A week in quick review.


my little lovebug.

Finally, time to unwind and relax, here's a quick update post.

What I've been up to lately:

-

Letting Layla feed herself Pizza and be as messy as she wants, then immediately realizing that pizza sauce fuses itself with little baby's skin :)

-Practicing and getting better at hooping! Yes that's right I said hooping, I've caught the fever! I will hopefully get a picture up soon.

-Reading this book.

-Drinking chai tea in the morning...yummm.

-


Getting my zen on.

-Starting my handmade Christmas gift list, and trying to nail down all the materials I will need.

-finally getting a little girl time with one of my best friends of 16 years (wow!), and getting her into hooping. She had never been able to hoop in the past as a child but spun that thing around like a natural after I made her, her very own hoop! We could barely get a few spins out, without dying laughing at each other and messing up! It was just what I needed! As soon as my camera gets fixed I will hopefully be able to take pictures of our hijinks and post it.

-branching out and trying new recipes, like Butternut Squash with Farfalle and fried Sage...YUM-O!

What have you all out there in blog land been up to?

The Force Is Strong with this One...Layla's first Halloween Trick or Treating












I finally got the chance to post the photos from Layla's first Halloween that she got to actually go out and Trick-or-Treat!

The photos of her in orange are of her outfit she wore all day before she went Trick-or-Treating. The top and bottoms are actually a jammie set and the the tutu I made for her out of tulle and elastic! She looked so precious!

And boy did she have a ball out trick or treating! She finally got the the hang of what was going on and starting saying "Thank You!" when the people gave her candy in her pumpkin pail. Chandler went as a Jedi, I believe I was a Sith at the last minute and Layla of course as you can tell was Yoda!
Hope you guys had a wonderfully spooky Halloween/Samhain!
