I get it…

September 19th, 2010

  If you were anything like me as a child.. the odd times your mother brought hot chocolate into the house.. it was like heaven.. I actually never liked hot chocolate.. but I loved to steal the single packages and take them on my walk to school.. and inhale the powder until my teeth formed a nice layer of sugar bugs.. and than I would start my day with either slurpees and lickerish for lunch.. or I would splurge and get the cafeteria fries.. my poor mother and her homemade lunches just literally rot in my locker..  

but now.. its like all of a sudden.. I am surrounded by this frozen hot chocolate rage.. I first heard about it on Kelle Hamptons blog.. when she went to New York.. I never saw the movie Serendipity.. so I was a frozen hot chocolate virgin.. than my sister started talking about making them!! ok.. that is twice in a couple weeks.. than.. I received a can of Serendipity frozen hot chocolate mix for my birthday!! ok.. that’s 3 for 3. I am trying it now.. I really think whipped cream would have made it over the top.. but I made it per instructions.. so when Dust and Olive were napping yesterday.. I pulled out the blender.. and started brewing.. I normally don’t like things blended with ice.. for no reason other than it takes away the flavor.. but it was like I entered a giant worm hole that tunneled me to my mothers house..  back when I was opening my mothers cupboard and stealing that white package once again.. it tastes just like that.. the package mix.. except.. now you drink it! it was good.. 

the actual New York version.. 

my version..

to me.. everything tastes better in a fancy glass.. 

this little peanut is owning me lately.. 

everything about her.. I love it all.. we have so few bad days anymore.. I feel spoiled.. she is getting her own little personality.. and things she likes to do.. we cannot go for a walk anymore without her dear friend “Lucy” joining us..  and trying to get her in a car is like pulling teeth.. she has little legs.. and she likes to use em! I think I am also realizing that these are our last little moments together for me and my little first born.. and soon it will be the three of us.. telling her to look out for the baby.. and quiet please.. your little sibling is sleeping.. but for now.. she gets me all to herself.. October cannot come fast enough! I am getting so excited for the pumpkin patch.. ironing leaves to wax paper.. and walking around the town center in toques and scarves and our faces are Popsicles.. but we are having fun.. 

some of my favorite olive photos.. 

and the best part of today.. I thought it was Monday.. and I had to work.. but no.. it is Sunday!!
