1) while i was kissing Early Bird goodnight she told me she had made her list for Santa. she only asked him for three things; 1. Giggly Goo (Brother Bear from The Berenstein Bears had asked for this on his list. I'm thinking it's similar to flubber), 2. a new dress (shocker!) 3. and a rocking horse (hmmm.... not sure where she got this but ok!). Overall, not too shabby!
2) we've had almost non stop rain for the last week and i'm officially OVER IT! A few days, ok, but both Early Bird and i are starting to go a little stir crazy. there's only so much baking, crafting and decorating two girls can do.
3) speaking of baking & crafting. this week we have made pumpkin snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, salt dough ornaments, homemade present for some special people (can't say too much here. not sure who MIGHT be reading this ;), our version of an advent calendar and of course decorated. If it starts to warm up not sure we'll be doing too much more inside.
4) My Favorite Things list continues (Oprah style!):
my ugg boots
let me start by saying the ONLY reason i remotely like these is because they're comfortable (ok, I LOOOOVE that they're comfortable). NOT because they look nice. and that's all i have to say about that!
Bumble restaurant in Palo Alto, Ca
I freakin LOVE this place! It's waaaay cute, serves the best and healthiest food and it's AWESOME for kids, as in, the local owners kept families in mind while redoing this old house.
there's a separate play area in back just for the kids. the parents can sit and eat (and watch their kids through the fish tank) while the kids play. we've been to it many times!! it's a hit with Early Bird too.
pecan pie bars
can't say enough about these! yuuuum!! found the recipe here.
5) random photo of the day:
this is what we woke up to this morning. olivia was kind enough to bake us cookies during the night!
