Piper and Lettie (I can't remember what you are calling her...sorry
Esther!) together on Thanksgiving...

Piper wearing Lula's dress and shoes.

Lettie being absolutely adorable for the camera.

LOVE getting together with family! So often wish we did it more!

A Saturday night visit to see Uncle Gerrit at his work...
Apparently Uncle Gerrit and Piper couldn't be bothered to look at the camera.

Piper not pleased her pic is being taken.

Piper not pleased her hot chocolate was all gone. Do you see a pattern? :)

All us girls...and once again, Piper not pleased her pic is being taken.

At least this one turned out pretty good.

Roasted marshmallows, hot chocolate, and all of us cuddling together...so much fun!

A little late but I go very firmly by "better late than never"! And here are a few things that I am so thankful for!
A husband/daddy who will cuddle with his girls wearing Snuggie's (at least his is blue and not hot pink!) and reading I Spy books.
A husband who will make the Thanksgiving dish to take for lunch while I take my slow poky time getting ready.
Little girls in curls...

...2 little girls in curls who love doing everything together!

These are just a few of the many things I am thankful for. But most of all I am thankful to God who has blessed my family and me so very much!

Slowly but surely getting closer to my regular feel good self. Or at least trying to talk myself into being that person again. Anyway, here are some pics of the girls at the park. I managed to sum up enough energy to go for a bike ride to the school playground that is right around the corner from us. I just couldn't pass up such a gorgeous day, probably one of the last nice ones of the year.
Piper trying to climb up some kind of swirly climbing thing. She tried to climb up everything that was there!

The girls on the tire swing. Piper was NOT impressed.

Piper trying to do the monkey bars. She could make it about two bars before she would fall down. Not too bad.

The girls being goofy.

Adorable pic of the girls!

Nausea...
...good for the diet...
...bad for the house cleaning.
And that is all for now. Back to bed I go.

Pumpkin Puree...
Thanks to Esther, I decided to try this for myself and see how it went. I bought 3 pumpkins at a road side stand for $1.50. One can of Libby's full price costs $1.79. I ended up getting 6 cans from my 3 pumpkins. Not too bad of a deal! Although I did find out from Tracy that she buys the pumpkin puree at Aldi's for $.89 a can (or something close to there.) So not sure if I am going to do the remaining 2 pumpkins or not.

Here is what the puree looks like once it is all blended.
I put mine in these jars and froze them. They equal out to the amount that is one Libby's can so I will be able to pull them out and use them right away in a recipe.

I don't have pictures of the seeds yet. I was slightly ill yesterday and didn't take the time to do them yet. I'm hoping it was a one day thing and not morning sickness. :)
