15-10

happy tuesday!

hope your labour day weekend was fun...

had such a fab weekend!

spent time up north with my sis, Mary Ann and my adorable munchkins.

great cool weather.

it was so relaxing and serene.

went to an awesome farmer's market + had the chance to go see their version of

'taste of chicago' called 'taste of madison.'

it was packed with all sorts of vendors...

lots of fresh veggies/fruits, flowers, asian, smoothies, cheese + bakery booth galore.

the only weird thing was that it was a one-way walking traffic...

it really felt like lemmings to the sea...

try walking against traffic...it was like getting a death wish...or

like fighting to swim up stream (or even worse, getting brutal glares of

death from an angry mob...that was scary...)

{will post pics of our excursion soon...had to borrow my sissy's camera as i was such in a rush to get on the road,
i totally forgot my sweet camera, auggh!}

sis made a delicious mango salsa...wish i took pics of that but forgot my camera.

it was simply delectable!

my lil' mini trip with the kids was really nice.

nice hangin' with my sis+bro-in-law~an early wedding anniversary celebration for them-

8 beautiful years of wedded bliss...

{bonne anniversaire, sweet reya and big joe!}

good company, good rest...recharging the batteries to start working on many upcoming projects,

now that's a good thing.

very nice weekend...sad to end summer but will treasure those tiny but incredible moments...

moments of time...

lifetime of memories...

bons temps

xoxo
