Pumpkin Cake Balls

In theme with the holiday season, Rebecca decided to create a new flavour cake ball. This one was very moist, and theoretically lower in calories than the other kinds (as the cake was so moist, it didn’t need a full batch of frosting mixed in.)  At least, this is what we will claim.

A moist pumpkin cake, made from real pumpkin, and all the right spices mixed in.  Blended with a buttery cream cheese frosting, then coated with delicate orange coloured, vanilla flavoured chocolate!  And decorated to look just like little pumpkins! 🙂

The Trying on of Costumes

I am really late in getting out the bucket of costumes this year. Gratefully everyone found something that fit, which means I don’t need to go buy any costumes this year. However I probably won’t be so lucky next year.

Bedroom Make-Over

All winter long, Kyle says “We need to get some flannel winter sheets.” And this summer he has said over and over “We need to get some summer sheets.” So we found a bedding set that has some silky sheets, and it’s a solid color so it shouldn’t be too hard to find matching flannel sheets, and our room has been transformed.

Our bed as it was:

This is one of Chewy’s favorite places to be, curled up on our pillows, basking in the warm sun:

And this is our bed as it is now:

I love that Kyle and I both love purple! 🙂 And now it’s time to be looking out for purple flannel sheets!

Aren’t they cute? Tyra’s hair was cuter when she left the house that morning. When I was in school, on picture day I remember there being someone right there on the scene that would run a comb through your hair and get it all fixed up right before the picture was taken (not hair styling, but touch ups) I guess they don’t do that anymore??? She’s cute anyways. 😛 And Ethan actually had a good smile, last year he kind of had a goofy smile. 🙂
