This week my mom came down to help out and spend time with the grandkids. Unfortunately Shannon had a cold, but we managed to have some fun.
Made Bread
Araksya taught us to make her special whole wheat bread that doesn't resemble a door stopper. This woman can smell how much salt there is when she's cooking. That's my next goal.
Sweet Success
Attended Shannon's preschool Halloween party.
Carved some pumpkins and made roasted pumpkin seeds.
Steve and Shannon demonstrate what the pumpkin will look like Attended the Ward Trunk or Treat
Planned a date...then ended up at the Honda dealership getting our car fixed. We EVENTUALLY made it to the Cheesecake Factory after sitting in rush hour traffic on 280(in seperate cars but continuing our date via cell phone), but darn it, we were going to make it because we have so few opporunitites to eat without children.

Aren't dates rare to come by after you have kids?!? I'm glad you actually got to go out though.
That bread looks so good!!! What a fun week!!!
look, we're all commenting on the bread. i could really use a piece of that comfort food right about now. any chance you can post that recipe?
love that your mom came, and i love that you and steve got to go out! i love that first date after birthing my babies. it's like breaking free of a sticky, frumpy, windowless cell that smells like sour milk and stepping into sunshine. ahhh... to breathe again.
I'm glad you guys got a night out!! I love how you caught Shannon mid-sneeze:)
Wow - Adam makes a big pumpkin!
Your kids are getting so big! I can't believe how big Shannon is getting! Holy cow! They were so cute for Halloween. And yes, the bread does look yummy!
Such great fun! I have not kept up lately! Look at your cutie tootie family! And hello...that kid is getting the best cream in the nation!! I think you could sell that stuff for gold!
