This past Saturday the weather cooperated beautifully so off to the pumpkin patch we went! This one is the closest one to our house and it is well worth the money! Here are a few pics from our day!

DIY: Rice Krispie Treat Pumpkins
Each week at Cubbies, one of the little cuties is responsible for bringing back the cookie bucket full of, well, cookies for snack time. This week was Sawyer’s week. (Don’t tell me you’re surprised that I signed up for a fun week…) You don’t have to bring cookies so we decided to make Rice Krispie treat pumpkins and they turned out really cute!
You’ll need:
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 package of marshmallows
- 5 cups of Rice Krispie cereal
- orange food coloring
- 15 mini Tootsie Rolls
1.) Melt down your butter and marshmallows over medium heat.
2.) Add in the food coloring and then coat your Krispies.
3.) While these cool, unwrap your Tootsie Rolls.
4.) Coat your hands in butter and shape your Krispies into a ball of sorts.
5.) Make a well and insert the Tootsie Roll in top. We curved ours for a little character.
These are super easy and super cute! Are you seeing a theme here regarding the kinds of projects I like? 🙂
What We’re Doing Wednesday
*Note: Apparently this font doesn’t like punctuation. Ugh. Who doesn’t like punctuation?! See how it says “What Were Doing Wednesday?” THAT is gonna bug the tar out of me! But “What We Are Doing Wednesday” just doesn’t sound right. Will you forgive my grammatical gaffe for now? Pretty please? With a pumpkin on top?*
Daddy brought home a BIG pumpkin last night as a fun surprise!
It made us officially ready to get some of our other pumpkins painted. We decided we’d let daddy help us carve the BIG one this weekend.
We painted one together…sort of. Her side kept creeping into my side but I didn’t mind.
The finished products!
Wednesday nights, we drive into town for Cubbies – one of the highlights of Sawyer’s week! Mine and dad’s too, because we get an hour and a half date while she’s there. Oh yeah, baby!
Last week, I didn’t iron on the apple patch she received. I couldn’t figure out the exact place it was to go and the perfectionist in me didn’t want to mess her vest up or make hers different than everyone else’s so we went without. I felt horrible, though she didn’t care. But this week, we’re ready to go!
We did some pre-school work, but I try not to do too much of this on Wednesdays because of the Cubbies lesson – I don’t want to totally confuse her. We memorize the Word in our preschool lessons, too so it’s better to let her memorize only Cubbies verses on Wednesdays.
Then, we got to watch a little show thanks to mommy’s sinus infection migraine. Ugh. REALLY should go to the doctor. I’ve had this nasty sinus thing since the end of September. Pretty sure it’s trying to kill me…
The rest of the day will be spent playing with brother, climbing the hay stack, painting our fingers, napping, bathing and going to Cubbies. Good day, I’d say.
