PUMPKIN CARVING

Tonight after dinner, Mimi could not wait to start carving her pumpkin. She was so excited about it that I did not even have to ask her to clear the table. It was done in a flash. Will post the picture at a later date as they did not get to finigh it tonight. Bedtime, tomorrow's school you know. I guess they should have started a little earlier. Oh well, que sera sera.

MY FIRST HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PIE

Moms up here do a lot of baking in the cold weather. While watching the Seahawks game, I was reading fb on my iphone and saw my friend Suzan who lives in Bishop, California talk about the pumpkin spice coffee that Starbucks serves. It sounded so yummy. She also talked about baking a pumpkin pie to go with the coffee. So I had to just make the pie. I had pumpkin on the brain. Besides, that is all what Micah would talk about the other day when the kids were outside playing.

I must say that it is pretty easy to make and it tastes really good too.

ANOTHER COPPERTONE MOMENT

Nice weather is gone and the Fall storm is here. Had a power outage early this morning. They are expecting another storm tonight and into tomorrow morning. The weatherman says we are to get 35 ft waves all along the Washington and Oregon coast.

Therefore it was just that kind of a day. A pj day, all day for Mimi. Of course she had to run around in her Halloween costume. The more she wore it, the more ole' Butch would try to yank the tail off. Now and then you would hear Butch! Stop it!!!
