easter

hello lovely,
today was a lovely easter sunday! it was actually HOT outside. we did the usual: church, family pictures, lunch, nap, dye eggs, hunt eggs, nap. all in all it was a pretty swell day. yesterday we filmed a "wedding trailer." niles will be editing it soon and i'll share it with you all of course. the only problem was we filmed at a park full of ticks! it was gross. niles pulled 3 off of him, 1 was crawling on his ipod, i had one crawling up my leg, and we got 6 off captain! ick. here are some photos from the day.
happy easter!

my off the registry wish list

hello lovely,
niles and i registered at bed bath and beyond yesterday. we think we will do target and home depot next. it was fun to go around with that scanner and think about how we are going to decorate. though there were a few things i wanted, but couldn't find in a regular store. i love kitsch things! i want cute little unique pieces in my home. niles and i decided we want out house to look like what people in the 60s thought was modern. here are a few things you just can't find in stores.
