Fall is in the AIR?!?!?!

I don't think in Houston, Fall is EVER in the air...lol! But it is October and that means it's time for one of my most favorite recipes!!

PUMPKIN MUFFINS---------------

1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. oil 2 eggs
1/3 c. water
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 c. flour
1 c. pumpkin

Mix first 5 ingredients together. Then add spices, soda,flour and pumpkin. Grease mini-muffin tins and bake at 350degrees for about 20 minutes. This will make 4 dozenmini-muffins. They can be made ahead of time and frozen inZiplock bags.

These little muffins are the bomb! I love to make them up for teachers before the Thanksgiving break, they are always a huge hit...at home and everywhere!! SO, if you make anything with pumpkin, you HAVE to make this!!

YUMMY!!

Driving....

So, today we had 4 soccer games. On the way to soccer games #2 and 3, we stopped to pick up Cami, Kaitlyn's BFF---and waiting at the light on Louetta and Stuebner, we were hit from behind. The kids freaked out! I heard a CRASH, and looked in the rearview mirror only to see a minivan coming for me...so, I let off the brake and moved as close as I could to the car in front of me, except, it wasn't nearly enough room, so the minivan hit me and moved us, luckily, NO ONE was hurt and we didn't hit the car in front of us. I told the kids to stay put, while Cami and Kaitlyn were almost in tears. When I got out and could only see the car behind me and saw how crashed the front was, I was almost in tears...LOL! But much to my surprise, the minivan had hit my towing hitch and tore her bumper up...mine had a couple of scratches on it and the hitch had some license plate on it, but otherwise we were good!! THANK Goodness! The lady in the minivan had been hit by a teenager and her car was not in good shape! Plus she was pregnant! I asked her if she wanted me to stay with her, but she said she was fine....so, we proceeded to the games! I used this time as a learning tool for the kiddos...reminding them about seatbelts, and other car manners!! WHEW!!
So, when I called Dwayne, he didn't answer --- he was working ---he called back about 1.5 hours later and I told him we'd been in an accident, his response was "SHUT UP"!!! LOL! We play around a lot, so he didn't believe me! Anyway....no moral to my story, just wanted to tell it!!

I'm just glad tomorrow is Sunday! A day of rest! After 4 games of soccer, we were literally at the field from 8am til about 4:30pm with about an hour break inbetween!!!

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday! After church...I'm going to hit the couch and do nothing!! Except of course, wash Corey's gym uniform...UGH...the dreadfulness of Jr. HIGH!! See you all later!!!!!
