Disneyland

I picked up Callie after school and Taylor on the way and headed to Disneyland. The whole park was decorated for Halloween. I loved this huge Mickey Mouse Pumpkin. So cute. Even the flowers were orange and brown. The weather was perfect. Paige screamed the entire time on It's a small world. I felt bad for the other riders.
Ariel and Sleeping Beauty telling stories. All the children were memorized.

Preston loves Mickey Mouse. He watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse every day or more. He wanted to go visit Mickey's house.

Labor Day Activities

Yesterday Taylor had off work. We called some friends and went bowling and then went to eat lunch. It was fun visiting with friends and the kids had a lot of fun.Taylor was the best bowler in our group. Go Taylor!
Callie and her good friends, Skylee and Kelsey.
Preston ready to bowl.
Bowling shoes are so ugly. I think I had the oldest ones in the place.
Just a random picture of all 3.

Double chocolate cookie bars

My friend made these. Check out her blog at swankypear.com. They were to die for. I will definitely be making these again. They were so easy too. Thanks Summer.

Double Chocolate Cookie Bars

24 OREO cookies
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Set aside 6 cookies and grind the rest in a food processor or blender. IN a small bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and butter until well blended. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Over a double broiler or in the microwave (for 1 minute), melt 1 cup of chocolate chips together with the condensed milk. Stir and add the vanilla. Stir frequently until smooth. Spread evenly over the crumb crust. Sprinkle the remaining cup of chocolate chips over the top. Break remaining cookies into pieces by hand and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven. Cool completely before cutting into the bars.
