preparing : for a certain boy's 5th birthday celebration
eating : this bread & jam and never tiring of it
feeling : very sappy and oh so sentimental about my baby boy (5? Oh my)
baking : dark chocolate cupcakes
thinking : the Five birthday shirt might be a wee bit late
waiting : for some of these bolts to arrive (!!!!)
drooling : over this new to me space
savoring : these last few days of summer vacation with all six of us together
thinking : sangria is in order for this weekend or perhaps this?
putting up : one last batch of peach lavender butter to smile at me in January
loving : the wishes that are filling up Luke's first birthday jar
in awe : of the almost five year old boy who sped down the sidewalk last night on his sister's two wheeled bike. wow.
Happy weekending to you all.
I grinned over so many of these things. I especially love your birthday banner. That is now officially on my to do list for THIS year's birthday events. I keep seeing them and wondering how complicated it would really be for a non-sewing girl. Our family birthdays are all between Sept-Dec. So, the reminder is perfect timing!

Now I'm wondering which batch of cupcakes that might have been. :)
(and if you could tell where that recipe came from so I could try to convert it to gf)
Happy Birthday, Luke!!! Have a wonderful weekend!

I was definitely re-baking after the pooch had eaten them! I'll share the recipe today :)

Thanks :) The banner I made is super simple.... I should do a tutorial here for it. Super easy & no ironing!
