Truck love!

I love this truck and pass it on my way down Grove Avenue a few times each week.  I have no idea who it belongs to, but I had to stop and take a photo one morning this week.  The falls colors weren't too shabby, either.

Fog

Last week we had a few incredibly beautiful foggy mornings here in the good ole RVA.  I had to get my camera out (despite two girls whining for breakfast and needing to get them fed and out the door to school!).

Gummy Bears

I saw this last night when I was browsing through the latest Uncommon Goods catalogue:

How cute, right?  And only $28! Find it here.

These are a little different and I like them more (better true-to-candy gummy bear shape), but they are $125 each here ($500 for a set of five, if you are so inclined).

Who knew there are so many choices when it comes to gummy bear lights?

Dream Car

Yes, my friends, I have a dream car.  How cute would I look bopping around town in this bad boy:

Yup, that's it.  A white Range Rover Sport with tinted windows. So beautiful.  Ahh....

I found them!

I want these stools:

I saw them while reading Design*Sponge last night, and I love them!  Now where, oh where, can I buy them?  Please tell me they are not $500 each!

Wish me luck on my hunt!

Thankful

Every afternoon over the last few days the girls have decided to change into their princess costumes, because, really, why wouldn't you wear such a beautiful gown if you have one?

I am so thankful for so many things, especially these little amazing girls:

P.S.  Yes, the leaves are out of control!

Today's Book: The Empty Pot

Last night I read The Empty Pot to L, and I was surprised to see how interested she was in a book that I thought would be over her head.  I learned my lesson: don't underestimate my children.  I did have to explain the word "successor" and I'm not quite sure she grasped that, but it didn't take away from her enjoyment of the story at all.

The Empty Pot is a lovely story of honesty and courage, and the illustrations are really beautiful.  We were given the gift by one of my husband's students when P was born, and it is one of the books that I come back to again and again.

I think I could be a children's librarian.  I love books and reading with my kids.  And I absolutely adore BBGB, a local children's bookstore here in Richmond, with fantastic owners and wonderful, knowledgeable employees.

They suggested we read The Doll People to P, and we all loved it.  So if you live in Richmond and haven't been to BBGB yet, go!  And bring your kids.  The shop has a cute and unique space for the children to explore, play, and read.

Hope you have a great day (and read something good!).
