oh, how i like trees...

oh, how i do not like leaves!
saturday was, "rake the leaves day". good thing we had two helpers to spread out our neat piles.
we had eli for the weekend and we put him to work.
well, actually they played in the leaves while we worked.
eli and payton are too funny together. payton is like his 2nd mom and he doesn't always
appreciate her motherly love.

she told him he had to have a helmet on to ride her trike.

seriously, sis, please take care of his duck tale.

peppermint hot chocolate

sis, i made my first cup of peppermint hot chocolate of the season!

for everyone else who is looking for a good hot chocolate recipe.....look no further!
below are the ingredients you need.
1. milk- whole is always the richest, but skim is fine too

2. chocolate chips- dark is my fave
3. peppermint extract
4. mini mallows

i just made one glass for me, although i wish you were enjoying it with me, sis.
it was about 2 cups of milk, handful of chocolate chips and a quick dash of extract.
sorry i'm not exact on measurements. you can't go wrong.
heat it over the stove and pour over top your mallows that are in the bottom of your mug!
YUMMY!

YABBA-DABBA-DOOOOOOOOO!

flintstones! meet the flintstones! they're the modern stone age family!

it was another successful halloween!
we all dressed up and had a fun evening.
(note-through this process i realize i am not a dress maker. i'll stick to the smaller things)

meet the rubbles! they both sported those wigs with pride.

my parents even got into character with the cave men theme.
my dad wore his dads original shriner's hat, just like the mens club on the flintstones show,
he even made his own sundial watch!

our friends little humpty dumpty !

the first house down and they already started eating their treats!

fred and pebbles. so cute!
pebbles showed us each piece that she got

this gorilla made us laugh soooo hard!
i saw him coming but patrick and my dad didn't....he zoomed up next to them and they both jumped and i think they were holding back screams. :)

we trick-or-treated down main street in gtown. lots of the homes are historical and they all decorate very creatively.

pebbles realized she could cut through the yard and get there faster.

the men to the right were the hazmat crew...gross

wilma and pebbles
we had such a fun evening!
