Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

Good Morning!

I ran across this delicious recipe on Kelli's blog. She has some wonderful ideas for crafting, baking, and decorating! I really enjoy visiting her blog. If you like pumpkin and chocolate, then you need to try this one! It's great in the morning with a cup of coffee...and a piece for an afternoon snack...and a piece...I'm just kidding. It is a very addicting pan. :) I used Splenda products for some of the recipe. You cannot tell any difference in taste!

This afternoon, we have a homeschool music tea with our group. I'll be taking the pumpkin bars to share with the other families. Hopefully I'll have some to bring back home...

Thanksgiving has "snuck" on me this year...I need to get busy. I love the idea of your acrostic poem. We have a gratitude journal we pull out every year. I need to remember to get that out. I think we will do your poem idea this year.

Thank you for praying...so very humbling to me=)
