Pumpkin Pizzas & S'mores

Pumpkin pizzas before baking...

After... doesn't look as pretty, but hey, I tried!

Ready to make s'mores!!!

Reid's 2nd time to roast marshmellows in the chimnea.  This should be a weekly tradition!  How good are s'mores??!!



And now for the good part... smushing the marshmellow onto the graham cracker!

Oh yeah!  That's what I'm talkin' about!

Such fun memories with our sweet Reid. :)


My boys... sweetest men on earth (and Riley too :)

Last weekend I decided it would be fun to make pumpkin pizzas.  Halloween was over, but hey, it's still fall, fun, & festive, right?  Reid loved the idea and thought they were pretty tasty too!  Just english muffins, pizza sauce, monterrey jack cheese and pepperonis cut into triangular shapes.  Easy!  
 
For several weeks, Reid has been asking if we can make s'mores again (we did it last year about this same time for the 1st time with Reid).  I kept telling Reid it was just a wee bit too warm for a fire outside.  But alas, last Friday night, it was nice & cool outside!   A perfect night for roasting marshmellows!  We had a ball and Reid was as happy as he could be that night!  He danced around like a crazy man and ate WAY too many s'mores, but hey, when you're a kid, who cares!  We should definitely make this a Lindsay tradition during the cold weather months!  Happy Fall!

Fall Cooking & Decorating Fun

I've had a little fun this fall doing a little decorating/crafting and making a few little goodies of my own.  I recently hosted a jewelry party (Stella & Dot) and had a ton of fun finding fun "Halloween-y" type recipes to make it a little extra festive!  I just had to share these pictures to remind myself for next year!

I've also been having little fun being "crafty" this fall.  I found these adorable wreaths on a girl's blog and also found them on pinterest too.  Don't you just love that site!  I've wasted spent way too many hours on that site looking at cool things I would love to have & make! 
Here is my own stab at being Mrs. Crafty Crafterson.... 

 Wreath #1... went up WAY before the 2nd one was finished.  These are fun to make, but a little time consuming the first time I tried it. 

Wreath #2-- came together a heck of a lot faster than the first one.  Much easier after I knew what I was doing!


And voila!  Both wreaths now happily hanging together!

Happy Fall!  I am having so much fun this year!  Hope you are too! 
Happy Halloween! Hope you & your little ones have a safe and fun trick or treating night!
