BonFire, Four-wheelers and Goats...Oh My!

Last night we headed out to the Country to the Dr. Wannamakers family farm to have a BonFire and burn some Dental School history...Also to play with Goats, and eat treats, and have fun! The gang of kids below...Phoebe, Luke, Allie, Clara, and baby Andrew

Nothing like a boy and a goat! Luke and Bo, He loved it!~

Allie taking her turn as Goat handler...

The Goat likes to drink from the bottle... Not Beer really just water! Funny though!
Warcup Family! We love these guys!

It was so pretty and relaxing, we loved having the space and not having to worry about the kids the whole time, Just Run kiddies! And they did!

Phoebe is making Daddy and I am sure Grandpa proud by being obsessed with the 4-wheeler! She didn't want to get off! She loved it! Luke also had gotten on the golf cart and he turned the key and got it started all on his own! See that Grin that it a Victory Grin! It was actually a bigger grin, but just as I was taking the picture I realized what he had done and turned to ask the boys why that cart was making noises if it was Off... Yeah it wasn't that is why... Key was removed after that!

Here is the Burning! We thought they would go fast but it took AGES! Like dental school the pain lingers! haha (Dr. Jeff and Dr. Jess in the picture too)

family Fun

Well I thought I would share a family tradition...The kids love making pancakes.. but when we make pancakes, we like to make them in cool shapes. Like...Bunnies...

Flowers...Snowmen....pumpkins...We have also had Mickey Mouse, lady bugs, turtles, worms, caterpillars and many other fun things. It also helps the kids actually want to EAT! Which is a win/win for us!~

Butternut Squash with Brown Butter,
this one is faster and in the skillet and sound Yummy!

From: MARTHA!!

The easiest way to peel butternut squash is with a vegetable peeler; the harp-shaped variety works particularly well.

Prep: 8 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 butternut squash (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup low-sodium canned chicken broth
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon dark brown-sugar

Directions

1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. Add squash; saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork, about 16 minutes.
2. Add chicken broth, the water, and brown sugar; cook until liquid has evaporated and squash is nicely caramelized, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Serve. One more thing... Isn't this cool! It is totally on our Christmas list I emailed it to my mom this morning! we have 2 of them (Halloween and Christmas) on VHS but DVD with ALL of them! Just cool! My kids LOVE these shows!
   And if anyone has other great Christmas present ideas please share them with me, since I need to be prepared... Since our big present will be arriving at about that same time!
   

Just for fun....
