Super Psyched! only crazy fools don't love chocolate covered frozen bananas.
Cirque de Bebe
we had a baby shower for SIL Kelly back in february.
it had an amazing theme: cirque de bebe. It was like a french circus, with plastic zoo animals in glass bowls (resembling their natural habitat), big colorful feathers, french-themed foods (quiche, french macarons, ratatouille).

2. sugar snap peas:
