It's that time of year

It's when schools starting to feel normal,

when you can lay outside and find shapes in the sky

when the weather is just about perfect,

when star gazing becomes a favorite past time,

when football starts to be a frequent topic of conversation,

when life is busy, but still enjoyable

and...

when it's my mom's birthday

Now my awesome dad decided to plan an awesome birthday for my awesome mom...I just have an awesome family. But i have to say that it was a lot of work. Like cupcake making, who knew it too so much work?!

The batter is most definitely the best part :)

(especially when you eat lots of it)

These would be the cupcakes i made...i have to say they were quite scrumptious so all that hard work paid off, and enjoying the day with my family as we celebrated my mom's birthday was a certain delight. There was a luau and everything! But next time i say we just buy cupcakes ;)

p.s. my dad would now like me to tell you how amazing he is...which he is! i love him so very much and appreciate him planning this birthday for my mom :) my mom definitely deserved it as she works so very hard for me as well.

After a wonderfully long weekend today was time to go back to school, if i didn't have such amazing friends then school would be more torture than it already is. But no matter how stressful school becomes there is always someone to brighten my day...like this crazy girl:

everyone...just accept the fact that we are slightly insane

This week is going to be a long one but hopefully it will still have wonderful adventures in it :)
