my muffin man

Today was Gretchen's day at school. We dropped her off, came home for snack and then headed back out to do a couple errands. I needed rolls and ice cream. We did pretty well in Walmart. It wasn't too crowded at 10am. mostly old people shopping who were very friendly. We said "Happy Thanksgiving" to many folks. Then, we headed to the library to renew a princess book and pick up a couple movies. They recently extended the loan time on videos to one week. It was 3 days. That was hard to actually get to watch the movie and get it back a couple days later.

Carl picked 2 movies (one Donald Duck and one Christmas mix of PBS shows) and 2 Morris the Moose books. Man, he was excited to find those on the shelf! He went up to some father who was sitting reading by himself while his daughter did a puzzle. The guy did not seem to realize just how freaking adorable this boy was who had the Morris The Moose book shoved in his face. I mean, he was polite and smiled a little, but he didn't respond to Carl's questions or excited statements. Here's Carl later this afternoon reading some of his favorites, Morris The Moose and Biscuit books. Molly & Angus don't like to be far away. Ever.

Then, we came home and baked our pumpkin muffins for tomorrow. There's the challenge. "Tomorrow." Both kids managed to get one with dinner and were trying to scam more out of us. I managed to save a dozen still for tomorrow's snack and dinner. They are Lindy's favorite, too.

He looks good in his apron, too! It doesn't get as much use as Gretchen's. He did enjoy reporting to Lew all about how we baked today.
