F is for Fall Fun!

The last few weeks have been pretty crazy, but they've been so much fun! Harper is at such a great age, and it's the first fall where she is able to really enjoy the season and what it brings. For example, with the cooler weather, my wonderful husband has been making me Nutella hot chocolate in the mornings. So we let Harper in on the secret goodness of hot chocolate. Here she is enjoying her first cup ever in her own little Harper-sized mug...

Harper has discovered pumpkins now, too. Her Grandpa Holohan sent her "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", which started her love for the festive icon. So I found some sugar cookies with pumpkins on them for us to bake together. This was our first time making cookies together. She was such a great helper!

Then it was time to put them in the oven. Who knew that would be so tragic? Harper did not understand why she couldn't have a cookie after being such a great helper! The concept of "waiting for them to bake" was not one she cared to understand. We were able to distract her eventually, and after a very long 8 minutes, she was able to partake in the "puckin tookies."
