It's {Almost} FALL!!

It is still 100 degrees out, but it is starting to feel like Fall!!  I don't have too many Fall decorations for our house, and I love crafts, so I was so excited to join the girls from LollyJane for a craft night.  My kind of crafts are when the wood is cut, the paint is ready and the vinyl is prepared.  All I have to do is assemble and hang out with friends.  My sister came with me and we had a great time.  I wanted to make these super fun little pumpkins made out of 2x4s.  It took me probably three times the time it took everyone else.. but I think they are fun!  The other side is plain orange so I am going to paint some turkey's on them for Thanksgiving.  

I have been craving pumpkin.  I don't like pumpkin pie and my sis-in-law suggested a pumpkin shake, but I'm not that daring.  I decided to bake some pumpkin bread yesterday and this was amazing!!!  I'll share the recipe below.  The recipe didn't call for any goodies inside the bread, but I added chopped walnuts in half and chocolate chips in the other half.  My house smelled fantastic and it was the easiest breakfast this morning.

Our weekend was great, but we are looking forward to our last week of September. Owen and I spent the morning at the park with some friends and now we are trying to get ready for the day.  I don't know what to do with Owen's mop on his head.  Yikes.  Time to get it cut.. like tonight!  Owen and I leave for Stanford this week for clinic appointments and my list of questions for the transplant team is growing.  I feel like I have a good amount of knowledge when it comes to HLHS, but I'm still trying to learn the transplant world.    



I am off to work on another craft.. again.. someone did the hard work for me and all I have to do is assemble.  I will share tomorrow. :)  Happy Fall Y'all!
