Today is the boys last day of school this week. I’ve got the house stocked up and ready to go for Thanksgiving. I’m spending the day working on a few projects, and catching up on way too much laundry.
Tomorrow I’ll start baking… I’m either baking fresh bread of rolls for Thanksgiving. I’m also going to start baking the pies. I’m serving four pies this year. I can’t wait to get started. Thanksgiving is so much fun.
It has been a tasty month already.
This week I have been off a day all week. I am so ready for a weekend. I would love to sit back, relax, and do absolutely nothing.
What about you… What are your plans this weekend?
I’ve been crafting lots of little projects lately.
I’ve gone through the rest of my fabric. I’ve been cutting blocks to finish off Agnes’ quilt. I hope to get it finished one of these days.
I crocheted a scarf for James for his birthday. It is Green Bay Packers colors.
Once James’ scarf was finished, I started one for my brother Rob. It is K.C. Chiefs colors.
I think I worked on Rob’s scarf for eight days.
I got it all done though, and it looks pretty cool. I hope he likes it.
I decided to start one for Thade too.
I finished it in a day. Crocheting has been so much fun, but now I don’t want to stop.
October really was a blur, and I was in the kitchen a lot. I didn’t get as many photos though… Here are a few of the tasty treats that were going on at our house.
I love this homemade chocolate cake. I have everything on hand to make it in a pinch. It is tasty topped off with vanilla ice cream too.
I revisited the five minute cake recipe when I needed a late night snack. It is pretty good. I wish I could find a recipe that is egg-less.
My Mother in law brought us dinner. We had a SE KS favorite Chili Cheese Fries and Chili Sticks from Dairy Kastle.
I made homemade pizza a few times in October.
I’ve started making five large pizzas on pizza night.
I hope that there will be leftovers for the boy’s lunches, but the pizzas usually go pretty fast. Maybe I’ll have to make six.
Our Friday night treat has become cake & ice cream. James usually has to close, and he is home pretty late, we have dinner extra early, and enjoy a treat.
I’ve been cooking Chili in the crock pot this month too. I like mine MO style, Spaghetti Red. It is so tasty, but my family thinks I’m weird.
I baked a few loaves of homemade bread too. This one was served on Chicken night.
The cold weather arrived, so I made the kids Homemade Hot Cocoa and Chocolate Chip Cookies for an after-school treat. The boys loved the cocoa. They are hoping for more chilly days.
I made a bunch of Vanilla mints for Agnes’ birthday party. She wanted them purple.
We had all of the family up for the party. It was so much fun. I made homemade pizzas, and we had cake & ice cream too. It was so awesome getting to catch up with everyone, and Agnes had an awesome birthday too.
The month ended with lots of trick-or-treating. The kids had so much fun, and they came home with lots of candy too.
