today.

this morning we had coffee and kiddie-cinnos

 (kid version of a cappuccino, aka: chocolate milk with whipped cream and sprinkles)
and read books

 we did a little housework, two loads of laundry,  made homemade donuts, 

took a wagon-load of food to our local food pantry, 

 played at the park, watched elvis in "girls, girls, girls".
we do love us some elvis in this house, cheesy, campy but so entertaining.

we hunted buckeyes, 

then

  hunted for the "best and prettiest" tree to eat our lunch under.

i think we found it.

but maybe most importantly, Charlotte got to climb a tree today, you know, because she's four now.

she keeps telling me different things that are

 easier for her or that she can do now,  just because she turned four.

she was quite proud of herself.

{check out the apple cozy. is that not the cutest thing ever?
 i won it last year in a give-away,  wish i could remember where...}

 what did you do today?
i am so glad it is friday. so, so happy to have this busy week over.
all of our october birthdays are behind us now, i am ready for things to slow down a bit.
 i hope you all have a great weekend!

p.s.- i wish i could get away with wearing bell-bottom jeans with pink faux-leather trim,
Woodstock socks and black kitty cat mary janes. don't you?
