My family of three

Yesterday we made a caccckkk, err, cake on my day home. No special reason, other than she saw the box of mix while I was doing laundry and said "mommy, peeaassee cook caaccckk??" How can you resist that? Her newest phrases are "I do it" and "Cayeeeee do it" and " heeelppp youuuu". She wants to have a part in everything and we try hard to let her, though it isn't always the fastest or easiest, she loves helping. I let her put in everything but the eggs. She did manage to get one by me and crack it but luckily nothing came out! Yes, I let her lick the batter.

We ended up having Marissa stay with us for the weekend and had so much fun! We went to her game, which reminded me why I don't often bring her to games! She wanted to go on the field the whole time and "heeeelp mawiss payyyyy go go go!"(help marissa play go go go!) She was thrilled when it was over and she could run on the fiels and get her buddy! We tried to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we are currently having for November.
