today.

Friday, October 15, 2010


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?

  15. I'm reading this on a Saturday instead of Friday. Friday I was at work and it was boring. Today I slept in and woke up to a kitty biting my cheek. And read a good book too. Then I waited for the cable guy to come set up my internet!

  19. The first tree pic is amazing. Frame worthy, for sure.

    Don't we all wish we could get away with those ensembles?

  20. A sweater for an apple? Can anything be any cuter than that? Oh my...love it. And that mug of sprinkled goodness would bring major smiles around here.

    Growing up (before cable/VCR's/videos and DVR...way back in the dark ages), my sis and I would wait with such excitement for one of Elvis' movie reruns to come on TV. We were in love with Elvis!
