I love Halloween. Today Seth and I made awesome pumpkin cookies. He decided that he was a hard-hat wearing chef and was a bit bummed when I told him that we had to actually use the bowl for the cookies. The feeling passed when I allowed him to grate nutmeg into our pumpkin mixture while chanting "NUTMEG!!!!" For those that don't know, "nutmeg" is when someone kicks a soccer ball through your legs. It's also tasty in cookies. We also picked up a copy of "A Nightmare Before Christmas" today. At the moment it's dark and cool outside, little Wy is asleep, I'm having pumpkin cookies and a fresh cup of coffee and Seth dancing around while watching Jack. Have I mentioned that I love Halloween?
Pumpkin Cookies:
2 C WW Flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs vanilla
"some" nutmeg
1 C butter (soft)
1 C brown sugar, packed
1 C pumpkin
1 egg
1 C nuts, chopped (we used walnuts)
1 C oatmeal
Beat Butter and sugar together until fluffy. Then beat in pumpkin, egg and vanilla. Mix all dry ingredients together then gradually add into the pumpkin/sugar mix. 400 degrees for about 10 mins. They are more like cake than a crispy cookie
So what if we've already started in with the Halloween decorations. So what if I've been shopping for costume material and pumpkin recipes. I've got a kid that loves all things Halloween..and I can't blame him!
My dear, sweet, beautiful friend Cami has a great blog. (check it out..really.) She has White Trash Wednesday and it always proves to be a great read. I was going through some old photos and saw this. Cami..what do you think? WTW worthy?? LOL
For anyone that doesn't know the story...Seth was reading a book about hands. He decided that the middle finger was so awesome it should actually be called, The King of Fingers. I thought it was fitting. And no..he has no idea what it really means. Geesh...
Nothing new to report about Wyatt. He's an awesome baby. Big baby. Adorable baby to be exact. Some see Scott in him but I see my sister Alison.
Wednesday my midwife Cori came over with her son to play. We had a ton of kids here but what's really cool is that Cori delivered three of the babies here. Pretty awesome. We love Cori.
What would childhood be if mud pies weren't encouraged?? Mud is our friend. And because children are waterproof and stain resistant, it makes for a easy water hose clean up.
Seth loves to cook. Yes I know, all children love to cook. But saying that would imply that my child isn't super awesome at it so I'll just say my child really, really loves to cook. He could crack and egg w/o getting shell into the bowl before he was 3. I was 20 before I could do that! Anyway, we made cookies on Wednesday and then some really awesome ratatouille yesterday. I pretty much just let him pick out the veggies and that's what we went with. Asparagus, zucchini, squash, spinach, tomatoes, onion and his favorite thing...rice. The kid could live off of rice. And since I haven't updated my blog lately, I thought I'd share these photos.
