Diaper Bags and Days Off

Good heavens, I love you people. I ask you about a diaper bag and over ninety of you offer an opinion.

I counted up the votes a day or so ago but now with additional votes trickling in, my numbers are all off and I am not motivated enough to recount. The long and short of it is that the gray one was the winner by a long shot. More than twice was many votes for that one, if the ratio didn’t change drastically at the last moment.

And now I have to pull together my courage and actually order it – it is so hard for me to actually BUY things. Especially not “on sale” things.

In other, non-diaper bag news, Bart got an email at work a few weeks ago saying he had three floating holidays that he had to use by the end of June or else forfeit them, so he has the next three days off.

Of course, thanks to our impending baby, we can’t really go very far, but we are planning on enjoying a fun few days

We kicked off the weekend last night by going to a free “Pops in the Park” concert. The Boston Pops is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year, so there are a bunch of free outdoor concerts.

We took a blanket and enjoyed the beautiful weather and gorgeous location (it was in one of the Emerald Necklace parks). What more could you ask for? Plus, the chance to casually mention you went to hear the Pops over the weekend.

 

 

You can ask friends to come with you. That will make it even more fun.

And Bethany brought these cookies that look like the kind of cookies that are pretty, but not particularly tasty, and then Bart and I each ate one and when Bethany offered to let us take home the last two, we didn’t even let her breathe before screaming “YES! THANK YOU!” They were divine. I think we may have frightened their baby.

So yes, so far a very successful week.

Also, we put in both our AC window units, which means I am no longer broiling to death in my own home. Happy end of June to you too.
