This has been a good week for me. When we got back from Tulsa on Sunday, it was like all the sudden the trees were all beautiful colors, and there were leaves all over the ground. We were just talking about how we need to purchase a rake very soon. The weather has been in the 60's and all we want to do is be outside.
On Tuesday, Mitch worked so I spent the day hanging around the house. I have had a few more leads on jobs, and have another interview next week, but I still don't think this is something I want to do. I guess we'll see...
On Wednesday, Mitch and I had lunch at one of our favorite local mexican restaurants and went shopping. Later that afternoon, we went over to Michelle's house. Since Will is already down in Dallas, Mitch cut his grass for him. While he was doing that, I took Peanut for a walk. Once again, the weather here is just perfect and I love that I can wear sweatpants, hoodies, and open up all the windows in the house. This time of year is gorgeous and I think October is my new favorite month!
When we got home, we tried making a new dessert. I found this recipe on my friend Elizabeth's facebook. Thank you...it was delicious! It was Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecake cupcakes...yes it taste as good as it sounds! I used the orange Halloween oreos to get in the Halloween spirit :) Here is a picture...mine didn't turn out quite like the picture, but they were good!
That night we made chicken lasagna. It is my friend Summer's family recipe and it is so good! We made a ton, so we have left over for the rest of the week! It is difficult to make...we started cooking at 4 that afternoon and didn't eat until around 6:30...but it was so worth it.
Last week was Mitch's mom and Michelle's birthday so we had everyone over for our oreo dessert last night. It was nice to visit with family.
Today we got up early to a cold house! It has been so nice because this past month we have not had to turn on our air since it is so nice outside, but at night and in the morning when it gets into the 30's and 40's our house gets a little chilly. Since we were up, we made some hot coffee and thought we would go to the pumpkin patch.
There is a church that has a pumpkin patch right down the road and every time we pass it, we always talk about how we are going to stop...so we fianlly did. It was a lot of fun and we picked out some pumpkins, but there was no one out there to take our money....so I guess we will have to go back :)
After lunch, we headed to play golf. I was afraid it was going to be too cold, but it ended up being a nice day. The course was beautiful and I am sad we won't get to play much longer.
Since it was such a cool day, we just drove around downtown Bentonville and admired all the beautiful trees. While we were driving, we found a new walking trail...well it is actually an old one. Bentonville has got so many new walking trails in the last year and this one is older so we had never seen it before. So tonight we went and walked it. It was sooo long, we only walked a little bit of it.
It goes all through downtown Bentonville and by all the old historic houses. I am very excited we found it...it is going to become my new favorite running trail, especially during this time of year. Here is a picture of one of the trees along the trail. The picture doesn't show it well, but it is bright red!! So pretty!
So I have realized it is a bad idea to write this while we watch our shows, it has taken me twice as long...so I am going to wait and post some of our dinner recipes next time, but will post the link to the Oreo Cream Cheesecake.
Well I hope all of you have a fantastic Friday and enjoy your weekend! I am looking forward to this weekend, I have a very special friend coming to visit :)
