That's a lot of pie! This was my first year making a pumpkin pie. Where I screwed up was not properly finishing the pumpkin puree to get the extra liquid out. Our freezers are full right now, so it's hard finding space. The fridge freezer is also currently frosting everything, the gaskets are...

Oh, and the cornbread should have been cooked maybe 5-10 minutes more. I used the zig zag pan so it didn't sink in the middle, but the area around the turns were a little undercooked.

Yep! Had a good gathering, got to see relatives haven't seen in quite a while. Kid 3 was center of attention for a good bit, they enjoyed feeding her and trying to get her to roll over. Kids 1 + 2 refused to nap and started getting crazy towards the end of the gathering. They fell asleep on the...

Turkey is in the roaster. Cornbread is done. Feet are tired again. Less than 2 hours before people start arriving. Less than 4 hours before dinner.

Fingers feel a ton better this morning. I put aquaphor medicated cream on them with bandaids overnight. Left hand fingers are the worst, middle and thumb. Right hand is mostly ok, just hurting when I poke it. Made cinnamon rolls this morning, should have let them rise more, but they should...

My feet hurt, I've been standing for hours in the kitchen. We are changing to canned cranberry. Bread rolls are in the oven with the mini pumpkin pies. I did a stupid and burned my fingers. I put the first pan of the mini pumpkin pies in the oven and then filled the shells for the second pan. I...

We went to a day before Thanksgiving parade with the kids, my mom, and brother's girlfriend. We had fun but kid 1 was bummed because he wasn't as fast as the other kids and we apparently sat too close to the end of the parade so there wasn't as much candy being thrown. Kid 1 still got a few...

I think my oven is having issues. Set it for 400, but thermometer said it was around 450... can't wait to get kitchen upgraded. Baked the pumpkin for about an hour till it was fork tender all over, then let it cool and scooped the insides into the big Tupperware. This is going to make a lot of...

The first big pumpkin I grew this year is going to be pie and bread. Started processing it, it weighed 14 pounds! And it smells so good! The guts came out really easily. I didn't save seeds, might on the next one.

Kid 3 is rolling to back and to front now. Gonna be a crawler soon. Still super smiley happy baby. Big brothers both love on her, they are so sweet. Kid 1 arm burn is almost fully healed, just a patch of red skin now.

Kid 1 went up to grandpa's cabin with grandpa and dad on Friday and stayed the night until Saturday. Saturday morning he got too close to the wood stove pipe and burned his arm just below the elbow. I'm thankful it wasn't too big or bad of a burn, and it wasn't on his face or hands. So far its...

Are these rosehips? This is a rose at my MIL's house.

Got into the garden Saturday, pulled out some of the zucchini plants that were done, and all the scalloped squash and cucumber. The zucchini got a bit crazy, again. There's still more baby zucchini on the vines I left. They will probably be monsters by the time I get back out there again...

Glued my shoe back together, probably going to buy new shoes this weekend. Kid 3 had her 6 month checkup this week, and she rolled over! I had just finished telling the dr that she hadn't rolled yet because she's had less tummy time than her brothers since we don't want her being trampled...

Now my shoe is falling apart. This has been a week. And its not even over.

Hubby says the particle board is just gone in that area. So that part of the floor was just the vinyl flooring, no wonder it was squishy when stepped on. I'm worried what we are going to find when we start opening things up. We might just put the plywood over the hole and do the master bathroom...

I fell through the floor in the bathroom trying to get kid 1 out of the shower! He was fine, I had just barely started lifting him up. My back feels a little jolted and my hip feels like it got whacked against the floor when I fell through. Hubby put a piece of plywood over it for now, guess...

We talked to a realtor on Saturday. They are going to get us some info for comps. We are going to continue decluttering and cleaning up. They are also supposed to get us contact info for a survey person, so we can confirm where the property lines are and get the last portion of the property...

Our current house is a triple wide. Pretty sure if we had a stick built it would be higher. We reroofed in 2023 after kid 2 was born, didn't tear off just added spacing boards, plywood and new shingles. Hasn't leaked since thankfully.

For Halloween kid 1 wanted to be a T Rex, and wanted kid 2 to be a smaller T Rex. Kid 3 did not wear a costume this year, I just bundled her up in a blanket and a sling and pushed the stroller while hubby wrangled the dinos. We visited a friend's house who lives in a good neighborhood for trick...
