Preppin' for Halloween

Well, tomorrow is Halloween so today we had to get ready.  We carved our pumpkins, toasted our seeds and baked the sugar cookies.  Phew.  

Jammin and Pickin

This morning we went to Stockton to make apricot pineapple jam (that we usually make in June or July, but I wasn't in any condition for jamming so we froze the fruit and make today) and to pick kaki.  Busy, busy day!

This year Uncle helped us make jam

Daddy with his full cherry picker bucket, but with kaki instead of cherries :) 

I had to count this patch of sugar FIVE times!  Counting is tricky on pain medications.  Especially with people chatting about numbers with you!!

We made 4 batches this year (2 double batches)  All set for the year!

Birthday Breakfast!

My Sweets requested a grilled cheese sandwich for her birthday breakfast this morning.  I added the grapes :) 

Are you really 12?!?!

Celebrating Bailey's Birthday!

Saturday we celebrated Bailey's birthday by having the family over for dinner.  We missed Uncle Ryan and Lukie, who were out camping and enjoying the fresh air!

As always we had lots of yummy food

Vegan chocolate cake

Happy Birthday, Sweets!

Make a wish!
