and now.. because life never stops moving.. no matter how many times you pray for it to.. here is some of the “sweet” that happened these last two days!

starbucks with the kiddies.. which means.. yes.. my first starbucks egg nog latte.. and I bought Olive one of those cute kiddy drinks for a dollar.. that I have waited many years to do.. you can tell she felt special just to have one like her mama.. 

dont mind my old man bangs.. I was butchered.. and it was really windy out.. and I forgot my sunnies.. 

and yes.. it was windy out..  my peanut almost blew over to Abbotsford.. 

at least this woman LOVES the wind..

Olive also joined a band.. this photo was actually taken a week or so ago.. but how freakin cute!

and than there is this pumpkin loaf.. I have been trying to master it now for 4 months.. I first sampled it at my friends house on a play date.. and was in love.. I think she thought I didn’t like it and was eating it to humor her.. but believe me.. I don’t eat things if I cant.. I don’t have that polite will power.. I gag really easy.. and to me.. that is more rude than just saying no.. 

but this was my fourth.. and final.. attempt.. I kept making it wrong.. recipe from memory.. adding to much of one ingredient.. not enough of another.. and this morning. I finally made it .. and it is good! me and olive are enjoying it as we speak.. 

this however is one of my many attempts.. 

but today.. we rocked it..
