Update on Art Smock & A Few Pumpkin Recipies

First, here are a couple of pictures of the art smock we created for my mom during our trip to Lake Keowee.  Each family member from age 3 months to 62 years old put their footprint on it. 

 Fall is here and that means canned pumpkin is back in the grocery store!  So McCord and I took full advantage yesterday.  My good friend Alice shared this easy recipe with me.  It involves 2 ingredients...

 ...a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, although I've tried that before and it's pretty good too - just different consistency).

1. Combine Spice Cake mix and pumpkin

2. Mix well

3. Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes

I think she said that this is a Weight Watchers recipe, so you can't feel too guilty about indulging!

McCord and I also found this recipe to try out for pumpkin butter.  It's delicious and whips up enough that you can share with your whole neighborhood!

And finally, a few pictures of McCord and his best friend Marley.

Thank you Cousin Bayer for my new hand-me-downs!
