School Pictures

Max got his pictures back today so I thought I would share them. I think they turned out very cute. He really loves school. Starting tomorrow, I am going to be helping out in his class once a week, I am excited to go and be there with him to see what his Kindergarten world is like.

Snow in October!

We looked out the window this morning to find snow! Max and Maddie were so excited. They couldn't wait to get out there and play in it. As soon as Maddie saw the snow she ran to get her coat. The kids had a great time, playing in the snow. Maddie thought it tasted pretty yummy and despite both Bret and I telling her not to eat snow she would sneak a bite whenever she could.



Bret and Max decided they wanted to build a snow man before all the snow melted.


We had a lot of fun rounding up things to decorate our snow man. I think he turned out pretty good.



We are really glad we build him when we did because now it is mid afternoon and all the snow is melted, but our snow man is still standing :).

Recipes

Last week, I participated in a recipe collaboration. It was put together by a very talented scrapbook designer named Pamela (digitreats). She made a 4 x 6 recipe template card and asked for people to use her scrapbooking kits to design recipe cards with some of their favorite recipes, then she put them all on her website to download. You can have them printed like you would a 4x6 photo, then put them in a brag book or photo album and voila, you have a new recipe book. She is allowing them to be given away as gifts or sold for charity (but not on the internet). Click here and scroll down to the bottom of the post to download, there are 8 downloads. You can pass these along to others but do not email them, refer them to her site to download them. I contributed these 5 recipes:





So, go download, and enjoy. I looked through them and while I won't print all 328 of them, there are some really good recipes in there.
