slumber party

you know your saturday night will pretty much be a blast from the past when these two faces greet you on the porch, promising you a slumber party like the old days.



after some play time in the sun, it was agreed that supper time it was.

behold, the magic of oxbow...

first stop: gott's.



hello heaven.

and the face of a boy who is told cupcakes are for dessert:


kara's cupcakes to be exact.



there is something so lovely about a long, pink box, erika and i concurred.


especially a pink box hiding such treats.


ever agreed to give just the frosting a whirl...


just a tiny bite...


and then he jumped, feet first, into a cupcake cloud...


for the grown ups, a ritual latte could not be resisted...





it truly is the best latte i have ever sampled...the foam is like butter. and is quite pretty too.


a full moon accompanied our drive home.


and our night ended with the following fun:

bathtime (always a good time)

book time (strega nona is one of my faves)

magazine time (searching for a hair cut - found it - thanks katie holmes)

bravo time (oh bethenny and real housewives of nyc - i have missed you)

reading time (erika's doula and childbirth literature was very informative)

thanks for the fun, e. you really know how to keep the old fashioned slumber party in style. promise we will still do this when we are white-haired old birds?
