Do you know the story Pinkalicious? Bea's sweet friend Soraya gave it to her for her third birthday and it was an instant hit. Then while vacationing in Vermont, Bea's Ammy took her to see the stage production of the book. Since then Bea often quotes the book and play to us. Inspired by the story, she also wanted to make some pink cupcakes. I had to oblige.
Once done frosting her pink cupcakes, Bea began to frost herself, starting with her toes.
::Love and apple pie::
For our 8th wedding anniversary, Beatrice and I made an apple pie for Mike, for they are his favorite and we also happen to have 25 pounds of apples in our fridge right now. I must say, it turned out pretty damn good, just like our marriage.
::Typical Mommy Blogger Goodness::
I don't really care how repetitive these titles are, or how I'm just another stay-at-homer who thinks she's some craft-master; I'm pretty psyched by this birthday gift. Thanks Gemma and Kiki!
::A Tisket, A Tasket, A 25 Cent Basket::
Love thrifting for baskets. Love this little one for my little girl, who spent the afternoon filling it with our pathetic harvest. My fault on the harvest, not hers. Her enthusiasm for the three tomatoes and skinny string beans makes it all worth it.
::Stand and Deliver::
Josie has begin to pull to stand up, as well as stand without holding on for longer and longer stretches. The pride in her face almost makes me forget that this is all moving too fast.
::Natural Born Killer::
Life with the Wheez is moving along pretty smoothly. She stays out most of the day and then cuddles up with us each night on the couch. She even nabbed her first mouse. This Indoor/Outdoor Cat-Thing may just be the pet I have always wanted.
::One Last Time::
To Houghton's Pond, to swim and dig, under cloudy skies but surrounded by warm, humid air. Happy to be covered in sand and sorry to say good-bye to a summer that didn't get going until it was too late.
