This was the first time my mom and I went on a trip together and we just had a fabulous time!!
DeleteYou guys really know how to have some fun! You seem like such a great mom... I bet your boys are going to have the greatest memories when they are grown.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! I sure hope they will.
DeleteThose pumpkin donuts . . . yum! We have warm apple donuts for the first time, and they were sooo good, so I can only imagine how lovely and fragrant fresh pumpkin donuts would be. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to get around to making apple donuts or cider donuts but I just can't seem to keep apples or cider in the house long enough. The pumpkin ones were delicious!
DeleteSuch a fun month you had with your family, and the hiking trails look nice.
ReplyDeleteWe have found lots of new and lovely hiking trails this past month.
DeleteWow, wow, wow, you are such an impressive teacher and mom! Love all of the educational activities you do with your boys. Everything can be a hands-on learning experience with the right teacher. You are amazing in my book.
ReplyDeleteI used to make the puppy chow and serve it in the library from a dog food bowl after reading puppy stories to my students. Loved seeing their reactions when I would take the first bite of puppy chow before offering it to the kids.
Need the Nestle pie, pumpkin doughnuts and Chex mix, and harvest corn recipes. Delicious!!
Aw, thank you! That is so nice to hear. I sure do try very hard to make most learning experiences hands on as that's how my boys learn best.
DeleteThe Tollhouse pie recipe & the zesty ranch mix recipe are coming to the blog soon but I did go back and make sure there was a link to all the other recipes listed in this post. Hope that helps!
