Music Monday

I am so greatful to a friend, I think, for introducing me to The Puppini Sisters.  The girls love this song and a couple others  like Spooky and ...


 Love finding new music to introduce to the girls and this one was a hit!

What new song has you humming all day?

Blue no more...

Looking out my kitchen window and saw this little beauty and could not help to feel a bit lighter. 

Remember to: Never regret a day in your life, “good day gives you joy while bad day gives you experience”. Both are important for a successful life

Hope everyone has a bright and blessed day ;)

What did you do today ?!?!

Playing with a new Meme today... Friend Makin Monday over at Silver Lining.  This week is  Today...

 Walked  two sweet girls to school...  started 2nd and 1st grades ;)

Walked one sad Pumpkin back home for some Mommy School :) 

Ran some errands... my favorite aisle at the Asian Market {Japanese Crackers}

Now Pumpkin and I are just waiting to go and get her sisters from school and hear about all the fun things that they did today. :)

We hope that everyone had a great start to their week and we will see you guys later!

It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our tears.  We are tied to the ocean and when we go to the sea ~ whether it is to sail or to watch it ~ we are going back form whence we came.

Peanut's Special Day

Yesterday our little Peanut turned 6 ;)

Last week she picked up

from the library and it was such a cute little story that it was the inspiration for her special day.  The girls had so much fun listening to all the different toppings used to help turn a Plain Vanilla Cupcake into something special.  The most interesting part (for me) of the story is that there is a recipe in the back of the book to make your own cupcakes and icing. 

 
So of course we will be using these recipes and the girls imagination to make yummy treats.

Here is our dry run, literally ;)

And voila our cupcakes decorated by today's special little baker

All the Munchkins, even Hubby, liked the cupcakes ;)  Yay! another recipe to add to our growing dessert category ;p

Pumpkin was very confident that she "...can do it all by herself!"  but Mommy did not want to put out any fires ;)

 

 Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuu!

 Me and my Not so Little Girl :)

Yum! Yum! Cookie Time!!!!!

I think that this is a BRILLIANT idea from Melissa at Operation Nice.  So what LML (Love My Life) moment did I have today?!?!?

I am Blessed to have three girls that LOVE to eat even those pesky Green Veggies, Yup they love 'em.  So when I go off and do something like this I do not feel like a BAD Mama ;)

{Monster cookies for my little Monsters and the decadent dark chocolate raspberry filled cupcake for Mochi Mama}

LOVE this Idea so much I would like to start a Blog Party to share those little moments that make us So happy and blessed today.

Just one of our favorite songs here at the house - but what I really love is hearing Pumpkin singing and dancing with this song.  It gives my heart wings and I get a smile that lasts all day ;)

Rain + 3 girls yeilds...

Giggly, wiggly mayhem ;)

With the heat the last few weeks we have been house bound during the day and today we had a little reprieve with some lovely rain.  How could I refuse the three little faces when they asked if they could go out and play?!?!  I know when I was little (okay even to this day) I love to play in the rain, so out they went.  And it went a little like this...

Unadulterated joy ;)

 Pumpkin showing off her cheeky side 

Peanut's singing in the rain, Just singing in the rain!

Oh, no!!!  It's stopping... 

=D

When was the last time YOU played in the rain?
