3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

Use fun shapes.  Since it's still fall, I used leaf cutters.  But this recipe is so easy to use for all season and holidays!

Score the "leaf" with a knife so that it looks even more realistic.

Bake in the oven at 325F for about 13-15 minutes.  Cool on a cookie rack and enjoy!

Make lots of different shapes for variety.

Put it in a nice tin and bring it to your next party!

Happy Thanksgiving to our Cousins down South

Happy Thanksgiving!  Yes, I know we already celebrated Thanksgiving last month but any excuse to have turkey, right?  Here's another pic of me and Monkey this past October.

Today Monkey was concerned that the squirrels weren't getting enough nuts for their winter storage.  So, we ended up leaving some snacks.  He also thought they might like some cheerios and goldfish.  Afterwards, he stomped on some more nuts because he knew they didn't have a nutcracker.  He's so sweet!

Gobble gobble to everyone out there celebrating Thanksgiving!

Under 50 Bucks - Bag it!

Another day, another lovely treasury.  I love ETSY people.  They really know how to search for really cool items.  My Josh and Teo stroller bag was included in this treasury of bags.  I love love love the grey shoulder bag with the rose detail.   Here's a link to ETSY.

It's been a crazy crazy week and I have yet to post some of our adventures.  Reason?  I just discovered Pinterest and Twitter.  More things to distract me :o)
