August 9 - Dickie Dee

Summer conjures memories of the ringing bells and chasing down the ice cream man. Well, the Lil' cupcake is still too small the chase the ice cream man, but when she heard that song playing, she started to dance.

She wasn't too sure about the popsicle, she is not really a fan of things too sweet, but she thought it was fun to push the popsicle up and out of the package.

Back to work. We're having a serious case of the Monday's in our house. Defiant dog and garage door opener makes for one late mama to catch her LRT. Oh well, that is how some Monday's are.

The Lil' Cupcakes didn't have the greatest sleep, up coughing quiet a bit, poor girl, but she woke up pretty happy any ways. Please don't mind the messy hair, she has this thing now where she doesn't want to wear barretts anymore.

Lunch is pack and ready to go to school. AKA Daycare

The day of rest, Sunday, but not for me. So much to do. Drop off cupcakes, the cake form to eat, not the dear daughter. Clean the house, grocery shop, visit parents and friends and play with family.

Today was a busy day, like any day in our house, so here's a quick photo. A product shot from Toot Sweet Cupcakes.

Saturday, August 6

Day off, Woo hoo. Today I made some deliveries for Toot Sweet Cupcakes and hung out with the family. We didn't have much planned for the day, but we went and checked out the Habitat for Humanity Restore to see what was there. We found a potential front door.

After that, we thought we'd take the Lil' Cupcake to an indoor playground. Fail! Londondarry doesn't have one. Boo! So instead we just walked around and found the kids mall rides. So the Lil' Cupcake had her first spin. She didn't mind it at all, especially the bus.

Thought I'd post a picture of the scene I see five days out of the week. The Legislature and all the debris, dust and construction. The City of Edmonton is currently revitalizing 108 St. to make a promenade area/ pedestrian friendly roadway and update the Legislature grounds. Apparently this will be completed in 2013.
For more information on the revitialization, check out the City of Edmonton.

This year I was so excited to plant a garden in our yard. I wanted two, one for flowers and one for vegetables. I am so proud, my gardens are doing so well.

Calla Lily blooming so beautifully.

August 3

This day/post has been a long time coming, three years in the making to be exact. Over three years ago, I met a wonderful group of women, we were all planning our weddings. Yeah Weddings.

Three years later, we are all starting families and best of friends as ever. For one of our friends, starting a family has been a challenge, they have had a few losses and finally 12 days ago, our newest WBbaby was born. A beautiful little girl who we were all waiting impatiently for.

Since the births of the first three babies, we have been diligent in taking photos of all the kidlets together. This photo has been a long time waiting and I know I speak for all my friends when I say, this couldn't be a sweeter photo and I know for years to come, it will only get sweeter.

The WB Babies: Ms. A (12 days), Cupcake (13 months), Mister H (14 months), Mr. C (1 year) and Muppet (5 months)
