It's October already?
Yes, light a harvest-scented candle and put on a sweater, because it's the best season of the year! And for the kids' grandparents this month, they helped us make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. (As you know, we’re doing a year of chocolate chip cookies … even though I think this recipe would have been better with butterscotch chips. But maybe that’s just me….)

With the pumpkin and the warming spices, like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger, these cookies are full of fallish flavor. But they are admittedly a bit moist. Well, wet. You see, pumpkin is mostly water. And we used a huge can of pumpkin. I double-checked the recipe for the size of the can and, because it said 'one can,' I thought we'd be fine. Well, they’re certainly not bad, but they’re more like muffins than cookies. Still not bad, right? To make them better, I recommended whipping up some frosting and making whoopie pies out of them.

Hi Justin, Kate, Elizabeth & Henry! Great photos, as always. I like E's apron, and it's nice to see she is out of her cast.
I think I've said this before: I take a peek at your blog when I want a dose of some serious cuteness.
Hugs to everyone. Take care. Love, Aunt Meg.
