In Less Than 24 Hours....

I have done a lot!! Man, not having the weight of school on my shoulders sure does make it easier for me to let my hair down!

             Last night we had movie night with some awesome Jiffy pop and treats

And what is movie night without a fort???

I woke up early this morning to cool of the house and let the morning air waft through the windows and doors. So, while I did that, I decided to try my hand at a new recipe for cinnamon pull apart bread. 

 It took a while to do, but it was well worth it!

 Flour mixture, Egg, and butter mixture

 Cinnamon and sugar mixture ( I added a bit of brown sugar too and nutmeg)

 Almost like making cinnamon rolls

 Layered up

 Stack in the pan

DROOL. 

It was SO yummy! 

There is still some left.... so far 

 While I waited for the dough to rise and bake, I ventured to my flower garden and front porch to admire these beauties.

Summer is grand in deed!

Pics, Waiting and Plans for Christmas

 

 Poor Benji has had a head cold that has been very draining on him... as you can see. He is such a happy guy, even when he is sick!

The boys and I had a Toy Story Marathon! 1,2 and 3! we broke out the blankets, popcorn, and Toy Story popcorn buckets. They LOVED it! They sat through all of them too (mind you with wiggle breaks in between)


They are starting to hand out callings in our new ward.. and I know what ever happens, happens, but I am anxiously awaiting a phone call! They called the Relief Society already, and have mutual planned for this week.. so we will see. I am just excited for the changes that will be taking place and seeing everything unfold.

Heeeee Heeeee..... oh does the Bateman Clan have plans for Christmas!  We, as a family, are planning on some special things within our ward. I cannot say much, but it will be FUN!
