Happy Thanksgiving!

One of the balloons released for grandpas in Heaven.

Enjoy the day!

Pumpkin Scones

With all of the pumpkin that we have left over, we've been making lots of treats. Yesterday, we made scones and were they good!

We made a spice glaze to go over them, with pumpkin pie spice.

And we made doll-sized ones too, just because. :)

They enjoyed them!

Patched Jeans

What do you do when your favorite pair of jeans get holes in them?

Patch them up!

And that's just what I did.

I took an old t-shirt and cut out patches from them. I made two ovals over the knees, hems around the bottoms and a flower to go on the back pocket.

I hand-sewed the whole thing, going over my seams twice to make sure that they stay.

The edges of the flower are starting to curl up, but I think that I'll leave it that way.

I love the way that they turned out, and I know that I'm going to have fun patching up my next pair when they get holes in them!

Homemade Pumpkin Bread

Some friends of Caitlin's family gave us a whole lot of pumpkins! We made jack-o-lanterns for halloween, but we still had many left over. So we roasted some to be used for baking. Now we will be able to use them for lots of pumpkin treats!

This morning we made pumpkin bread. We used a recipe from a church cookbook and it turned out really yummy!
