Fall baking & crafts

Even though the weather outside says it's still summer, we are determined to recognize that it's fall.

Payton had a playdate last week with his buddy William, and we made Halloween cookies and stuffed ghosts (this was a really cute & easy craft if any of my mom friends want a link to the craft, let me know).

The cookies turned out really cute & delicious (thanks Rachel for the recipe!) but then I let the boys decorate several on their own with sprinkles, MnM's and candy corn... can you say "sugar overload??" They had a ball creating their masterpieces and honestly, the sugar high wasn't that bad afterwards.

Hope you all are enjoying some cool weather where you are... please feel free to send some our way!!!

Knock-Knock...

Here is Payton telling me a knock-knock joke. If this doesn't make you laugh, I don't know what will! He's SO cute!!!

So Smart!

Brian is always encouraging me to create a new product for babies, kids, moms, etc. that would be a big seller and make millions! Great idea, right? So why is it I can never think of anything on my own, but then I see something someone else has created and say, "This is so smart! Why didn't I think of that!?!?" So... here is a good example: Pottery Barn kids has created this little kit where you can decorate your real pumpkin at the beginning of the Halloween season and it will last the entire month! It's so great! Payton had a ball doing it and he has now named his pumpkin "spidey." Below are some fun pics... I'm off to create something fabulous that will make us

millions (got any ideas???)...
