Pumpkin Patch Chronicles

home made granola bars. Miller staple food! No high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated oils and way less fat and calories than store bought.
5 cups rice crispy cereal
4 cups oats
1 cup honey
1 cup splenda
1 cup natural chunky peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 pinches cinnamon (optional)
mix cereal and oats and any other add ins; raisins, craisins, carob or chocolate mini chips, anything you want to add. Then melt and mix sugar, honey, peanut butter and vanilla in the microwave. Add to all dry ingredients and press into a slightly olive oil sprayed pan. Let sit for as long as you can wait! Cut into bars or squares and enjoy....

Annual trip to Pumpkin Patch, we had so much fun...Notice how beautiful my friend Michelle looks and how special I appear to be! hmmmm
The clan! They hear us coming, 9 kids between the two of us plus some friends tagged along!

So Luke had more fun on the Jungle Gym than he did the pumpkin patch. He said the pumpkins were boring............Levi is POTTY TRAINED, we made a couple of trips to the port o pottys. Levi was pretty sure he was gonna fall in, I earned his trust that day!!!!!
