around town

So since I completely neglected my blog for over a month, I'm gonna do a photo dump! 

The following pictures are random photos from everyday life all around seattle.

Enjoy!

We bought $1 kites from walmart and played with them at the park for hours!

We weren't the only ones with the idea!

My summer flowers

Our community group had a hawaiian party one weekend and I was in
of signs and banners so this was my craft day!

Cherries from the farmers market

Babysitting Isabelle! She has four pet chickens and we took turns taking
them to the park/playground on a leash!
Needless to say, we were very popular at the park!

Another crafting day! Ben and I pulled these chairs out of a dumpster
and $10 later (a can of paint + a sandpaper block) we got pretty chairs for our back porch!

Mint oreo stuffed chocolate cookies for our bon fire & bbq!

Trying this color out on the wall.

I found this stud on my way home!

Ben and I go here often for date nights! It's a really cool outdoor environment
with a ton of restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream stores, retail stores,  an AMC movie theater and
outdoor firepits!
