bday invite and recipe

well, i finally got hadley bean's invites done for her pumpkin party (the party is on monday, so it's about time!) it's really low-key and we are only inviting 3 of her little best friends over. we will be decorating those mini pumpkins and eating yummy pizza...very easy! hopefully it's still nice outside, so we can be in the backyard as well!
here is a pic of those delicious chocolate chip pumpkin cookies i made yesterday...i got lots of people asking if they could have the recipe so here it is:
2 sticks butter
2 cups sugar
15 oz. can pumpkin
4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
16 oz. chocolate chips
cream butter and sugar...add pumpkin...stir together flour, baking soda and cinnamon and add to other mixture. stir in chocolate chips. drop heaping spoonfuls onto baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350*.
my cookies have white chocolate chips in them as well...and i ended up baking them on my pizza stone for 13 minutes...they turn out really mushy and gooey...so, just watch them, and when the peaks on them start browning, then they are usually done! and i am warning you now, that you can't eat just one!! they are too good! thanks to allison for this yummy recipe...she brought it to mops last meeting!
i gotta run...the kids are trick or treating at my mom's work today, so i've got to get them ready to go...i will take lots of pictures!
and by the way...thanks for all of the kind words you all left on my blog! the comments make my day :) thank you!
