No Bake Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Balls

You will need:  3/4 cup quick oats (60g) 1/2 cup oat flour (or make your own by blending oats in a food processor until they become powder. Measure after blending.) (75g) 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 cup xylitol or sugar (or coconut sugar or sucanat) (55g) 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional: a pinch pumpkin pie spice as well) optional: handful mini chocolate chips 1/3 cup canned pumpkin (or sweet potato puree) (80g) 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons milk of choice, as needed 1 tablespoon oil (omit if you desire, but I can’t vouch for the results) 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract Instructions: Combine all dry ingredients and stir very well. In a separate bowl, combine all liquid (including pumpkin). Then stir to combine, and form into balls or cookies. Or put in the fridge to firm up a little before forming cookies.

Lego stamped pumpkin art!

We have tons of Legos, and Hasting loves playing with Legos.  So since it's September, I like to start our fall crafting ASAP.  Today it was this!  Annestyne even enjoyed it too. Of course, she was a tad messier than her brother.  You'll need:  3 Legos  Paint (Orange, green, brown)  White paper Scissors  I provided the paper, paint, and Legos. I used 3 different sheets of paper, otherwise hasting would have gotten crazy and did all 3 colors on top of one another!  Once finished, I let them dry and just used the scissors to cut the pumpkin, leave, and stem out. (If your child is older they can cut their own. But we are still working on using scissors in this house).  And Hasting with his finished product! He really enjoyed this one! So if you have a Lego lover, try this! You could also do a corn stalk too! But we like pumpkins here!!
