do we have a birthday here?

well, we did.

in fact 2 birthdays.

Cory and my birthdays are 5 days apart.

and my parents are both born in October-

and a couple of in laws. and I know there are a few cousins too.

what a great month.

I made some red velvet cupcakes for my birthday.

so delish.

here is maggie cleaning out the tube I put the batter in to help get it into the cupcake cups a bit easier.

sweet red lips.

it was on Monday. my birthday, that is.

I was treated to a crepe breakfast by my sweet visiting teachers.

then I took myself to the titanic display at the science center- because I had a pass,

but found out the pass wouldn't get me into the titanic part, had to pay extra for that.

it was interesting- but I was thinking it would be better.

then supper and red velvet cupcakes.

then I was in bed, and asleep by 9:30.

it is official. I am now an old lady!

and Cory's birthday.

low key.

we don't really go big for birthdays.

and the older you get, the less fuss you want!

sort of!

I am doing a wellness challenge with a group of people.

one of the things is no sugary snacks.

but sunday is a free day.- and then you can have one other day with out losing points, so Monday was my free day- it being my birthday and all.

so I am really hoping that I can hold out, and there are still some cupcakes left on Sunday, so I can eat some more.

if I do eat sugar, I just don't get a point for that on that day- it is hard, but I think I have been doing okay.

sugar is definitely the hardest part for me on this challenge!
