Happy first week of October! Fall weather has finally arrived here, and I love it! Got my pumpkins out and loving the cooler temps. This week we had homecoming which is always a lot of fun. Miss E was a candidate, and she really enjoyed the week. No cross country this week. The meet was cancelled because of rain. Darn, but we have two next week to make up for it. Take a look...
Mr J helping me cook dinner. He was making cilantro lime rice for our Cafe Rio pork. Yum!
Fall homecoming candidates being presented to the student body this week. A great group of kids!
Chocolate chip cookies are our thing, and I made them for the cross country team dinner this week. I insist on using butter and real vanilla when I make them because I feel like it makes a difference. Unfortunately real vanilla has been outrageously expensive lately, so I looked into how to make my own. After 6 months "cooking" (basically just sitting on a shelf and me shaking the bottle once a week) my homemade real vanilla is done, and I was able to use it to make these yummy cookies this week. Yum! Excited to have real vanilla to use that is so cheap, and I made it myself!
Homecoming parade. Mr J in there with the cross country team.
And Miss E and her escort in the parade. Always so much fun!
So proud of this girl! She is amazing
Friday night lights, the ceremony before the football game.
One of her best friends who she has known since kindergarten won, and she was so happy for her. They both looked beautiful!
Thanks for visiting! Hope you have a great week!
What a fun week! It's cool you guy have a homecoming parade. The homemade vanilla sounds interesting and a good way to save money. It is crazy expensive these days. I always bake with real butter and real vanilla too.
