Peanut Butter Chunk Cookies

The boys finally figured out how to climb on the kitchen counter.   They sat on the counter all morning & even ate lunch up there.  I figured it was time to put them to work so we made Peanut Butter Chunk Cookies.  With all the Hershey Bars we have from Halloween, this seemed like a great way to get rid of them...

C insisted on wearing his goggles (upside down) so he would be safe when we were using the mixer.

 

 Very excited to help open all the candy bars... 

Peanut Butter Chunk Cookies (this is doubled):

2 eggs
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flower
2/3 cups rolled oats
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups semi sweet chocolate, chopped (we used milk chocolate Hershey bars)

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix all ingredients then put in fridge for 1 hr or until dough is no longer sticky.  Rolls into balls & place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 12 min or until cookies begin to brown.

Thank You Cards Mailed!

200 Thank You's later we are done.  We did not hand write our thank you's.  Instead we had these printed...

Wow Wow Wubbzy!

The boys both decided to be Wubbzy this year.  They got a huge candy haul while trick or treating.  I think we have more candy than we can eat.  Here's some photos (yes, that is snow on the ground)...

 

They had fun painting & carving pumpkins...

The boys also got all dressed up in their Wubbzy costumes for the first Moose Kid's Party...

We also took the boys to the corn maze this year.  They had so much fun running through the maze with flashlights.  We can't wait to do it again next year!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our cheerleader Winnie!

Before & Afters...

We have finally started hanging things on the walls!  The only room left to paint is the basement bathroom.  Everything is coming together finally.  Here are a couple before & after shots.  I'll post the family room & others as we finish them.
Playroom before & after (note: this room is only clean on the days I vacuum)

Boys Room before & After (yes I did blur my kids' names for their privacy/safety).  They recently moved from toddler beds to twin beds. The room is very crowded with the new beds.  I did ask them if they wanted to sleep in separate rooms but it was denied.  C told me they would sleep together in one twin bed.  Oh well... Better luck next year?

Thank You Parasol Pics...

We decided to send photo cards for our thank you's.  (For those wondering why you haven't received a thank you, it's because they are on order with vistaprint.com.)  You can see how I made the thank you parasol here. 

I did a photo collage using three of our wedding photos on one side, four photos of the boys on the other side.  I got an excellent deal through vistaprint, ordering 200 thank you photo cards & envelopes for around $50.  Here's our Thank You shots we had to choose from, one may be coming to a mailbox near you...

Some of My Fave Photos. Finally!

These pics are just some of my faves from the South Dakota wedding.  We are still waiting on pics from our Oct. 2nd photographer.  I'll post them when I can...
