Best Intentions...

Yes, I do have best intentions with posting updates on my blog.  Seems that there is always one more thing to do before I settle down to the computer to add a post.  Life is great and busy.  Wait, did I mention life is busy?  That is an understatement.   The good news is that it is busy with really fun things like walking Lily to school and being able to spend some additional minutes with her in the daycare a few times a week;  walking the dog all together and enjoying the beautiful days of fall; baking, cooking and eating...yes, lots of eating.  Lily is an eating machine just like her Uncle Dale.  Don't know where she puts it ....voila, it just disappears. 

I have opted for much less TV for both of us.  As a single parent I have to put my hand up to say that the TV goes on so I can run around and get ready for work in the morning.   With all the new shows this fall it is so easy to get suckered into watching many of them especially when the weather turns colder and all you want to do is throw your PJs on and cuddle up on the couch  with a blanket.  I am saying "no" this year and sticking to a few that I can record and watch once a week.  I will let you know how that goes.

We celebrated Lily's 3rd birthday on October 1st.  Had lots of her friends from our street for a fun playtime.  Playing at the park first and then back to the house for moustache tattoos, crafts, food and double chocolate cake.  Mama only put 2 candles on the birthday cake until someone shouted out "Lily is 3"...oops.  Add one more candle and do a re-take on happy birthday.  Lucky girl got two wishes.

Here are some shots of her birthday:

Oops Mama forgot the third candle

Much better and take 2
