Making up for lost time…
Here are some of the things we’ve been up to recently.
This was the inside of the pumpkin when I cut it in half. I love the way you can see three distinct sections.
This is the pumpkin after I baked it.
The pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting were wonderful as usual.
This was my first experience with a spaghetti squash. I will not be giving up pasta for squash, but it was really neat to see how it got its name. It was tasty with our Chicken Parmesan, too.
My wonderful husband carves our pumpkin every year. I think he does a great job!
I made a batch of pepper jelly with jalepeños from our garden.
We dressed up to visit grandparents. I made my costume and the pirate costumes. Colin was Thomas a few years ago and passed the costume down to Eamon since he loves trains.
Oh yeah…and I turned 30!!! Here is the birthday card I got from my husband…a “mock” newspaper/tabloid article. It even includes my name misspelled once, which is a necessity to be real, as anyone in the printing industry knows!
