This Blog is all about...
Well my family of course! My babies are growing up way to fast and I want to remember everything. This helps, when I remember to update it.

But I also love to cook, take pictures, get crafty, and try new things.

My boys get tired of the same thing over and over again so I am constantly trying new recipes. I have started keeping up with them here. The original links are in each post to give credit to the creators. I add my reviews, changes, and pictures (sometimes).

Happy Halloween

This was the year for a lot of firsts.
-Layla's first trick or treat, she was sick last year.
-Ethan's first year going out with only friends.
-Gabrielle's first year of really getting the idea of Halloween.

We made Pumpkin French Toast, eggs, and bacon for dinner. Then it was a rush to get dressed and out the door. Ethan's friends met him at our house so as soon as he was done they were gone. Thankfully he has a good bunch of kids he was going with and they behaved themselves.

This was definitely a big year for Gabrielle. She understood we get dressed in her costume, go for a walk, go to houses and get candy! After coaching her to knock, say Happy Halloween, and Thank You. She had it down pat by the third house.

Then it was "Mommy, a new house! Happy Ween! (candy in the bag) Thank you! A new house."

When she would try and get shy or quiet I told her that if she didn't say Happy Halloween she didn't get candy, and if she didn't say thank you she'd have to give it back. Needless to say, she didn't need that many reminders.

Layla just wanted to walk the entire time. Not a word was spoken, just a lot of happy squeals. We brought the stroller, but it was just for us to push apparently, because no one wanted to sit, or let go of their candy bag.
