Here’s what this past week looked like – My Everyday Life Week 40
Cooper turned 11 this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???
He’s lucky he gets to celebrate his birthday at school! I make treats for him to bring.
I always use my grandma’s muffin tin when I’m making cupcakes and that makes me so happy.
I bet she would be stoked I still have it!
His favorite are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting.
I add sprinkles to cover up my tired frosting skills.
He is worth the effort. His birthday is a grief trigger for me because I wish my Mom was around to see him grow up. She only got to be with him until 9. I am thankful it was that long though. He knows her and remembers her and says things she used to say and I am so grateful for that. It still hurts.
Took him out with a few of his friends to Benihana for lunch.
By myself…
Then I got stuck in traffic with 4 boys hopped up on sugar! Oops.
He wanted Super Duper for his birthday dinner. Who are we to to deny him?
Enjoying a sweet potato with maple syrup and coconut butter for breakfast this week.
I have a small streak of purple in my hair. It’s fading but it was fun for a bit.
We’ve had a few baseball games this week!
I’m the introvert watching up against a tree. I was loving how the shadows of the tree were cast on the grass…
Team mascot: Jackie Robinson
Rosie found the bed I made her right away.
I spent a lot of time shifting my office around this week. It’s been so nice to have it clean for a change.
Paper piles are at an all time low! HIGH FIVE, me!
Husband wanted this for dinner. Husband got this for dinner!
Quesadilla night.
A good weather day.
Husband got a new clear ice ball maker. He’s stoked.
Mama got a car wash.
Mums the word. I love plant puns.
I’ve been stalking a hummingbird all week. Actually, two. It’s a boy & a girl.
I’m not sure if they’re together, courting or fighting. It’s hard to tell.
Loot from Daiso.
Still tracking what I eat in my food journal!
Tiny in her favorite spot.
Deer party in our yard.
Pumpkin waffles and a chai latte to start the week.
Finishing the art on my Currently September page.
Tomatoes from friends!
THEY ARE SO GOOD and I am so thankful that I have so many friends who grow produce so I don’t have to!
Our neighbors gave us apples too.
A beautiful gift in the mail….
What a nice surprise in the mail 🙂 My handwriting embroidered!
