Perfect day for garage-sale-ing! I picked up these intimidating weapons for $1... I have two, yes TWO on-going nerf-gun feuds that these will come in handy for. 
Kai and Sam had better watch their backs!* **

* It is NOT, I repeat NOT important to note that Kai and Sam are 7 and 10, respectively.

If you look closely you can see why they now call me "Ms. Penny-legs" at  work.  Also, who falls asleep on their extra laundry change?!?  I'm barely an adult.

Sometimes love looks just exactly like 7 people sitting in an auditorium for 4 hours so that they can watch you walk across a stage for 15 seconds while they clap loudly enough that you can hear them during said walk and know that you are so, so loved.
I graduated form the University of Minnesota on Thursday! M.Ed and teaching license in Early Childhood and Early Childhood Special Education. Woot! I'm looking forward to everything.

I mean, maybe it was a stay-in-bed-and-read-epic-biographies-about-kick-ass-women kind of day.

I love this statue! She can be seen in person in all of her bad-ass book-babe glory at the Minneapolis Central Library.
