a letter to russia

my dearest kelly ann,

i have a confession.
i did something really selfish the other day.
i was perusing the isles of our favorite store...TJ MAXX when i struck gold.
(going 6 times and not finding anything is worth this moment! 
you know exactly what i mean.)
i found a blue striped relay terry 3/4 sleeve JUICY hoodie.
you would LOVE it.
the price you ask?

originally: $148.00

TJ maxx price: $59.99

clearance price: $39.00

i quickly scanned for another one 
(even though your birthday isn't for another 4 months)
and there was only ONE!

here's the confession part:

i decided to keep it for myself.
(gasp)

will you forgive me?

i just couldn't help myself.
to make up for my selfishness, 
i promise you'll get a fabulous birthday gift!
cross my heart.

i knew you would understand.
you always do.


i also scored these crazy cute pj's for paisley.
only one pair of these too. 
can you imagine her cuteness chubs in these?
 i had to get them.



that was friday.

saturday included:
sleeping in,
breakfast in bed courtesy of david,
working in the garden as a family,
 (we prepared our garden beds in the back to plant our veggies next week!)
doing yoga with both my boys,
attempting to cut kavi's hair, 
napping, 
and a little bit of sewing.

it was the perfect saturday.

paisley is sick today, so i am home from church. 
before david left, i put on my lovely hunter clogs
and picked a bunch of daffodils from the yard.
the lady before us planted them all around the edge of 
the property and they are blooming like crazy. 
daffodils are my favorite. 
when i was young, my dad grew them by the acre (almost.)
my mother and i would set up a stand and sell them on the side of a small road.
my mom is so frugal!
anyways, they're beautiful and you would love 
these fresh flowers at the table.


that was my weekend.

i hope yours was just as perfect.
i'm sure more adventurous in russia.
i'm excited to hear about your travels.
we NEED to chat when you get back to sweden.

i love you!

delightfully yours,
shay
