September in MyTubo Pictures

I started using MyTubo on my Andriod phone, and I love it.  Here are some of my favorite images from the month of September.

Chocolate cupcakes, minus their Nutella frosting.

Feeding the fish on Labor Day.

Reading all three books in The Hunger Games series in a week and a half.

Belly Boo and her Uncle Blake...these two together make me smile.

Making jewelry.  So much fun.

Belly Boo playing with modeling clay and having so much fun.

Cheers to the weekend and having friends over for dinner.

My sweet little Mar-Mar.

Flowers from my love.  So beautiful and perfect for fall.

Sprinkles

Our Belly Boo is growing up.  On Labor Day we traveled out to Ephrata for a day of visiting and picnicking.  I made super yummy chocolate cupcakes with Nutella frosting, but waited until the traveling was over to frost and decorate them.  We had to pick a few things up before the picnic, and I found some perfect fall colored leaf sprinkles, so I snatched them up to put on my cupcakes.

Belly Boo was super interested in watching me frost the cupcakes (and sampling some from the bowl), so I let her help me put the sprinkles on the cupcakes.  She was very focused on making sure the cupcakes were well covered!

This makes me super excited to make yummy treats with me little helper around the holidays!

Why my kid is the coolest...

Today Belly Boo and I went to meet the hubs for a little lunch at Red Robin (Yum!).  I had a really yummy chicken wrap and we split a chocolate lava cake while Belly Boo nommed on some ice cream.  After we were done, Belly Boo and I headed to Target to pick a few things up.

I was originally going to get some new mascara, since I needed some badly, but while walking past the nail polish aisle, Belly Boo let out a chorus of "wows" and "ohs!"....so we stopped to look at them. 

Things I now know about my 2 year old:

• She has good taste in nail polish (she went right for the Essie bottles)
• She knows a good color when she sees one.

She picked out Essie's "Turquoise & Caicos" and wouldn't let go of the bottle if her life depended on it.  She gave it to the girl at the check out and held it in her little hands the whole way home, took it with her when she took a nap this afternoon, and has been carrying it around the house all night.  It's adorable.    

When she got up from her nap, I turned the movie Tangled on from Netflix and offered to paint her toe nails...she got all excited, gave me the bottle of nail polish and propped her tiny feet up on my leg.  She sat ever so still and let her toes dry without touching them.  It was adorable.  After he toes were done I painted mine to match (which she loved, and kept saying "yay" and clapping. 

 

Yup.  My kiddo is awesome.  And adorable.  And I love her so stinkin' much.

Photobooth Fun

Belly Boo and I had a little fun with Photobooth on the Mac this morning before I had to go to work.  She gets so excited when the webcam comes on!

Working Mamma-hood

The past two weeks (and two days!), I've been lucky enough to re-enter the working world.  Though training was a bit stressful, the past two days out in the store have been fantastic, and I'm so glad that I can be around adults again for a few hours every day!

That being said, I do miss my Belly Boo terribly while I'm working.  I know that she's having a lot of fun with her babysitter, and that really helps put my mind at ease.  I'm also really glad that I'm starting part time, because though I'm working, I still get to spend a good amount of time with her, and I get to cherish those days even more.  :-)

More importantly, I'm really excited about the bit of extra income that this will give us.  Though most of it will go into savings or towards doing things around the house, it will be nice to have a little extra to use as we'd like every once in awhile.

So working mamma-hood isn't all that bad.  It's a bit of schedule adjusting for everyone and making sure I get to bed early and make sure that everything is perfectly planned, but I'm loving it so far!
