Un-Laborious Day

Who wants to labor on labor day? Not us, that's for sure. Justin had the day off and I didn't have class so we soaked up the September sun. We spent most of the day outside, we went for a walk with the dogs, washed the car, and played in the yard. We capped of the day by going over to Justin's grandparent's house for dinner, and ate way too much. All-in -all a good Monday.

And what would be a perfect fall day without some fresh cranberries! I took my 2 cups of just picked cranberries and turned them into this delicious crustless cranberry pie...oh so good!



Here's the recipe for anyone who's interested:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the cranberries and the walnuts, and toss to coat. Stir in the butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract. If you are using frozen cranberries, the mixture will be very thick. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.

When we went on a walk Wyatt wanted to hold the dog leash so the whole walk he held on to Macie. She is such a calm dog and doesn't pull at all, so Wyatt just pulled her down the street! He had so much fun walking her he wouldn't let go of her leash when we got back in the yard and was getting frustrated when she wouldn't follow him around the front yard!

Come on dog

Then came Tuesday, back to school! My classes are requiring A LOT of reading, so now I'm spending all my time after Wyatt goes to bed reading. No more wild parties in the living room after 8:30pm! This week coming up is a busy week for us! Justin will be working, I'll be at school (which means Wyatt has to go to Papa's house) and then Thursday is my birthday, and Sunday is Wyatt's birthday!! Go slow week!!! Oh where does the time go, guess it's time for the next one =)
