my tummy hurts

Lawrence and I were having some fun after lunch. I was laughing so hard my tummy hurt. Corey came down with the stomach flu Sunday night. Thankfully, Lawrence and I have been spared this round (so far anyway).

I think I was laughing as hard as he was during this. I could have wet my pants. Just so you know, when he says 'DIN' he is meaning Again!

By the way, he got his cast off yesterday :) The dr said he should be walking again in a day or so. I put him down and he took off! He still walks stiff legged like he has a cast on, but that will go away soon. Yea for healing!

fun with pumpkins

A few weeks ago Lawrence and I were able to go to another pumpkin patch. This time with my folks (Nana and Grandpa John). There were a lot of activities that Lawrence could try and we had lots of fun. They even had a slide! That we avoided.

We all picked out pumpkins and Lawrence even got one just his size!

We got to ride the train. I was just glad that my hips fit in the seat.

He is turning into such a little boy.


And of course rode on our first Deere.

We had a beautiful day and especially enjoyed spending it with Nana since it was her birthday!

I have mad a couple fun pumpkin recipes lately and thought I would share:

Pumpkin Fluff Dip

1 16 oz whip cream

1 small instant vanilla pudding mix

1 15 oz pumpkin

1 t pumpkin pie spice

Mix together and serve with cinnamon graham crackers.

* I think that next time I would have several things to serve with it. Maybe some apple slices would be yummy?!

Fluffy Pumpkin cookies

1 15 oz pumpkin

1 pkg yellow cake mix

Mix together and place on cookie tray! Bake at temp on package. Do not overcook.

* I mixed in chocolate chips which made these SO yummy. They are so light and moist. Variations I want to try: spice cake mix instead of yellow. Craisins. Cream Cheese frosting. Muffins instead of cookies.
