Pumpkins Picked & The Week

Avatar photo - 1 Avatar photo - 2

I hope your weekend is off to a nice start. Mine is and this past week sure has been a busy one. Scott was traveling so I was flying solo for much of the week but he’s home now. Skylar and Daddy get to have a little Park Time together while Mommy takes a little Break Time.

I was also busy in the kitchen. These are some of my favorite recipes from this past week:

Blueberry Banana Recovery Smoothie

Questions:

  1. What did you make or eat this week that you enjoyed?

I have been enjoying spending more time in the kitchen the past week or so and creating more. It’s fun and rewarding for me.

And Scott and Skylar never complain when I create. They eat the fruits of my labor. Or the Snickers Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies of my labor.

  1. Have you gotten a pumpkin yet? If not, are you going to? Are you going to carve your pumpkin?

I probably won’t carve our pumpkin. We don’t have an outdoor private area where it would be suitable to keep a carved pumpkin and the scent of decomposing pumpkin isn’t something I’m too thrilled about wafting through the kitchen and living room for the days leading up to Halloween. So we will probably just decorate with some magic markers and skip the carve-athon.
