weekend recap

hey, madison! have you been to the winter farmer's market at capitol center? holy smokes, that gourmet breakfast is an absolute scene. we went this weekend intending to get some mid-morning breakfast, cooked up by one of our local gourmands from their rotating chef line-up, but when we saw the long line, the long wait and the crowd, we knew the toddler and the infant probably couldn't manage it. but then...oh, then we saw the food. it looked so good. we stood with mouths watering, watched the hippies and hipsters eating, and plotted our return next weekend. then we shopped for veggies, hit up the overture center kids' event, ate some lox and bagels at the old fashioned, and took the bus home.

thanks to our poor timing, there were no seats left at the overture center to watch the yo-yo guy. we were stuck peering down at the show through a hole in the floor. ramona didn't seem to mind, and made herself right at home on the floor.

these 2 are pretty serious bus riders. hold on tight, guys.

later, ramona got her first pedicure. i've never seen her sit so still, act so excited and curious. (except, of course, when i'm combing her hair. then, same thing. she loves it. she's so my kid.)
(also, sorry to people who don't want to see pictures of my feet. i guess that group includes me, because...yuck.)

lest you think it's all hair and nail time for the staples, ramona also got bundled up in her best moth-eaten packers stocking cap and did some dangerous ice-covered-boulder scrambling down at the only-sort-of frozen lakefront. this was obviously daddy-daughter time.

there was also some sibling time, including a little steam rolling on the floor,

and story time on the couch.
