I WANT TO MAKE THESE

yes i love mini things, yes i love holidays, yes i love cupcakes, yes i love baking..... ahhhh i really want to make something like these little turkey cupcakes!!

chilean miners to play soccer game against their rescuers??

i love soccer, and i love that all the miners have been safely rescued. i think it's cool they're doing this :) ...but i also thought the presidents joke ("The winners will get La Moneda [the presidential palace], and the losers will have to go back into the mine") was a little too soon.....

baby fig newtons!!!

lately have started to really like the whole grain fig newtons. i asked my mom to pick some up, and she brought home these adorable little baby fig newtons!!!! :)

just some stuff i have been doing while trapped in boston.

went to an ok go concert at brandeis. i love ok go, and they were awesome live. it just was kinda wierd cuz the crowd was not that fun.... like the whole place wasn't filled up and not that many people were dancing. i felt bad cuz i had dragged my sis along with me, but oh well.

cool guitars!
they had these light up letters on their backs
confetti
main singer went out in the crowd
random cow bell/i dunno what instruments they were

cool background images
i think this was the opening band.... forget who it was

plants

ok finally! long awaited update of my plants.

to recap, planted adorable mini flower pots with some seeds, they grew a ton, fast, had to be moved outside, i was worried about cold weather setting in, but they're doing ok. no flowers or buds or anything, but still growing.

i think these are the basil i planted last minute... got the seeds from pierce last year lol.

these are strawberries i think:
the sunflowers! so tall:
and these are (can't remember what order....whoops) lemon basil, daisies, and forget-me-nots:
tomatoes:
