Coiffured Creature

We found these giant strawberries at the grocery store this week and knew they had a higher calling to fulfill: 
dipped in chocolate.
Fingers and spatulas were licked,
but we had to wait until that chocolate hardened just a bit.  Plus we needed some ingredients for Ryan's lamb pitas.
So we took a walk.
I admired these shoots preparing for Spring.
We dug in Ryan's wallet and found some cash to take a walk on the pier.
We enjoyed the view,
we bothered the fishermen,

and we bothered the fake surfers.
To come back for an appetizer of a most appealing kind.
The weekend, however, was almost ruined for this equine enthusiast.  Azure gave Whinny a bit of a mane cut to which Pearl responded with big sobs that her heart was crushed and life was not worth living--my words, not hers.  
She finally agreed that making a hat for Whinny just might be an okay fix.  
A strapping remedy for the freshly coiffured creature. 
But, more importantly, it made my hotandcold child warm up once again, which is very important indeed for this household.

  13. Ben and I 100% approve of that hat over here.

    And I almost believed the "life not worth living" words were hers.

  16. Hey Katy - I stumbled upon your blog today and was instantly enthralled, as I was clicking through I saw this post and the surfer and was like oh my goodness, I think we live in the same city! Sure enough after seeing your birth story with Clover it confirmed my suspicion - we even have the same midwife, small world! I love your blog and you have a beautiful family.
