Happy Birthday to my favorite Mama of all times! I only wish we had been able to celebrate with her in person! I love you Mother! Day 20 has been a pretty big day. We lived up the FFA’s to the full for sure. I surprised Chuck with a visit to Frying Pan Park Harvest Festival. It was on the same farm where we had our Hoedown. Actually, while we were at the Hoedown, I came across the flyer for…
Heidi lent me, “Dan in Real Life” several weeks ago. Watching it was on my list from the beginning, and I was pumped when I found out Heidi and Joe owned it. It took a pretty covert operation to sneak the DVD into my purse without Chuck seeing it, and it’s been hiding in our house ever since. I was all excited to present Chuck with his FFA for the day, upon which he replied, “Ohhh, it’s BluRay.” Fail. My…
No pictures to show for today, but it was still a good FF activity. Chuck and I took the pumpkin squares from yesterday and delivered them to two of our neighbors. I think they would have felt a little odd if I had snapped a picture of them taking the plate of treats. Don’t worry, Chuck still had his share of the goods. 😉
Time has gotten away from me, but here’s a recap of the past 2 days. Day 16. Love. Day 17. Pumpkin Squares.
America runs on… It’s that time again, Dunkin Monday is here! Today with coupons in hand, we redeemed our $.99 Pumpkin White Mocha, our Maple Donut (OK, we splurged the no-coupon dollar on that), and our FREE iced tea. Since they were out of pumpkin donuts, we’re crossing our fingers we can get one next Monday. I have to say though, that maple donut sure was scrumptious! And it was even better because we ate it before dinner. Rebels I…
Ok, so today wasn’t a FF surprise per say, but we did do a FF activity! Tonight we had a Hoedown with our high school students. The weather was in the 70’s- gorgeous, and we had some fried chicken ‘n fixins outside until it got dark. Isn’t he so, soooo handsome?! I love this picture of my man! Once we went inside (to a really cool building that looked like a barn), we got straight to the square dancing, line…
Don’t mind the corner of the cake, I have no idea why it’s missing! 😉 This is Luscious Banana Cake with Brown Butter Frosting. I had some pretty brown bananas, and we had a dinner date with our dear friends Ben and Jess, so thought I’d whip this up. I think it turned out pretty good, but a few of my teeth are super sensitive to sweet today, and it certainly put a damper on my dessert intake. If this…
Day 12, what a day! Not only did I surprise Chuck with our FFA, but he surprised me with a FF date night! I guess it just goes to show, when you pour into your spouse, your spouse in turn wants to pour into you. I’ll take the pouring. Any night where I don’t have to fix dinner is my dream pour. But back to #12. Instead of going to the pumpkin patch where we have gone in the past,…
I believe this says it all. YUMM-O!
It wouldn’t be fall without candy corn! Welcome to day 10. In fact, it’s even more special because there isn’t candy corn in Germany. Chuck picked out the multipack of the pumpkins, regular candy corn, and chocolate candy corn- he was pretty excited about it. After we took the picture, we added peanuts because if you didn’t know, peanuts plus candy corn is super yummy! Bon appetit!
