My Little Cat Cora

I will confess - I leave the tv on most of the day.  It's background noise as I have gotten accustomed to working in an environment with a lot of chatter. 

Much of the time, the Food Network is playing. 

Lately, our evenings wind down as Iron Chef America comes on.  Miss Mia will clean off the kitchen table and run to the living room to see what Chef will be picked that evening.  We cheer when Cat Cora competes.  I like the entire "strong female in a male dominated world".  Miss Mia, well, I think she just enjoys rolling the "r" in Cat Corrrrrrrrrrra's last name.

After a long day of working in the office (with some overtime tossed in), I came home to a house smelling of chocolate.  Miss Mia and her daddy had baked a chocolate chocolate chip cake for me.  Miss Mia greeted me at the top of the stairs "Mommy!  I Cat Cora!  I COOK!"

The cake was yummy and I was ever so proud of my little Cat Cora!

Laundry Day

Sisters

Piggy Tails

I had to cut Miss Mia's bangs . . . they were getting out of control.

She kept moving and I ended up cutting more length off than I wanted . . . it was around an inch that I chopped.

She then wanted "Boo Hair" to show Daddy.

For those of you not in the know, "Boo Hair" is what the little girl has in Monster's Inc.

This should not be confused with "Gidget Hair" which are Piggy Tails at the bottom back of her head.

I love that we're starting to play more with hair!  I love love LOVE that she let me french braid it the other night before heading to bed!

Ahhhh . . . the cuteness!

Play Date(s)

We may be short on blood family, but our heart family is alive and growing!  Last Friday, we went to visit Mr. Connor and his family. 

Miss Mia was able to visit with her friend Cadin.  They played together so well - tearing the house apart and making Cadin's room appear to have exploded.

I got to visit with Tiff who I miss a ton!  Even though she and I aren't in the office the same day, we email daily  . . .   my weight loss and venting friend . . . my voice of reason and my sounding board.  My sanity.  Yah, I miss her!

The hubbies also got to be men and talk men stuff - while holding two cute little darlins!

Is there any better way to celebrate a Friday?

I think not!
