Lazy Fall Afternoon

Lazy fall afternoon so I made pumpkin muffins and bread. Turned out so good!

Hiking

We took the girls hiking on a trail on City Park one afternoon. It so nice here in New Orleans now that it's fall!

Fawn asleep on the trail.

Apple Pie

The most time consuming part no doubt! You think oh, 8 apples, this won't take long. Um, no.. Peeling and cutting into 1 inch chunks took a WHILE.

Into the oven!

Finito

Since it's the beginning of fall I thought what better way to start the season then to bake a classic apple pie. It was my first, but I'm pretty proud of it! I felt the crust had too much salt, but everything else turned out great!

The recipe is here:

ANTIQUE APPLE PIE

The Flu.

Little sicky napping on the couch

Being silly at the doctor

Watching a computer screensaver-cute ponytails!

Getting everything checked out!

Watching a movie- the Little Mermaid no doubt.

All better! (kinda)

Playing

Pretty miserable couple of weeks, I'm not gunna lie. Ryan came home with the flu, then like domino effect it was handed down to Arrolyn, then me, then Fawn last. I took the sweeties to the doctor and on top of the flu they both have ear infections in both ears. We made it through the week and we're feeling better luckily.
