FINALLY, I woke up this morning to a lovely 62 cool degrees. It's still cool, overcast, and lovely outside. I enjoyed (well, not sure if I really enjoyed it) a 2.5 mile run, showered, and sat outside with a cup of coffee. I am in heaven.
Seeing that it finally feels like fall around here, I got the baking bug yesterday. Here's what we accomplished:
Pumpkin muffins.
They are really good. :) My mom sent the stand down in our annual Halloween box. Thank you! The girls go nuts over the Halloween box. I think it might be their favorite thing about Halloween!
No, I did not make these! Amazon had a HUGE sale on Yummy Earth stuff (thanks for the heads-up, Pat!!). I was just about to order some for Kali before I found out about the sale. Thank goodness I waited. Yummy Earth makes all natural, dye free lollipops and they're not exactly cheap. However, I managed to score 700 lollipops, delivered, for just over $19.00 What a deal! Kali is thrilled to be stocked up on lollipops for the next million years, too. Well, we all are - those things are fantastic!
Okay, back to the baking.....
Publix has a sale on these right now. Somehow, 4 bags of them ended up in my cart yesterday. ;) Then I read the back of one of the bags. Oh my. A recipe for chocolate caramel popcorn. How could I not do that?! Alex and the girls got in on the action and we all made it together.
Hannah was melting the caramels.
Still had her sucker, too. ;)
What a silly kid.
She loves cooking with me. I love that she cooks with me. :)
Just after the chocolate started melting on it. My butt is feeling larger already.
You know you want some.
Cooling off on the table. I need to stay far away from this stuff. There's not enough miles in the world that can take off what that would put on; but I will have a little bit.
Today we are off to the pumpkin farm. I cannot wait to be outside and not sweat like a little piggy!

yum! My 2 older boys sell popcorn for scouts and we always get chocolate popcorn. It lasts about 5 min. I'll have to try and make some....
