Spills and Treats

I went over to K's yesterday to help pack things up. Good thing to know: a 5 lb bag of sugar will bust when it drops from a height of about 6 feet. Yes, I found this out first hand.

I saw this recipe online the other day for a pumpkin pie milkshake. I made pumpkin cookies earlier this week and had pumpkin puree left over. I though well...I like pumpkin pie. I like milkshakes. Why not combine the two and try it out?? So I did.

Waiting to be blended...at this point I was a little nervous. Pumpkin puree in a milkshake? Hmmm I don't know about that... plus with all the spices, I was not so sure that I would like this. BUT, I blended it up. Here is the result:

Makes for a beautiful milkshake! The recipe called for a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs on the top after its all done. Looks pretty, no? As hesitant as I was to taste it, I did. The result? Pretty good! Tastes like frozen pumpkin pie! I think I found a new fun treat!!!

Halloween Preparations

This weekend, C, PJ, and I carved pumpkins. I think they turned out really well. Mine took way too long and I might have gotten a bit frustrated with it in the middle of the process, but finally I did finish and they look great!!!

We also went to Cornbelly's Corn Maze. It was pretty fun! I have only been to a corn maze once, back at home years ago. It was fun to go and get lost in the corn. All total we spent about an hour and a half inside the maze, and never found the true exit. We did find the beginning twice though. Thats how we ended up getting out...through the entrance....

I also played babysitter this weekend to the cutie. I stayed with him and we had quite the great time. He was awake and happy the entire time, it was great. We even changed his diaper without any accidents. Go us! I know it seems like I only post pictures of him, but I just think these few are so stinking cute that I had to do it. Enjoy :)

All squeaky clean!

He smiled at me!!!

Just hangin out with Aunt E.

School...is going. Its hard to believe that October is almost over. That means this semester is almost over. THAT is crazy! Last week we had a huge test that I was super nervous for. Its done and over with, thank goodness. This week I have a test tomorrow. Not quite as nervous for it, but still a bit. Hope it goes alright. I feel like I am doing alright. Still can't believe that I will be out of the clinic in a few months. Not sure if I feel ready to be on my own with all this stuff! But for now, I am just concentrating on getting through the next few weeks.

By the way, don't forget to celebrate Nevada Day on Saturday!!!
