Frosted Pumpkin Softies






Since Mom didn't believe that I have a cookbook by Debbie Mum, well, here's a picture for proof!

And here are some pictures of the super tasty Frosted Pumpkin Softies from the book! Lily and I had so much fun making cookies for her bake sale at school! And all the proceeds go to their missionary pen pal! How wonderful! And don't you just love the flavors of fall!

I know I do!

Fair

Here are some pictures from our adventures at the Onslow County Fair last night. We went early in the afternoon and met up with Kenny and Stacy, and their kids Mitchell and Miranda. We had such a great time, played a few games, ate some good ole fair food, and rode rides. I ate the best funnel cake I've ever had last night. It was so thick, hot, a little crispy on the outside, but still a little gooey on the inside! Wonderful! Also had a bite of a fried snickers for the first time, yummo! We had a blast, Hudson and Lily talked about it all the way to school this morning! You know kids, they were dreaming of living there!


Lily's first ride of the evening, the Frog Hopper!

Lily and me on Pharaoh's Fury

Lily's attempt to climb the ladder

Didn't quite make it!


Hudson's attempt to climb the ladder!



So close!

Bumper cars! This was one of the favorite things to do! They had an excuse to hit each other!

The caterpillar roller coaster, Lily in front, Hudson in back.

Hudson's favorite ride, the Cliff Hanger! (Mitchell, Lily, Hudson)

Miranda and Lily on the Fun Slide!

Mitchell and Hudson took a turn on the slide.

And then Stacy and I decided we ought to take a turn too!

They got a little bored waiting for the pizza, so we had a photo shoot! The silly face picture is much more fun than the serious face pose!

Lily's favorite ride, The Disko! She is my dare devil, would've ridden everything if we let her!

Dinner last night

So last night I had some extra time on my hands, which I probably should have used to clean, but instead I decided to use my time to make two meals, tri-colored peppers stuffed with meatloaf, topped with tomatoes and tomato sauce, pasta with corn and tomatoes on the side, and a breakfast casserole for us to eat this week in the mornings. I thought the meatloaf stuffed peppers were too cute, so here are a few pictures. And Mom, in case you were wondering, there is no rice in these peppers, although I thought about it, I wanted pasta on the side. And no, the meat filling does not really taste like traditional meatloaf, it was WAY better!

Alright Meg, here it is...


Okay, so Megan asked for a picture of me with my new bag and shoes. Well, here's me with my new bag. But since black does not go with navy, my shirt underneath my jacket, I clearly could not wear my new black flats today. I guess my purse is bigger than I thought, these pictures make it look huge!
