festivities

Have you ever eaten so many pumpkin bars that your sick? That's me right now. They are so addicting. It's a combination of the cream cheese frosting with moist pumpkin cake. I eat so many this time of year that I don't feel like making them for a whole year. Ammon has the sharing can for school tomorrow so we made some sugar cookies for his class. Not the typical ones that take hours, a simple no frosting recipe. If you'd like I will share it with you. So add a few cookies on to my pan of pumpkin bars and just imagine how disgusting I feel right now.

This weekend we went to a Harvest Party that some friends here have annually. It's truly wonderful, picturesque and one of those memories, as a child, you will always have. Imagine a home situated on five acres. A warm clear evening, children running freely, eating every type of cookie, cake, candy and popcorn imaginable. Food, every kind of food. Hay rides on a tractor down to a spooky gazebo where you get a treat bag. A pumpkin patch to pick all kinds and sizes of pumpkins and as many as your arms can carry to take home. Jump house, trampoline, swing set, tetherball, a fire pit and lots of happy people. Ammon spent his evening chasing and holding a snake. Cohen jumped and ate way too much junk food. Rylee literally ran away all evening long. I chased her and Jody played tetherball. We had a great evening. This is how people should celebrate the fall season. Good times.
