{Celebrating} Harper turning 5 (don’t be jealous of my mad cake decorating skills), Hadley turning 7 and having the most fabulous fall weather in all the land. Since we’ve moved to the DC area I think, this has to be the best fall ever and then the mid-atlantic region up and puts on another show again. Darn you DC for competing with my beloved Chicago skyline.
{Finished} baking two vanilla cakes with chocolate frosting, and 50 vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting for the girls’ birthday party, and twenty sugar cookies in the shape of hearts with the number “5” on them for Harper’s class. The other night Jesse walked into the kitchen to see me frosting some baked goods and he said, “What are you doing?!?!? Don’t you have a writing deadline?” I said, “I’m frosting cookies because I do it all, dammit! I. DO. IT. ALL.” I’m sure not one other woman has this issue, right? It’s just me? At any rate, it’s time for pumpkin pie baking.
{Enjoying} the red Starbucks cups. I’m sorry. I love them. And you all can hoot and howl all your want about how early they’ve come out but just change your thinking around and realize that this just means you get to enjoy them that much longer. (And it’s still coffee, black, that goes in there. None of this gingerbread, peppermint, eggnog stuff.)
Happy November to you!

Ha!
No, Callie, I so cannot relate to you.
🙂
Haha! Yeah, I figured. 🙂
A minor edit: “I do it all. AND THEN I DO IT ALL AGAIN!”
This is too true.
