managing

having a decent holiday weekend thusfar. got a little frustrated today that we only spent 45 minutes of time doing what we (adults) wanted to do and spent the rest of the day catering to baby. she came down with a wicked fever last night and wasn't feeling so good. luckily, she's not being fussy, but to be on the safe side, we're just keeping her activities very low key (playing inside the house...meanwhile it's 80 and gorgeous outside). we arrived thursday morning and once the stores opened at 10, i hit the pavement running ready to buy everything in sight. sadly, i didn't really see anything i absolutely had to have. in the hour i had to shop before baby couldn't stand being in the stroller anymore, i bought this dress for baby at lilly pulitzer $88:

the past few days have been a blur. took baby to the beach on friday and saturday. it was a bit cool on the beach on saturday, so that's probably where baby caught a chill. there were a bunch of kids on the beach wearing a quarter of the clothes she was wearing, so i don't know. i'm always way overdressing her so, maybe she's not used to being on the cool side.

finally got back into town this morning to do a little shopping. bought this cute dress by oneill $44:

this mannequin must be 7 feet tall, because it just hits a couple inches above my knee. also, the dress has pockets which is always a bonus.

tomorrow is our last day here and i need to make the most of it. otherwise i'll go home feeling like something is missing. the fact that i've only bought these two things is quite a feat. a couple of nice things we've done while we were here was get reacquainted with the succulent donuts at the bake shop and the stop and shop pistachio gelato. mmmmm...
