Nap time for Christopher has gotten shorter, and of course, Colin's needs cut into that time now. Today, however, on our coldest day thus far (low 30s! it's hat weather!), I was able to mix and bake and chop and roast between the end of lunchtime and the end of nap time. I love turning off the heat in the house for a few hours and keeping things warm by turning on the oven.Pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips, and roasted red potatoes and broccoli. Snacks and the beginning of dinner. Yum. These colors and these smells represent late fall in our family.
I'm looking forward to an extra set of parent hands in the house later next week over the Thanksgiving holiday. Then I can *really* do some damage in the kitchen! A pumpkin pie, stuffing, lots of roasted vegetables, and maybe even some bread baking. Mike is going to barbecue the turkey again this year. Please cross your fingers for him and hope that it doesn't snow!
