breakfast muffins

Recently a friend gave us some

breakfast muffins.

Apple-mocha breakfast muffins.

With nuts.

And a light brown fluffy icing.

Yum!

But Emma says they were not muffins.

She says that they were

cupcakes.

Charlee agreed.

Because of the icing, they claim.

But I'm here to tell ya that this weekend

at a party for Remi

I had a cupcake.

I was totally looking forward to it.

Creamy orange icing with fall sprinkles.

And then I discovered

the cake part

was 

banana.

Not banana flavoring, banana pieces!

Clearly...a muffin.

With icing.

So I'm not sure where the line is

differentiating

the muffin

from

the cupcake.

But this I know: do not disguise

your banana muffins

as cupcakes

with orange icing.

Ewww. 

bears

Remi is home sick today

;(

So she's drawing pictures
of bears

with her new

monkey pencil

from

the pencil machine at school.

She just asked me:

Mommy,

what do bears eat?

Besides people.

the ultimate fall fun...

Fall is not Fall without

~TrIcK-oR-tReATiNg~

Jessie:

And Woody:

The cutest Toy Story couple:

Remi the pretty kitty:

Emma hung with the big people

(us)

and dribbled her

soccer ball

around

all night:

Parker was the cutest

trick-or-treater

out

trick-or-treating

for sure!

I had her snag

a 3 Musketeers.

For Emma.

Cause it's her fave:

But then Parker decided it was her fave too:

But the funnest treats

weren't treats at all:

'Twas a fabulous Hallows-eve!

Couldn'ta asked for more.

Even if I did

try the girl's patience

to get this pic:

more fall fun...

Fall is not Fall without pumpkins!

Step one: pick 'em

Step two: cut 'em!

Step 3: light 'em

fall fun...

Fall is not Fall without a festival.

Or two.
But this year we only made it to one.

(October was cRaZyyy!)

Here's my favorite pic from the festival.

Cause it's all about

Remington

ya know!

And this is my other favorite.

Cause Emma's

letting the baby

chew

on a stick!

busy and tired

So my days are too busy to get stuff done.

And my nights are too busy

...with my mind running...

to sleep.

It keeps going and going...

-emma bday present?

-parker bday party?

-mark calendar; soccer schedule and remi parties

-call about camera lens DROPPED over fence by fedex!

-make christmas list

-drawing for grandma's christmas?

-need to wash car!

-need to reset oil change light on car

-need stuffed animal for remi girl scout event

-does charlee need supplies for art?

-still need to go by hobby lobby

-bags of exchanges and returns piling up, gotta get that done

-make e and p check-up appts

-grocery store!!!

-email about gymboree christmas party

-never got phone bill!

-call insurance about NOT changing e's meds

-and of course...gotta stop thinking and go to sleep!

So maybe now that part of it's in black and white my mind can stop.

Maybe soon I'll knock the list out.

Then I can start on a new one.
