Pumpkin Walk

One of my favorite community events, is the fabulous Pumkin Walk in North Logan. I really {heart} it! I love that it celebrates fall, it is free, gives cute little snacks (even the adults get one!), and inspires my creativeness. (ok, I'm sure I will never turn a pumpkin into an adorable little creature, but they are still amazing!) I am always surprised by what they come up with. It is a fall tradition that I look forward to each year. Jada's preschool took a field trip there today, so Brecka and I were able to tag along.

My little Ariel...aka...Brecka

This was one of the scenes that I just loved. Everything is made from a pumpkin or gourd. Even the corn is made up of tiny gourds all painted yellow. The tall green things are legs of the Jolly Green Giant. So darling!

Jada's preschool class. She is in the back with the white coat.

This scene was made to look like "The Wild Things" from the book and movie just coming out.

Brecka, Jada, and her friend Kaylee, all having a snack after the long adventures at the Pumkin Walk. Can't wait to go again!

Fall Favs

My friend Krystal agreed to take some pictures of our family. The girls were troopers ~ of course it had to be raining/snowing. It was sooo cold, and little Brecka only was smiling in the first few. After that she was GrUmPy! Jada- 4 1/2

Brecka-almost 3

Thanks Krystal, for braving the weather and mud with us!

Candy Corn Cookies

Happy Fall Everyone!! Even though I am very sad to see the warm weather leave, I do love the season of falling leaves, sweatshirt nights, and orange, yellow, and brown. So...being October 1st, the girls and I got busy to make candy corn cookies. My friend made these last year and somehow I remember them turning out a lot better... we did our best! You use regular sugar cookie dough and color it orange with food coloring. Then dip the triangle shapes in melted white chocolate and then melted milk chocolate. Yummy! I think they are so darn cute, I couldn't wait to make them this year! Bring on the candy corn!

(I was in a hurry and so didn't make my lines very even. They would turn out more realistic if you slowed down a bit... ) :)
