Wordless Wednesday

The PERFECT fall recipe is . . .

Pretty Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

I made these last night and they turned out so incredible good that I just had to share the recipe! This is a big batch so I divided them up and shared with our friends, they had a nice Sunday evening surprise! I did need to double the batch of icing, we like generous amounts of the stuff on our sweet rolls, who doesn't? :) This pic was taken before I put the icing on, but you get the idea! The only thing I did differently was instead of the butterscotch pudding mix, I substituted Pumpkin spice, I think it added a little extra to the rolls that we loved! Enjoy!

How we amuse ourselves while stuck inside on a rainy, cold day!

I know she looks less than thrilled but she kept calling herself a "Robot", and thought she was pretty cool! I have a feeling that we'll be using a lot of these 'creative ideas' to keep entertained inside this winter. I would welcome any kid-friendly ideas that would help my kids with the 'cabin fever' that is bound to set in pretty soon!

Wordless Wednesday

Well, almost wordless anyway! I'm sitting here having a hard time believing that I just took this pic on Sat. and today - 4 days later- our weather has gone downhill very quickly. It's been raining for 2 days now, in the 40's, and they're predicting anywhere from 2-6 inches of snow by tonight! Aaaagggghhhhhh! Help me! I am so not ready for winter!

Harvest Moon Farms - 2008

We made our annual trek to the Pumpkin Farm yesterday. I say 'farm' because that is exactly what it is, it's not merely a 'patch', Although it didn't seem like they had as many pumpkins planted this year as the past years, they still had 2 huge fields of every shape and size of pumpkin that you can imagine. The farm is very Mom-and-Pop, very farmish, (is that a word?!) and quite primitive for this not-so-primitive girl. The only thing that is not so primitive is their entrance fee. I considered pointing out the irony in that to them but then decided not to.
They do have lots of things set up for the kids to enjoy, 2 huge slides and lots of animals. We took a hay ride down to the pumpkin fields and corn maze which is why is looks like we are in the middle of no where, we were! The sky was the the most beautiful shade of blue, so of course I tried to incorporate it as much as possible into my pictures. All in all, it was a fun day and they kids really enjoyed themselves and it wasn't too hot like last year so I remained headache-free, Yeah! :)

Finshed Object Friday

It's Finished object Friday today over at Fresh from the Chari Tree and I thought I'd join in for the first time! Brianna has been needing some more bows and I had fun making these for her. I bought 1 yard for each bow and ended up having some left over, I really only needed about 3/4 of a yard. I'd like to branch out to the more complicated ones sometime, but I thought it best to start small. :)

And here's how they look in her hair - pretty cute!
