I know this is not anything new lately! Another Recall...

Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough....E Coli! Really...that's just plain gross!!!!! Another reason to make it from scratch...did you know you can freeze your dough if you do double batches?! I just make little sliced rounds or mounded rounds. Pull out what you want to bake, allow to thaw (in fridge!) and cook as normal.

Christmas...

We made cookies for Santa and for ourselves! I ate way too many of those yummy sugar cookies!

Little Man got his 'Battle Inside the Death Star' lego set....we are still working on that thing. We're only half way there. That set came with a 1" thick, 15"x9" spiral bound instruction manual!Tall Girl got her pony! Well she got a halter with his nameforgot and did it to where it comes out sideways on my camera...sorry! But you can see what happened.

October...

I love the fall season. I only wish that we had more of it here. It pretty much goes from green to brown after our first frost. The only trees that seem to change color are the horrible Tallow Trees. The air is cooler, a breeze flows most mornings and soon it'll be crispy cool out there. Fall is a much welcomed change to the July and August

We love visiting pumpkin farms, seeing the fall decorations, carving pumpkins, making costumes for Halloween, eating lots of pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread and my pumpkin cookies that the recipe calls to be frosted, but have never been since no one in this house can stand to wait for me to do so and honestly are really good without it! I plan to take the kids to a corn maze and I want to put together a Harvest Party.

I saw this pic of a pumpkin carved...I thought it was funny. Gross...but funny, LOL !
