We were going to skip carving pumpkins this year until a few days before Halloween when Cevonne asked if we wanted to do it together via Skype. We've been doing this for years with the Torres's. It's great to keep the tradition alive even after they've moved to Austin, Texas. I got some inspiration from a few drilled pumpkins I'd been seeing around. I ran with that. I had a pretty good idea for mine until I got out our carving tools and noticed it came with a template book. I felt a little bad cheating this year. Tsk, tsk. We caught up while they finished carving their's. Scott caved in and turned the heat on the other day. It did dip down to the 30's but it's supposed to warm back up to the 60's. Didn't quite make it to Halloween this year. I requested aebelskivers for breakfast. We hadn't made them in a long time. I found a variant that used whipped egg whites. This really made these better than simp...

Since I have to rotate my seedlings everyday Scott said I should just move the greenhouse so the bottom shelf gets sun. Now its not in direct sunlight so we will see how this works. I thought the whole shelf would get more light this way, but we will see. Meadow and I like hanging out in bed. I sit there while she tires herself out. I had to put the little one down for a nap. It's kind of my thing. It's nice that he can start helping out now. She's had enough times being nursed to sleep. The other day Scott made my belated birthday cake. This year I asked for a cookie cake. I found one on Pinterest that was a peanut butter chocolate chip cooke cake with chocolate frosting, chopped peanut butter cups and drizzled chocolate fudge. Yea it tastes as good as it sounds. I skipped breakfast and went straight for Hungarian-style stuffed cabbage. I might be biased towards the sauerkraut-less Polish version. Meadow likes helping me with ...

Good morning sunshine. Someone learned how to crawl last week . Meadow is the queen of stuffed animals. We decided to take out most of these since she wants to sleep or chew everyone. I asked Scott to make breakfast again.  It's what I do. Meadow really only likes to be in the jumper for 5 minutes. I wish she would stay in it longer.  Brooke and the babe were keeping an eagle eye on my cooking. We hadn't had aebelskievers in a long time. Scott complained that they were just complicated pancakes and complained the whole time while he made them. Because they all burnt. I soon realized I forgot the cooking spray. These are pretty delicious. They're kind of like little filled-pancake donuts. During breakfast Cevonne texted asking if we wanted to come over. Meadow waking up at the same time every night has made me a zombie. Lately Meadow has discovered shadows. She is easily entertained when I make shadow puppets. Tod...
