cupcake friday {not according to plan}

Boyd and I went for a cupcake yesterday morning,

although we both have crazy allergies right now,

I knew he was tired,

and I was a bit moody.

The cupcakes were good, I had neopolitan.

Boyd took 2 licks of his vanilla cupcake and wanted to leave.

Such is life.

I snacked on this corn salsa yesterday.

It is so SO good.
My friend Kim keeps the jars and put flowers, etc in them.
I'm going to do that too, they are so cute.

Look at these gorgeous poblano peppers, 

from our friends Melynda and Kathy, that they grew at home.

Thank you M & K!

I cut them up to use in fajitas last night, but we decided to have them today instead,

because Kevin had a big lunch yesterday.

I can't wait to cook with them today.

Then Boyd asked if we could do some leaf rubbings,

because he has done them in school.

We picked some leaves from the back yard,

and made these.

Sweet Boyd is having trouble with that last letter in his name.

Boyd wound up writing on the fridge, the bathroom counter, and the kitchen tile,

with his crayon.

On "accident". 

hmmm.

I decided we should go outside and play,

and enjoy the weather before this cold front hit.

We are not going to be out of the 50s today and tomorrow.

So hard to believe.

Anyway, we had a good afternoon playing outside,

at first.

Then a neighbor, who I hardly know, came to visit, 

and it got a little chaotic and I felt like my space was invaded,

and I sort of lost my mind.

I won't elaborate, but I was not neighborly, and I need to work on that.

I felt awful for the way I acted.

Then Boyd's friends had to go in,

and well, you know.

Yesterday was really comical when I think about it.

Just because I have an idea of how I want the day to go,

it certainly doesn't always work out that way.

At least the corn salsa was GOOD.

I'm off to make some coffee,

then fajitas later,

and hopefully stay warm and cozy inside with my boys all day.

enjoy your weekend.

love,
