last minute lunch date

with this little dude

because sissy was at school

and we were bored-

we ended up here

at the iron hen

who wouldn't want to have 

lunch with that face?

mama ate

vegan black bean cakes with 

red bliss dill potato salad 

and a "very good" deviled egg

little dude ate
sausage dog with homemade fries 
and a "very good" deviled egg


live in greensboro and want to eat here? 

because

on days like today

I look at them, smile 

and wonder how I got so lucky

I love them so.

but it only just begun

my summer will soon fade with a sizzle in the hot sun

and I'll start up the every day hectic schedule that 

school ever so slightly sneaks upon me. 

I'm not extremely excited about this summer semester

I've got a class that pertains to my major but

with a teacher whom I've heard is just a fill in

and solely uses tutorials to teach- I'm terrified.

this not only is a subject I'm not familiar with in design

but it's with someone who doesn't really know what

they are doing either- but no matter, 

I really am trying to stay positive and open minded.

summer sessions fly by with them only being five weeks long

and are beyond stressful and crazy 
so we will see but enough of that-

this short summer has been so fun and successful

and I can't forget the best part comes in July

when we take our family beach vacation.

I can smell the salty water now.

Adriana is still in school but only has a couple more 

weeks left so for her summer hasn't even started yet.

I have a lot of things planned for the kids 
around the Monday-Thursday class schedule-

I just won't be as free as I am now with time.

here is a part of our summer in instagram

which consists of play dates, good food, ice cream 

adventures, park time and everything in between.

 

happy summer!
