pumpkiny goodness.

Apparently Oregon hasn't recieved the memo about it being September.

(this is one of the hottest weeks we've had all summer)

I LOVE September (not just because it's my birthday month) but because it's normally the perfect temp outside and I love all the colorful leaves.

Oh and all the pumpkin goodies start to make their way around the blogosphere.

I typically go into a baking-with-pumkin-frenzy until I get so tired of it that I don't want to see another can of pumpkin for a year.

Perfect.

Here are some of the recipes I've seen floaing around Pinterest lately...

pumpkin spice pancakes

pumpkin chocolate chip brownies

via

pumpkin pie french toast

layered pumpkin chocolate cheesecake bars

pumpkin nutella muffins

pumpkin crunch cake

pumpkin cupcakes with maple frosting

pumpkin scones

pumpkin pie bites

Do you have any good pumpkin recipes I should try?

weekend in review.

...on a Tuesday.

(go figure)

there were a lot of wagon rides to the park:

and lots of playing with Picibooth:

at Home Depot:

at Tasty 'n Sons for date night:

and Ruby Jewel:

Saturday morning lattes:

at my dad's surprise 60th birthday party:

(he really liked the nuts)

like father like son:

after running through the sprinklers for the first time:

Ember was a little relaxed:

working on the overgrown front yard with the in-laws:

and we got our new pendant light up and running:

(notice the white dining room as well!)

we got a sweet Edison style bulb for added interest:

I also joined this century and got an iphone!

Any favorite apps I should get?
