So remember that apple picking I did? I have so many apples! I made homemade applesauce, we ate apples, and I made apple pie. Still have soooooo many. Send recipes please! Any apple recipe you have tried and loved! We have a variety of kinds so if it requires a specific apple feel free to mention that too!

I have been busy. 3 out 5 of the books coming out next year have the 1st draft done and are with the editor (who is cursing my name for popping them out so quickly).

I am getting covers for all the books being released now through 2021. You may have seen them on the series page or on the home page being added as I get them. So many pretties. I like having the covers early it will make marketing easier (since a cover required for that).

On a personal note my cat is on a new medication. I am hoping for the best. But just in case he needs a transplant anyone know where to buy pet organs? There is a black market for human organs so there has to be one for cats....I mean everyone loves their pets. ;) I did tell the vet if my cat needed a transplant to find one with the right blood type and I would scrap it for parts. Anything it takes. They told my cat not to be mad that I brought him to the vets because I loved him...a lot. There is no price to high to make my baby better (my hubby says we should stop just short of bankruptcy and I said bring on the bankruptcy my kitty gonna be happy and healthy).

I am looking forward to autumn. My son, bestie and I have already gone apple picking for the early bird apples. We are going again in October. I have ordered our Halloween costumes as well. (My almost 6 year old son picks the theme). I know its only September but I hate waiting until everything is gone and if they send the wrong sizes I like having time to correct the issue. Anyway my son is going to be squirtle and then wear the outfit as pjs (double duty = awesome) and I shall be charmander (also one piece pj that I plan to live in all winter). My bestie will be pikachu.

We have yet to convince the hubby to trick or treat with us and dress up. He does however loves the pumpkin picking then carving process. He is really good at it so that likely helps. I like the scooping pumpkin guts out. Hubby always laughs saying I'm am a terrible girl because I love getting dirty. I jump in mud puddles, love making meatloaf because you use your hands to mix it and other weird things like that. I prefer to describe it as being connected to my inner child.

Well happy upcoming autumn. Feel free to share costume ideas and or pics. We are open to ideas for next year (we really love Halloween). Below you will see my sons and mine for this year. (not us the amazon pics)
