I'm about to go start these for breakfast tomorrow: [link] That should be both pumpkin goodness and sweet roll breakfast goodness!

We signed up to bring cookies for Noah's Thanksgiving party. The teacher bagged them all up individually and sent one each home with his class because they don't allow candy at school. [link] Um. Okay. But cookies are as sweet as candy! And all the kids who bring iced cupcakes for their birthday? ALSO as candy like as candy. Fuck if I'll bother to do cookies again. I'm pretty angry and weirdly hurt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God, Kat, that link is breaking my heart. Happy Thanksgiving!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Grace.

That is some kind of bullshit about the cookies though. Weird letter-of-the-law.

ita, it's a tearjerker!

If you want to come for any part of tomorrow, I'll happily come and get you (as it will get me out of the house which I will need).

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Kat, thank you. That's beautiful.

Also, consider last year, I sent witch cupcakes (for a party) with licorice hair, chocolate dipped ice cream cones and candy corn noses and no one batted an eye.

I don't like getting my kid in trouble inadvertently. So I told him I was done sending cookies and I wouldn't do it anymore for parties and I didn't want to send cupcakes either.

Fuck. For halloween? We sent cakeballs. Chocolate dipped. Please to explain how that shit is NOT candy.

Cake isn't candy! It's right there in the words! @@

Is chocolate even candy? I can't tell -- so many different letters!
