Life Lately

The weather has been gorgeous and I think I can safely say summer is here. We've been spending quite some time in the kiddie pool, alone and with little friends. Kiddie pools are pretty much always a hit.

^^ He likes to scoop up the water with the measuring cup and drink it. Yum ^^

^^ My favorite treat since yesterday, frozen peppermint patties ^^

We did quite a bit of gardening yesterday. I planted this pretty purple flowering bush. I think it's called a "Hebe." It also had "Patty's Purple" on the tag. I'm not very familiar with it, but it matched the requirements (an evergreen bush) and so I got it.

^^ Jude thought he would help by chopping some wood ^^

^^ I also planted a little hydrangea bush, which as of this morning was nibbled on by some evil hydrangea eating deer! I am quite upset. If anyone knows how to keep deer from eating up their plants, let me know ^^

A bit of shopping (mostly browsing) was done in the past couple days as well. I'm currently lusting over the above pictured Fendi heels.

^^ And these Karen Walker sunglasses. I know they aren't exactly new news, but I always thought they were an overwhelming shape. They may still be, but I am kind of in love with them ^^
