in love with my muffins

I feel LOVELY today. Mostly.
(minus the fact that i'm coming down with a cold. dear me.)

I have my jeans and blue t-shirt on. And i am completely satisfied. Literally. It's just that kind of day.

Little tykes sport camp.=♥

I made muffins for lunch. Banana muffins to be precise. (muffins make the world go round. true.) I burnt myself twice and made a BIG mess. Did you know i'm a messy cook? VERY. You have no idea. When i'm older, and married, i think my kitchen is always going to be a mess. (My poor future husband. Baha) And this equals LOVE.
Listen to it.
I was totally in the mood for it today.

Dance. Dance. Dance.

Hope you are having a smashing week.
Love, mandy.♥

my head is the sun

RECAP.
(my week)

Puppet shows. Done. And boy am i glad. My arm feel like it's been through a tsunami. Seriously. Two whole hours of holding my arm straight up.
Note: the last performance was the best. it always is.

And...

Bell blew out her candles this week. Finally. She is now officially nineteen. Good for her. I stuck them in a klondike. (After searching through the whole entire house for something to put them in.) We are practically cakeless.

I Gardened today. And i didn't enjoy it. Not in the least. Though every minute of it i was telling myself "i like this." Lying to myself didn't work. Darn.

Skype. is. love.
(most definitely.)

Tomorrow will be good.
Just cause i don't know what i'm going to do. I like days like that.

Happy week loves.

-me.
xoxo

i can be happy with just one sock

{photo via}

ME:
happy.
warm.
sockless.
listening to needtobreath.

i ♥ sunday.
church was beautiful. simply beautiful.

bell and i went on a little walk before church. i adored it with all my heart. we ended up sitting on a bench playing the car game. i count all the red cars, she counts all the blue. and i was happy. it's funny how doing something like that can make me happy. just me, my seester, and a bench. simple things. (though i wouldn't mind an ice cream cone. tehe.)

i took a nap. it was nice.
but i lost my sock. so right now, i'm walking around half sockless. i don't mind though.

something i realized today:
this might sound ca-RAZY, but i LOVE the kitchen floor.
and when i'm older, with my own house, i will eat my breakfast on the kitchen floor everyday. always.

five days till sand between my toes. mmm.

tomorrow is the start of a brand new week. love it.

tonight:
stargazing.

love...tandymandy

dear lovelies,
hope all is beautiful.

i'm trying my hardest to make my week a good one.
{but sometimes it's hard}
just remember to smile and all will get better.

long day.
i'm ready for it to be over.

i am dying for the sun to come visit. please.

listening to john mayer.
(half of my heart)♥

i think i'll go do some laundry now.
even though i hate laundry.
it's weird, cause i actually want to.

yours,
tandy

this and that

my blogging skills have gone down the drain lately. goodness.
here is a little mumbo jumbo of everything...

soccer. sunburns. and striped green dress.

the weekend was oh so good. i went to a little bbq with bell. it felt like we were in a "Napoleon Dynamite" movie. seriously. take a look here.

ria brought Starbucks home yesterday. it was most definitely delightful. believe it or not, she got me exactly what i wanted without me even telling here. that's how talented she really is.*wink*

reminder for me:
tandy, don't forget to put on sunscreen.

letters are being written today. i have o so many to write. i rather enjoy it though. so why complain?

and right now:

i have a hankering to watch "The Walton's"
i want to play tennis
and i wish i had a pie sitting in the kitchen.

(it's rather disappointing)

hope you all are having a terrific week.
love...
tandy

my lovely little saturday

i've been a lame blogger lately.
you can probably tell.
i promise to try to be better this week.

for sure.

saturday was just what i might call extraordinarily dandy.
i loved it.
a visit to the tea shop made me smile.we came across an amazing bridge on a little walk through downtown.
so we took pictures.
and got some weird looks.
but i liked it anyway.
and last was red robin.
i love that place.
the food.
all the decorations on the ceiling.
and even the waiter that got mad because we kept asking for more fries.
endless fries is suppose to mean endless fries right?
that obviously wasn't in his mind though.
i hope you all had one snazzy week.
start it off with a smile.
yours,
MissTandy

I have been making presents for Laria's birthday/Christmas.
It keeps me busy.
So many ideas in my head, so little time.
Dear me.

This week i was a water girl at a race with miss Laria.
Freezing cold.
Pictures to come just for you.

Hope life is swell.
I'm off to cook for Thanks Giving.

Ms.Tandy♥

a little random bit of life

It was raining today.
Then prayed that it would stop.
And...
it did.

Today was marvelous in my opinion.
I got muffins. I smiled. I secretly danced to Owl City for 10 seconds like crazy. And i even played hangman with Miss Bella.
I woke up extremely late this morning. Been feeling tired this whole week. Dear me. I can never get to bed early enough. Bad habit i guess. I'm glad that the weekend is finally here. You don't even know. *smile*

Soccer game is this Sunday.
I.am.excited.
Last weeks game i scored a goal. My first goal.
Think i can do it again{?}
I do.

I heard my parents say something funny today.
My mom:"Baby come here." My daddy:"Are you talking to me or the dog?"
They are cute.
She was talking to daddy if you were wondering.{♥}

I smell bread in the kitchen baking.
I'd be jealous if i didn't live here.

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend.
Love,
MissTandy♥

Enjoy this little video.

53♥potatoes♥and a cook off♥

Papa had his birthday.
♥one cake♥nine people♥and fifty-three candles♥
It was a heck of a time i do believe.
Even though the cake Miss Bella and Mama made fell a bit apart.
It still tasted good.
Yummo...


This week we went and volunteered at the soup kitchen with the family.
It was loverly.
I got to mash some potatoes.♥
I ♥ doing that.
We all had a v.e.r.y. good time.
{as you see below}
Last night we had a cook off.
Boys against girls.
Guess who won...
Yes, the girls.*smile*

The boy's side made these cookies......and the girls side made these...Lets just say it was interesting.
Anywho...

Tonight is an early Thank Giving dinner.
Who doesn't like having thank giving twice, right?
*smile*

Hope today is smashing.
Have a very spiffy weekend to come.
Love,
Miss Tandy

P.S.
