Lola had a birthday shout hooray!

Okay so this post is wicked late.  My baby girl Lola turned three a couple of weeks ago and I can't just let it go by without saying anything.  She is so so awesome!  She is a spitfire already.  You know that song whatever Lola wants Lola gets?  Yeah that is pretty accurate.  She is kind and funny.  She is already dealing with something that no one should have to deal with and she handles it beautifully.  As a matter of fact I think that she has the personality she does so that she can handle it.  She loves her big brother so much and it makes me so happy!  She is a free spirit- hence the picture from fall because that is the most recent picture of her with clothes on.  Girl hates being restricted!  She is a perfect fit for my little family and we love her so much!  So happy super belated birthday little one!    

Veggies!!!!

Some of the fruits (and veggies) of our labor!

Having a garden is so satisfying!  I am not sure what it is about picking a veggie that I have grown myself but I get a warm fuzzy feeling of pride.  

I guess it is extra gratifying because I usually kill plants.  Deader than a doornail.  I have the blackest of black thumbs.  It is like kohl it is so black.  Our garden must be growing so well because my babies sing sweet songs to them.

Back tomorrow with the continuation of the Photo Challenge!  I am a slacker.... sorry.

Happy Birthday Nicco!!

It is my sweetest boy Nicco's 4th birthday today!  Happy Birthday to him!  I am so happy that boy is part of my family.  He is gentle.  And kind.  He is so concerned about his little sister and it melts my heart.  They love each other so much that they hug after they get out of primary and nursery on Sunday because they missed each other so much!  He loves taking pictures and he is getting pretty good!  He is smart and funny!  He loves to wrestle and play games.  He likes drawing and doing crafts- which I love!  He is polite.  He loves to learn new things.  He always wants to jump in and help me cook.   Which stresses me out sometimes!  He has and is still having to overcome some obstacles and he does it with a smile on his face.  In so many ways he is so much more mature than his age.  I am getting choked up thinking about him growing up.  I remember the moment they put him in my arms.  It wasn't anything like I thought it would be.  He made my heart grow 3 sizes that day.  He got me to get my head out of my arse and start getting on track.  My little star shine!  Enough blubbering for one day!  We have a birthday to celebrate!
