A Little Laugh

I just saw this video on another blog and it cracked me up.  I thought I'd with any ladies that are getting older.

Ahh, Fall

Fall is just a wonderful time of year.
Cozy sweatshirts
Fires burning
Golden sunlight
Crisp, dry weather
Flickering candles
And lots of baking
This is the time of year I bake a lot and I love to make as many things as possible with pumpkin and some of my favorite spices.

So far this year we've had pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins and a pumpkin bundt cake.  The muffins and cake were new recipes and definitely keepers. (if you try try the muffins, increase the pumpkin to 1 cup.  If you try the cake, check it after 45 minutes of baking)

Today I mixed up Molasses Cookies with my cute helper.  Chewy Molasses Cookies with homemade applesauce...mmm..mmm.

Sweet Rewards for a good helper

I Had No Idea

Well I learned something new over the weekend.  It's not earth-shattering, but enlightening.   Anyone who learned how to type on a typewriter, as I did, was probably taught to double space after a period.  Did you know...are you ready for this?...You are only suppose to single space after a period now?!?  So basically everything I've typed for the past 13 years has been incorrect - including this post.  It's going to be a hard habit to break.

**update**
I can't remember what blog I discovered this typography tidbit (don't you love that word? typography) but here is a link to verify my new-found knowledge.

Sadie Can Drive

On the way back from Kroger today Sadie informed me that she knows how to drive and she wanted to know how old she had to be before she started driving.  I told her she had to be 16 and she has to be tall enough to reach the pedals.  Sadie's reply was, "What pedals?"...maybe she's not quite ready.

This summer I wrote down a bunch of words Sadie still says incorrectly.  They are so cute, so I usually don't correct her.  Just in the past several weeks she learned the correct pronunciation so I'll document them here so I don't forget.

becept = except
bemember = remember
shnarshnellow = marshmallow
snoot snack = fruit snack
orport = airport
eatmeal = oatmeal
ogurt = yogurt
berry  = very
pupcake = cupcake
foots = feet
my ok = I'm ok
wet's go = let's go
scunscreen = sunscreen
scunday school = Sunday school

And my 2 favorite
Sucka = Fresca
Pudge = Fudge (self-fulfilling prophecy)

Lovely Sunday

Sunday was a lovely day to get out with the family.  So our little family headed to the Purple People Bridge, taking you from Newport, KY to Cincinnati, OH.  We played at Sawyer Point and then returned home, happy and refreshed.
