Birthday Treats and Farmer's Market Finds

As I sit here tonight in 50 degree weather and cozy up with my computer, I can't believe Summer has come to an end. It has been awhile since I feel I can just sit, at night after the bambino is tucked away, and just blog!

I had not posted these shots and actually almost forgot about the end of Summer.

My birthday is always a great time of year for me for 2 reasons, it's my birthday of course AND Fall is right around the corner.

Well Fall is here and my birthday (August 31) and Harper's birthday (August 16) is well over and so is the Farmer's Market:( but the few pics will wrap it us for us!

On my birthday, I was spoiled with cupcakes, kisses, and the most delicious wine. Harper and I decided to goof off with the camera, well I did and roped her in, and she displayed her new smile pose, big eyes, and big cheese!

Gigi's Cupcakes, ummmmmmmm

Smores, Peanut Butter Goodness, Wedding Cake, Banana Pudding

My Honey knew what he was doing:)

Harper had a very special treat for her birthday. Our friends, Taneia and Mark, traveled to Paris and brought Harpie a little something special. It was a huge hit and she joined the collection of Harper's clan immediately. Thanks to them and spoiling our sweet girl.

She refers to them as Mommy's friend Taneia and Daddy's friend Mark when she talks about them.

Meet Miss Mary Mac. Her names for her clan now consist of:

Baby Lindsay

Baby Abbey

Dolly

Mary Mac

Olivia

Bear

Lorax

As we were walking into our last trip to the Farmer's Market, Harper looks at me with excitement and says "I get Milk and you get Coffee?".

Hilarious really.

She is now associating things and that was one of her first. It was quite sweet actually and I adore it was so much fun for us.

Harper picked out a bag full and lined it all up as soon as we got home. And of course, washed them all.

Harper's Garden

My planter of tomato plants became Harper's Garden this year. She has learned to harvest in style. ONLY THE RED ONES, is the only rule we gave her and she tried her hardest to abide.

In the afternoon after school, mornings on the way to school, or walking Moss out on the patio....Harper insisted on "Toe may toes."

Sweet Millions is what I planted this year and oh oh I will have them again next year!

We found a little something for her at our Yankees outing and I think it fits perfect.

I adore my little tom boy girly girl, she keeps it real for her Dad and I.

Thank goodness.
