Pumpkin Mousse
I'm a sucker for pumpkin everything this time of year.
Once you taste this scrumptious pumpkin treat, you'll want to make it again next year.
Pumpkin Mousse
1 box cheesecake Jell-O instant pudding mix
1 3/4 c. milk
2 T. pumpkin puree
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
Start by slowly adding some milk to the pudding mix using an electric mixer on low. Continue slowly adding more milk and mixing on low until all the milk has been added. Add the pumpkin and spices and mix for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding has become thick.
To make the homemade whipped cream, mix heavy whipping cream with a 1 tsp. sugar and a 1/4 tsp vanilla until it forms a thick whipped cream.
Serve with a dollop or two of whipped cream and a ginger snap cookie.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fall scrapbook album work shop 2012
Hosting the scrapbook workshops is always so much fun.
This year five wonderful ladies came for the evening.
We had dinner, dessert, and some scrapbooking.
I always like to see how everyone changes things to make it more them.
It's great!
I was slacking on the photo taking and didn't get one of our dinner.
Creamy chicken and wild rice soup, salad, and homemade rolls.
This was my last workshop here before we move, so it was a little bittersweet.
So, thank you to all who came and made it a success. You ladies rock!
We had 2 desserts this year. Homemade apple pie and pumpkin mousse. Mmm....
To see the full album and all the pages see this previous post here.

Oct. 31
Our third year trick or treating.
The first year we've gone without friends.
Without daddy.
They did AMAZING!
This mom is so proud.
They gave smiles and made eye contact.
Absolutely no tears.
They still don't care about candy.
Hooray for their teeth!
Daddy took care of the loot.
They loved their "Brett Favre" shirts.
We have three coffee table books about Brett Favre.
Those books are their favorite.
They knew their shirts were the same as the ones in the books.
And brought them out to show me.
They love watching football.
With or without daddy.
I just love them.
My heart is so happy.
Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch
At the pumpkin patch we had..........
camera trouble
little boys running wild
difficultly listening
sticks for poking
tears from not getting what we wanted
baby pumpkins
rolling pumpkins off the pallets
nice weather
It wasn't the best time at the patch but that's just life.
Sometimes things don't end up as easy or fun as we originally thought, but it's alright.
We just keep trying.
And when all else fails, take them down to the playground........

Fall Mini Scrapbook 2012
I've been busy preparing for my Fall Mini Scrapbook Workshop.
Last year's was a blast, as was the workshop I had in the spring.
This year the Fall colors are a little softer and sweeter.
The little pumpkins make me happy.
I just love them.
