Autism Society Greater Phoenix recommended What's Crackin Cafe They were very kind and brunch was amazing. 🥂 🍳 🥞

Next up was Goldfield Ghost Town. It was iconic. Old train ride 🚂 , mine tour ⛏️ , house of illusions 😵‍💫. Ice cream, homemade goods from a little shop, and prickly pear lemonade. Holy cow it was so much like a movie.

📖 Wrapping the day up with poolside reading.

….within minutes of getting home from lunch, we were in the pool. Nolans swimming is getting awesome! 👏🏻 We then decided on a sunset hike with a view to from Adero Canyon. Took a photo loved it. Kept getting better and better. Took more photos. Nolan high fived a cactus and his only reaction was to suck on his finger. Let’s go just one more viewpoint up and mom stepped on a teddy bear cactus and it stuck in her shoe—turns out those have good hooks. 😬 final sunset as we came down and then we went grocery shopping hungry for butter and ended up with cart full of groceries. Dinner and pool before early bed.

Couldn’t even fit this whole day in one post….
Scottsdale morning.
Breakfast with friends at HASH KITCHEN | by Chef Joey. Sparkle bomb mimosa and build your own bloody with a family breakfast combo for the win win win.
Headed to the boardwalk for candy and then OdySea Aquarium. Sharks in the bathroom never get old. We tethered Nolan today and thank goodness because he was quite the happy flappy hopper. Stella and Bryce loved being tall enough to reach the stingrays even if Stella’s face begs to differ. Nolan telling us he wanted to swim 😆 Stella and mom got a Starbucks treat and Stella took a selfie with doll and drink and said, and I quite, “mom life!” So not sure if I’m winning or losing at life 🤷🏻‍♀️ Pip the penguin was a hit and even got some kisses. LOVE the the spinning aquarium! Finishing up with sharks, 67 and more sharks. Portillo's Hot Dogs for a late lunch and…… time for a new post

Arizona you are treating us well. Dad worked today so we had a pool day planned. I held them off as long as I could but by 8:30 Nolan was already in the pool in his pjs so it was time to just let them. We read for pleasure, we read for homework. We had a charcuterie lunch through the pass through. Dad joined after work and we went with his coworker and family on a hike McDowellMountain Regional Park Did I wear my cactus shirt for a reference sheet? Yes, yes I did. We did tether Nolan to us because he seemed “darty” but didn’t need it. He was a rock star (except he refused to pick up his feet and proceeded shuffle his feet in the gravel for 1.8 miles getting on moms last overstimulated nerve but we ended smiling). Stella was bit/stung by something so thank goodness for First Aid for Families. Not many can still carry their 10 year old on their hip but here I am. Quick husband wife selfie because look at us! We’re doing it! Eddie was one cool dude on the ride home. Cooled back off in the pool - Nolan hasn’t quite figured out swimming but it’s been a work in progress—- and look at this kid laying down and kicking and paddling! Sent it to his teacher and adaptive swim teacher and they were as excited as me! One could get used to pool and sunset.

I feel like the holidays are a sprinting marathon…but I look forward to it every year! Kicking off the season with Halloween pumpkin seeds on my Caraway Home bakeware. Less oils, less stick, less clean up, more cooking and times with the family-just what the holidays ordered.

Brewers are in the World Series and Stella is in her Harry Potter era- so she would accept nothing but Hermione. So Halloween Brewers for the porch it is!

Pumpkin Carving Ideas, tips tricks and hacks
We tried all the new trends I’ve seen going around on all the social media.
🎃 take off the bottom not the top (we used bowls to hold them still)
🎃 use a hand mixer to loosen the guts
🎃 remove the guts (into the bowl we used to hold them cutting the bottom)
🎃 use dry erase (red) to draw faces so you have some grace with the cutting without seeing lines
🎃 use cookie cutters and a hammer (ones with no little ledge and metal seemed to work best)
🎃 they worked great, will be using all of these again!

Today’s double booking- trunk or treat for dad and the kids, mom autism board meeting (took digital to eliminate the over an hour in the car) and construction. So close….. at least this room.

spooky eggs!
🥚 hard boil eggs. I use my egg maker.
🥚 I cracked all the shells gently, put in cold water to cool them down, and dropped food coloring in that cold water. Stir.
🥚 let sit about an hour
🥚 using a spoon take them out and dry them off.
🥚 peel to reveal spooky eggs!
Super easy to do and a fun, healthy, spooky treat.
