Monday

 Happy Monday!

1. We had such a nice Sunday!

After church we sat around the table together and worked on painting our "25 days of Christ", Christmas ornaments. We are not done and will need another day of painting, but I am sure we will be finished in time for December!

I made a roast for Sunday dinner. I have discovered that a cap full of liquid smoke does amazing things to a roast cooked in a crock pot.

After dinner we took a walk to the park and then came home to eat THIS pumpkin cake, (Zackary ate 3 pieces on Saturday night. It is really good!) and to watch Toy Story of Terror (yesterday was the first night of ABC Family's 13 nights of Halloween!).

2. Ty will be working long days every day this week including Saturday. We are bracing ourselves and hoping we can make it to Sunday with our sanity still in tact.

3. I listened to THIS talk today.

Really good stuff!

4. In the spirit of all things peanut butter....

I want to make THIS biscotti,

and then THIS hot chocolate to dip it in.

5. Max is getting pretty good on his cornet. Last night he and Mia played a little duet with Mia on the piano. They played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and I loved it!

6. We are so excited that Halloween will be falling on a Friday this year. Ty and I are planning a little driveway bonfire party for the evening. 

Have a great week!
