Another Busy Weekend






Well, it was another busy weekend! We had Amber back to back since we will be out of town this coming weekend. It was really nice to be able to spend so much time with her in a short period. Our intention was to go to the Children's Magik Theater for a performance of "Dr. Seussical", but I read the schedule wrong and there was no show! We drove all the way downtown to be the only ones standing outside the building. The next show is "The Kid Who Ran For President" starting next week, so I had to make a promise to Amber to go back. No show, but Sonic ice cream treats instead. My mom gave Amber Paula Dean's new cookbook for children along with an apron. She loved it!! and of course wanted to make every recipe this weekend...(thanks mom! ;) ) We managed to squeeze in pretzel sticks (one end is dipped in white chocolate and the other end is dipped in peanut butter chocolate) and monkey bread. Amber made fall treat bags of the pretzel sticks to give out to family. The monkey bread we made today before church and had a non-healthy breakfast of monkey bread and chocolate milk. We loved the monkey bread so much, I think we are going to make it a Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve treat tradition! Amber will be quite the cook! In between all of our kitchen time Abel and Amber managed to carve the pumpkin we picked last weekend at the pumpkin patch. What a great weekend! I can't wait to leave for Mexico on Thursday.....

Horray for Amber!! That monkey bread looks sooooo delicious. You all need to teach me how to make monkey bread. Amber seems to be the next Betty Crocker. How easy is it to make? If Amber can make it, then it encourages me to try. Receipe Request. Thanks!!
