October the month to Create!

This October has been much nicer weather vs. last year. I do love the fall it is such a creative month don't you agree. It is also a time when I love to bake a lot....

Porter's favorite - Chocolate Minty's he calls them...


2 Cups sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Cups Shortening
(Creme together)
4 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cooking cocoa
(Mix all ingredients together well)
4-5 cups flour (until cookie doughish :)
3/4 bag of Andies Mint chips, found by chocolate chips
Bake at 325 degrees until done about 7 min.

Kaden's creativity has been going strong this month as well....

Kaden made this beautiful crown for Ava.

Karl, Ethan and Wayne are making more rocking horses this month.
