Halloween 2009

We had a fun filled week leading up to the main event on Saturday night! We started on Thirsday with our annoal playgroup Halloween Party. Liz hosted and it was a blast. We each bring goodies and all the kids get to "trick or treet" from all the mom's. Here is the group!



On Friday we went to the Heffington's Annual Halloween Party! The girls had a blast playing with their cousins and all of the big kids! (I forgot my camera)!



Saturday we had a calm day because we knew the night would be filled with lots of fun, friends, and candy!!! At 4pm we headed to the Castagnola's to celebrate Halloween the way we have for so many years! Jess's birthday is November 2nd, so we always celebrate Halloween and her Birthday together. It is a wonderful tradition! Vicki made has Amazing Chili and Artichoke Dip - YUMMY! We took the kids out and Anna did her first trick or treating. Both girls had a blast!

Homemade Granola Bars

MADE THESE LAST NIGHT AND THEY ARE GREAT! They are great when you have little helpers!

Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup shredded coconut, loosely packed (I used unsweetened)
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped pitted dates (I used raisins)
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup dried cranberries


Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 12-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
Toss the oatmeal, almonds, and coconut together on a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and stir in the wheat germ.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
Place the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir for a minute, then pour over the toasted oatmeal mixture. Add the dates, apricots, and cranberries and stir well.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Wet your fingers and lightly press the mixture evenly into the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until light golden brown. Cool for at least 2 to 3 hours before cutting into squares. Serve at room temperature.

Meeting a new friend and Pumpkin Patch Take 3!

We had a nice and mellow week. John was in LA from Sunday until Tuesday night and he took most of the day Wednesday off to spend some time with us. On Friday morning I went to meet my friend and ex-boss's baby girl. She is so sweet and I have not seen Sharon in forever! Anna thought Sierra was a "cute baby" and she is. I made Sharon a few hair clips for Sierra and they looked so cute on her! Friday afternoon we went to Sheila's to try out the new pool! They have a slide and a cave and Lilly loved pretending to be a mermaid! I would swim with her on my back and bring her to the cave - we did this over and over. Thankfully Sheila got the kids cookies because that was the only way to get her out of the pool!

Sierra and her mommy!Such a Sweet Baby!

So cute with her clippy!

Today we went to the Pinery Pumpkin Patch in Bonita with my brother Justin, his girlfriend Michelle, and her nephew Bennett. We had so much fun! The kids loved the animals, all the pumpkins, and we went on a hay ride! After we all enjoyed a late lunch at McD's!

Bible Study

I have been thinking about joining a bible study for a while now. A very dear friend gave me a mom's bible for my 3oth birthday and I have picked it up a few times, but honestly felt a little intimidated. Last year it just did not work with our schedule, so this year I decided I was going to find one that worked for my schedule and my soul. I went to the one at my church and just did not get the feeling I was looking for. The following week I went to one at another church. It is every other Tuesday (perfect) and the time and location work perfectly with me needing to pick Lilly up at 10:45. I went 2 weeks ago and really liked it. It was just an intro, but I think it is going to be a good fit! Tomorrow is the first real class and I am excited!

Playgroup Pumpkin Patch 2009

Every year we go to the Pumpkin Parch with playgroup! This year was a little bitter sweer because Lilly was at school and not able to go with us. She is doing so well (and we went to bates the week before) that I didn't want to pull her out! Anna and I had a blast with all of our friends!
