October=Pumpkin Lovin

I went to Walmart yesterday to pick up one thing (nail polish) but I had the hardest time getting out of the FALL aisle! I looked at everything at least twice, smelled all the candles, brushed my fingers over the bright orange pumpkins and even picked up a few things (mostly decorations) and carried them around for awhile. At that moment I really wished that money grew on trees because I wanted to buy so many things in celebration of Fall. But thanks to God and the accountability to my wonderful husband, I only left with nail polish. :)

Last night Ryan and I celebrated our favorite month and season by making pumpkin bread and watching You've Got Mail (my friend Kelly and I think this movie classifies as a fall movie). We bought 4 cans of pumpkin because we remembered that last year grocery stores ran out due to the ruined pumpkin crop. There was no way WE were going to be short on pumpkin this season. I love to bake and want to bake a lot of things with pumpkin this season. The recipe we used last night made 3 loaves. We gave 2 away to neighbors and kept one (which we added walnuts in). An incredible aroma filled our home as we cuddled up close on the couch enjoying a sweet love story! Of course we captured all of this on camera!
Happy Fall to you and we hope you will take some time this month to shop in the Fall aisle at your favorite store, bake with pumpkin, savor the smells, share with neighbors and cuddle up close on the couch for a movie!
