Cookie Cake

To make a cookie cake all you need is a giant package of cookie dough(sugar, choc. chip, etc) Press it into a round foil pan and bake 350 for about 20 mins. Then I use Betty Crocker icing with the tips to decorate.

Pumpkins

On Thursday Ethan went on a field trip to the farm. They each got to pick a pumpkin. Ethan decided on a very heavy one and insisted that he carry it himself. Hiram helped him carve it and Ethan scooped all the gook out. That night he thanked heavenly father for his pumpkin so that he could make a jackolantern. The only problem with the pumpkin is that both kids always want to bring it back in the house during the day and put it out at night. Maybe I should have skipped getting a cat and just got a pet pumpkin.

Rainy day

Today was a rainy day so all plans to go to the playground for lunch were canceled. Ethan got to stay home today and eat popsicles all day. We also made pumpkin pics. Hiram will be gone until late which means everyone will be up late. Ethan helped make tofu for dinner tonight and to my surprise he loved it.
