Recipe exchange...

So I don't know about you guys but Chris seems like he is studying more and later into the evening. I thought it would be fun to get all the moms together just to hang out, talk/vent, eat (you know things we do best!). I love the fall and all the yummy treats and goodies and I always love getting everyone elses fun recipes. I thought it would be a fun idea to do a recipe exchange. So everyone find your fav recipe whether it is a salad, soup, appetizer, treat whatever make it that night for the recipe exchange. Then bring your recipe and we can compile them and post them on the blog. I was thinking we could do this next Wednesday Nov. 5th at my place say 6ish. Let me know what you think or if this is even a good night? And bring the kids that way Dads can study and our kids can all play together!!

Halloween Party Update

Okay, so no one complained about the new time, so I'm assuming that tomorrow at 2 is a good time! Please tell me if your going so I know how many I need to prepare for with crafts. And so everyone else can know for food prep. Also, I don't know where unpaid parking is around there so at 1:30 I'm going to be at the law school and I'm going to take the stroller and walk there. It's suppose to be a beautiful day (like today) and it's a beautiful walk, so it will be nice. If any one wants to meet me there, let me know and we can walk together!

Thanks!

Halloween Party

How about the Halloween party for our kids be on Wednesday afternoon at two o' clock At river front park by the big wagon slide.? It is a little late notice, so if too many people have a problem with this time then we can change it. Everyone bring their favorite fall/halloween snack or dessert and we'll have games and crafts. It's suppose to be 59 degrees and partly sunny, so perfect fall weather! Have your kids wear their costumes and come to have fun! If you want to help with crafts and games, let me know! And don't forget to invite all those who may not know about this site yet!

Pumpkin Patch Blast!

My family went to the pumpkin patch today and I reccommend it to everyone! We had a blast. At first we went to Carvers Farms by the Idaho border and that really dissapointed us. All the pumpkins were rotting and the corn maze was....I couldn't even tell it was a maze! So we left pumpkinless and bummed out. But then we went to Mead and tried Siemers farms and we had a totally different experience! (Thanks Sheena for posting about it!) There were tons of different pick-your-own farms around there and they were all competing against each other so the quality was a million times better. There was an apple fest where they had great photo oppertunities and different vendors selling their crafts, food and such. Then we went to Knapps Farms where they have a Pumpkin launcher where they shoot a pumpkin out of a cannon every hour. At that same place they had a corn maze, which was in much better shape than the one at Carvers but costs 1.00 to get in. They also had a hay maze for kids. There were chickens and ponies and donkeys to play with and the pumpkins are in great shape. At the apple fest they had horse drawn hay rides which looked fun, but there was an hour wait in the line, so we didn't do that. But anyway, if you are looking for a fun fall activity, I would go to Mead. But hurry, I think they close at the end of October.

Plans for the Halloween Party

I haven't heard if we decided to have a Halloween party on the 24th or 25th like Shenna suggested below. Who's all up for it? My best time is the 24th during the afternoon. I would love to help with decorations and food prep! We still need to find a place to host it, though. Any volunteers or suggestions? The best I can do is see if my apartment can reserve its clubhouse for the alotted time but I live out in Liberty Lake and that may be far for most of you. Please reply with your best date and time and what you'd like to help with, if anything! Ideas and suggestions for it are great too! Thanks!

Picture Help

Before it gets too cold, I would like to get a family picture taken, but don't have anyone to take it. We were thinking about Sunday afternoon around 4:00 at Manito Park...if that works for anyone. Beggars can't be choosers so I am definietely flexible on day and time. I can either take pictures of your family that day to pay you back or make you dinner or whatever you can come up with. Any volunteers? Sorry I missed the nature walk. It sounded like fun!

Nature Walk Fun

The Nature walk was tons of fun! It was a great way to start off the fall season!

The boys were having so much fun finding sticks and sweeping them on the ground. Maddy had to have a stick of her own. But rather than sweeping the dried pine needles around on the ground, Maddy had a different use for her stick.....yummy.

The senery was amazing. This is my first fall in Spokane, and I was glad to see nature's crisp autumn here. We went to the woods at Liberty Lake and besides the warning we saw about bear sightings, it was a rather peaceful and fun walk!

It was a little chilly though! Hoodies for everyone! Too bad it just started to warm up right as soon as we walked back to the cars!

Halloween Party?

So, I'm just thinking out loud, but how does everyone feel about a Halloween party (maybe the weekend before Halloween)? I think it would be fun to let the kids wear their costumes and we can do a potluck-type party.  What do you think??

NATURE WALK

Here's the deal. I've asked around and around and everyone keeps telling me to go to the Liberty Lake trail. I guess it's pretty mountainous and pretty. So- sorry it's not out in a more fair location but I think that's where we're going to go tomorrow. If you want to meet at my apartment (Big Trout Lodge- need directions? Call me- 801-891-1532). Be here by 10 a.m. and bring a lunch or snacks if you want. Should be fun. Tomorrow is only supposed to be mid 50's in temperature so bring your jackets (or coats!!).

Hope to see many of you here!

Pumpkin Patch, anyone?

So, I finally have a Saturday off on the 11th, and I want to take Ka'ena to Siemer's Farm in Mead.  It looks like lots of fun--wagon rides, and pumpkins, and tons of stuff for kids to play on. So, if anyone would like to meet up, let me know! (also, I got a new number: 5092902369). Check out the website at siemersfarm.com.

Law school BBQ

Chris mentioned there was a BBQ tonight at the law school. I wasn't sure if it was for families or just the students, does anyone know? If it is for families and if it wasn't raining I thought I would go down early and walk over to the Downtown mall for a little while if anyone wants to come let me know.

Nature Walk

I was maybe going to go for a nature walk next week on Wednesday, October 8 to look at and collect the fall leaves with my boys. I'm not quite sure a place to go....thought about going to the Mt. Spokane area possibly. Does anyone know of a good place to do this? Anyone want to come along?
