One of my favorite movies is Bridesmaids. If you are ever felling down, I suggest that you watch this movie. It is hilarious. It is about a woman Annie who is a single woman whose own life is a mess, but when she learns that her lifelong best friend, Lillian , is engaged, she has no choice but to serve as the maid of honor. Though lovelorn and almost penniless, Annie, nevertheless, winds her way through the strange and expensive rituals associated with her job as the bride's go-to gal. Determined to make things perfect, she gamely leads Lillian and the other bridesmaids down the wild road to the wedding. My favorite person is Megan. She is so real with Annie throughout the whole movie. My favorite part is when Megan takes home 6 gift bags from Lillian's bridesmaids party.
Let me know what you think about this movie. What you liked and what you disliked. Also let me know if you have a favorite movie(s) that you would like to share with me. Tell me what it is about. What your favorite part is, etc. Thanks, Emily.

Nevember is Here
Can you believe that it is already November? It is one of my favorite months of the year because it is the perfect weather for a light jacket or sweater, scarves, boots, and more cute outfits that are too warm for summer or not warm enough for winter. It is the time where almost all of the leaves are off the trees and are covering the ground making it a colorful rainbow. November is also the month that Thanks Giving falls into. I love thanks giving mostly because of the amazing food that my family makes. (In another blog I will write about Thanks Giving too.) It is also the time when you can have a pumpkin flavored food or drink choice and no one can say anything about it to you.
Every year my family and I take a day to rake up leaves and take photos in the leaves. Usually my dad, mom, and I rake up the leaves into one huge pill for all of us kids to jump into. We play around in the leaves with our dog Clover also. When we through the leaves in the air Cover will usually try to and jump up and catch them.
Let me know what you like or dislike about November or what you favorite month is and why you think so. Also tell me about your experiences in the leaves with your family or friends. Thanks, Emily.
Halloween Movies
From when I was old enough to trick-or-treat to when I was 12, I went out and got candy. The next couple years I have gone to Halloween parties that my friends would host. This past year I stayed home by my self.
When ever I would go to my friends houses we would watch a scary movie, eat lots of candy and food ( we would all bring food and candy to contribute), watch a non-scary movie after so that when we would go to sleep we wouldn't be scared, and then we would all sleep over.
The first year that we did this we watched The Call. The Call starts off with a girl calling a nine-one-one operator saying someone is in the house. The lady (main character) tells her to go under her bed and hide, but to also stay on the line. The man in the house thinks that the girl is gone until the phone call went dead for a second and the operator called the girl back and the girl answered letting the guy know that she was still in the house. He yanks her out from under the bed and tells the operator that its already don't. A few months later the girls body is found. On the news cast the girls head is blurred out. Again the same nine-one-one operator is called and it is of another girl. She had her friends track phone on her (theses are not track able). The girl is in the guys trunk (same guy that killed the other girl). Gets her to his 'workshop' (it is under ground at his old family home area). The operator is still on the line this whole time. She eventually finds the place he is keeping the girl. The reason that the guy is taking the girls is to scalp them for their hair because it looks like his dead sisters hair. The operator helps free the girl and lock the guy up in his workshop leaving him pleading to be let go and her saying that is already been done. We also started Children of the Corn.
The next year we watched House at the End of the Street. In search of a fresh start, divorcee Sarah and her daughter, Elissa , find their dream house in a small town. But when startling, unexplainable events begin, the pair learn that a chilling secret holds the town in its grip. Years earlier a girl killed her parents and disappeared, leaving a brother, Ryan , as the sole survivor. Elissa begins a relationship with Ryan, and the closer they get, the deeper they're all pulled into a dangerous mystery.
The next year we watched Gone. Jill Parrish is trying to rebuild her life after surviving a terrifying kidnapping attempt. Though she is having a difficult time, she takes small steps toward normalcy by starting a new job and inviting her sister, Molly , to move in with her. Returning home from work one morning, Jill discovers that Molly has vanished, and she is certain that the same man who previously abducted her has returned for revenge. She tries to find him and ends up finding the place where see was held by the man and also she finds out that she wasn't the only one to be taken by him, but was the only one to survive.
Two years ago my friends and I watched a movie called Your Next. It is really creepy. It is about

Two years ago my friends and I watched a movie called Your Next. It is really creepy. It is about
the Davison's, an upper-class family, who are extremely wealthy -- but also estranged. In an attempt to mend their broken family ties, Aubrey and Paul Davison decide to celebrate their wedding anniversary by inviting their four children and their children's significant others to their weekend estate. The celebration gets off to a rocky start, but when crossbow-wielding assailants in animal masks suddenly attack, the Davison's must pull together or die.
This past year my friends and I have watched the new Nightmare on Elms Street. It is about
In Wes Craven's classic slasher film, several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger, a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams -- which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery. You need to watch the movie to find out what happens next. This movie is the newest version. There are old versions of Nightmare on Elms Street one, two, and three also, which are equally as good.
Let me know if you have seen any of these movies and what you thought of them. Also if you would like to recommend one for me to watch that would be great also. Thanks, Emily.

Update on Dancing with the Stars
One of my new favorite weekly shows is Dancing with the Stars. I don't know why I like it, I just do. Right form the beginning, I, along with my sister Anna, am routing for Bindy to win. I think she is an amazing dancer and has a great, but sad story behind her. She isn't on the show because of something stupid. I also think that since Bindy is paired with Derek ( the best dancer and the hottest one on the show) she is going to win no matter what. Bindy and Derek were the first couple to receive a ten from one of the judges. It was the week that Bindy and Derek did a slow song that brought back memories form when Bindy was little. I having watched week eight yet, but I will soon. I also like Hayes and Alec. They are both cute too. My favorite dance was the one Bindy cried during the rehearsal of.
My favorite swap couple was Alec's pair. He also had his best dance that night too. I think that the way Bindy dances reflects how she was brought up ( her dad was The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Urwin, who died by being stung by a sting ray) by only her mom for most of her life.
I think that one of the weirdest dances was the Ninja Turtles dance by Hayes and his partner.
Let me know who you think will win. What you thought was the weirdest dance of the season. Also let me know what your favorite dance is from all of the couples and who your favorite swap was. Thanks, Emily.

SORRY DIY
Currently my family and I are building a new house. My mom is looking at all of our old furniture deciding what to keep and what to get ride of. The what it get ride of pile is sorted into piles of what to throw away, what to give away, and garage sale. The what to keep pile is also sorted into two more piles called what to keep the same and what to change. From our old living room we have two side tables, a bookshelf table thing, and a table that would sit in front of our sofas. My mom and I were trying to figure out what to do with them, then my mom had this great idea of turning the one that would sit in front of the sofas into a SORRY table. I thought that this was a great idea, so my mom striped the tables of the furnished color and went to the paint store to get a lighter color. Once the base was finished. My mom had my dad take the top off the base and bring it in the covered porch. Once it was in the porch. My mom took a pencil and ruler and drew where the board would be painted on the table. My mom then went to the store to but the paint colors she needed. She painted the background a medium grey-blue. She then drew the lines for the squares around the board and traced them with a black paint pen. She is currently painting and tracing the 'homes' for the SORRY pieces. For the pieces we are going to use the ones from the game because they are the right size. I can't wait till the table is done. We are going to put the table set in the loft.
Let me know what you think of this DIY. Will you try it? What DIY's have you done? Thanks, Emily.

Haunted Houses and Decor
Usually for Halloween decorations my family and I do both the inside and the outside of our house. My dad brings up the Halloween bins from the basement, there are about three or four bins, and there are a few bigger things that my dad also brings up. I am usually the one who starts putting the art work we made when we were kids, up around the fireplace on each side. Then my brother and sisters come and start helping with other things. My mom and I start setting up the mini Halloween town. There is a caraselle, bridge, a few trees, a haunted house, and a few other things. We have pumpkin candles we put around the house. On top of the mantle above our fireplace we put these three pedestals. They look like wine glasses with witch hats on top. The bottom of the glass looked like which feet with witch stockings up to the top where you put a candle in the cup part. The glasses are also different highs. There are a few other small things that we put up inside, but then we move outside. Outside we have our pumpkins that we carve on the front steps. In the garden part by our house we have a little grave yard. In the grave yard we have a couple tomb stones, a couple lanterns that light up, skeleton bones, and a few extra skeleton heads. Right beside the front door we have a few corn stocks on either side. In the corn stalks we have a little monster machine. It is motion activated, so when someone walks past it starts to vibrate and make weird noises. One year it freaked a little girl out so much that she would not come up to the front door to get candy. Every year we get a couple extra pumpkins to scatter around the yard too. In the front of our yard we have ghosts and cute, sparkly bat candle holders. Along the front window of my house we put up fake spider webs and then throw fake black spiders in it and every year one of my family members tries to scare my by putting a fake spider on me also.
The best looking house in the neighborhood is the house on the corner. In every window there is a covering that looks like a ghost is trying to get out or some thing else that is scary. Their front bushes are covered in orange lights. They have corn stalks on one side of their house. A blow up witch and ghost in their front yard, huge pumpkins all over the place, and red lights that shine towards their house to make it look creepy. The house is always the best on the street.
Haunted houses creep me out. I have never been to one in real life, but I have seen them in moves and I don't ever want to go in one. I have heard people talk about the houses that people can touch you in them or once you are in your in, you don't have a safe word to be let out with, there is also one the you pay $100 to get into, but with each floor you go up you get $10 back (there are ten floors). I personally would not last a minute in any of these houses. I think the outside looks cool, but them I am done.
Let me know what you think of Halloween décor, haunted houses, or what the best house on your street looks like. Thanks, Emily.

First World Problems
The Urban Dictionary defines first world problems as problems from living in a wealthy, industrialized nation that third worlders would probably roll their eyes at. I think that this is true. Many of our problems are so small compared to other countries problems. Here are a few problems that are said over and over again.
When you tap an app and it accidentally takes you to the app store. I have done with multiple times and it is one of the most annoying things to do. It is most annoying when it pops up right as you clicked something and takes for ever to load. First World Problem.
When you don't feel satisfied, but you don't want to be too full when you eat. I have this problem all of the time. I love the food I am eating and over eat or I don't like the food I am eating and don't feel satisfied. Another horrible thing is when you are hungry, but you can't find any thing to eat. Frist World Problem.
One pillow is too low and two pillows are too high. This is the worst moment ever. You are trying to get comfortable in bed to fall asleep, but either the pillow is too small or too big. There is no in between. Another thing is when the pillow(s) is too squishy or too hard. First World Problem.
The first five Sweet Tarts in the row were purple. I hate when this happens. This can happen to multiple food items like fruit snacks also. When you really want the blue fruit snack, but there are only green, yellow, and red colors in the bag. First World Problem.
Neither of the two dresses I ordered will be there in time for my birthday dinner tomorrow night. This had happened to me for homecoming. I ordered a dress two weeks before and it didn't arrive in time so I had to use a different dress at the last minute. First World Problem.
Netflix is down. I hate it when Netflix is not working or is going really slow. When I have extra time during the day/night I watch Netflix. There are so many good things to watch. Also if you are watching Netflix and you only have five percent left of your battery and you don't want to get up to get your phone/electronic charger cord because you are in a comfy position. First World Problem.
I won an Apple watch, but I own an Android phone. I personally do not have this problem, but I can feel for those who have to deal with this. First World Problem.
The Wi-Fi on my international plane is slow. I have only been on a plane once, but I might be going on a plane soon and if the Wi-Fi is like this at all I will be mad cause it is like a fourteen hour long flight. First World Problem.
I wish our school had escalators instead of stairs. I say this all of the time. In school my back pack is so heavy that by the time I make it to the top of the stairs I am panting. I always feel like I am going to fall down the stairs. I think that escalators would be so much better. First World Problem.
I need to use the bathroom, but I just painted my nails. I have this happen to me all of the time because I don't plan correctly on going to the bathroom before I paint my nails. I end up going to the bathroom and messing up my nails, which makes me have to redo them. First World Problem.
All of these problems are nothing compared to what other countries are living with. I think that we are only relating to our country because we haven't witnessed first hand of what is going on in their part of the world.
There are also videos on YouTube and Twitters that you can watch/read that are funny, yet serious if you are interested in hearing more First World Problems.
Let me know if you say any of these or have any of your own that you would like to share. Thanks, Emily.

Pumpkin Picking and Carvings
Honestly I don't know how or why people thought about/started picking pumpkins to put on their door step during Halloween. I don't know if it scares away the bad ghosts or what, but in the 21st century the smiley-face pumpkins can't scare a baby. Every year my family goes to the pumpkin patch with your family friends. The mom's father owns the pumpkin patch so we get all of our pumpkins for free. It is about an hour drive away from my house, but is worth it every year. Since we have six people in our family, buying pumpkins gets very costly. When we get to the pumpkin patch we get our jackets on. Each year varies on how cold it is or not. Last year was not that cold. My mom would tell everyone to find their favorite pumpkin and carry it to the car. My parents rule is that if you can't carry the pumpkin to the car you can't bring it home. We are all only suppose to get one each but we all sneak a few extra in the car. My favorites are the white pumpkins, the gourds, or the mini pumpkins. They are so cute. My mom will then take many photos of us in the pumpkin patch. We are finally able to go home. When we get home we unload the pumpkins in the garage. Since this is a couple weeks before Halloween we don't carve them yet, otherwise they will rot before Halloween even arrives. This year we were not able to go because of our living situations (we are living in a rental home in Shellsburg while we build our home in Cedar Rapids). We are going to buy pumpkins this year instead.
Carving the pumpkins comes next. My mom only allows each of my siblings and I to carve a pumpkin so we all rush to the garage to get the biggest ones. Once we all make it back inside, we clean all of the dirt off with a wet paper towel. My dad had laied some towels out so that if we drip any of the insides it is easy to clean up. We had two bowls each. One for the pumpkin seeds that my mom would clean and bake, and one for all of the gross stuff. My dad would take our pumpkins one by one and cut a hole in the top. Personaly, I think that the worst part of carving a pumpkin is the first scoop of all of the gross stuff in the middle of a pumpkin. (I don't know what the stuff in the middle of a pumpkin is called so I am going to call it gross stuff for the time being) Once every one is done with the inside of their pumpkins, we get to start carving. Over the years I have done different designs. Last year I did one pumpkin eating another pumpkin. While we are carving our pumpkins. My mom is cleaning the pumpkin seeds, covering them in different topings like cinamine and sugar, and salt, and finally bakes them. Last year I hated eating the seeds because they always got stuck in my braces. This year since I got my braces off I can finally enjoy them. Once everyone is done carving their pumpkins, my mom makes us put then outside on the stoop. If it is not dark outside we wait till it is. When it is finally dark outside my dad puts candles in each of our pumpkins and lights them. Then my mom makes up each sit by our pumpkin and get photos. We also get a group photo with our pumpkins. This is usually the night before Halloween. We are finally all set to go for Halloween. If you are looking for carving ideas they sell them at stores and you can print some off online. If you have any cool ideas for pumpkin carving this year let me know. Thanks, Emily.

Halloween Costumes
This week for the fall topic i am going to talk about Halloween consumes. Every Halloween my mom would make all of my siblings and I wear layers for when we would go trick-or-treating. I didn't like doing it though because you can't see the amazing costume. Beauty hurts right. My first Halloween I was a lady bug. My second Halloween I was a blue flower while my sister was a pink flower. The next couple Halloweens I twined with my sister Anna. We would both be a mermaid or Cinderella. Then I was finally a pirate all by myself. That was the year my brother Adam wanted to be a dragon, but then the day of Halloween he decided that he didn't want to be a dragon any more. My parents told him that he had to be the dragon and dressed him in it. When they put the hood on his face he started crying. I will never forget that Halloween. The next year I was half devil, half angle along with my sister Anna again. I can't remember and of my sister Ella's costumes at all for some reason. One year I dressed up as Nicki Minaj. I put a ton of dark foundation on my face to make me look tanner, put on HEAVY makeup, and out on bright cloths. That year was the first year that my family split up to go trick-or-treating. These past two years I haven't dresses up for Halloween. Instead I have gone over to one of my friends houses and watched scary movies. Which by the way I hate scary movies. I have wanted for the past year to stay home with my mom, to dress up in creepy outfits and scare the trick-or-treaters and give out candy. after I scare them. I was thinking that this year I would try and stay with my mom and do this, but my friends might be more tempting. Let me know what you are going to be for Halloween. Add photos please. I would have added photos, but my computer was acting up and wouldn't allow me to. Well any way, thanks, Emily.
New Apples
Recently Apple has come out with IOS9 and the new IPhone 6. I have an IPhone 5s at the moment and have downloaded the new IOS9. IOS9 comes with many new features. They include news app, notes app, maps app, wallet app, ICloud drive app, multitasking, quicker typing, Siri, search area, music, emails, smaller updates, longer battery life, fast and more responsive, and better security.
The news app is located on your home screen. The news app contains the most recent news stories from multiple different sources. The stories are based on what you like to read about so the more you use the app the more the stories or articles are topics that you like.
The notes app is located on your home screen. The new notes lets you write down quick thoughts, draw pictures to go with your thoughts, add photos, maps, or web links, and it will connect to all your devices through ICloud. The notes app has also been added to your share list. You can now add things to your notes where ever you are. There is an attachment browser sorts all of your notes in order for you so it is easier to find what you are looking for. You can now turn lists into checklists, sketch a picture on the notes app, and take a photo right on the app.
The maps app is located on your home screen. When you open your maps app you will see eight different options, they are food, drinks, shopping, travel, services, fun, health, and transport. With these new features you can find what ever you are looking for fast and easy. In the food area it will show up with popular places to eat, restaurants that are near you, grocery stores that are near you, fast foods places that are near you, cafés that are near you, bakery's that are near you, and dessert places that are near you. The places with show up from nearest to you to furthest from you. Maps also show transit views. This means it will show you routes and directions instead of a map with a blue line draw on it.
The wallet app is located on your home screen. You can access the wallet app with your home button when your phone is locked too. You can store discover credit cards on there right now and soon will be able to store rewards cards and other credit cards on there as well.
The new ICloud drive app is located home screen. All over your saved documents are right on this app and can all be located form it. You can sort you files by date, name, or tag.
On your IPad you can now multitask. This is great for when you are doing two things at once. You can 'slide over' to use the app you where just using before, use a split screen, or use Face time or watch a movie while checking your email.
You now have quicker typing with the new IOS9. There is a shortcut bar that helps you type so much faster.
Siri is now much faster and is connected to more. You can open photos to a certain time with Siri and you can have Siri give you reminders on certain things at certain point in time and places. The search screen is also more updated with what is going on in the world today like scores and weather.
In the new search area you can now see the most recent people that you have spoken with, the most recent apps you have used, nearby places, and the news.
When you plug your headphones in your music or movie will automatically start from where it left off at.
Your batter will also have a longer life span of a hour, which in teenage time is a long time.
When you get updates, they will be shorter and faster.
Your phone will be faster and more responsive when you use it.
Your security will improve making it harder for people trying to get into your phone. You can now have a six-digit number passcode, which is tougher to tack, and you have to answer a security question to get on to things on your phone too.
I think that the new IOS9 will help benefit everyone. I haven't heard one complaint about it so far.
The end of my freshmen year my parents finally got me an IPhone 5s. I had had a slide phone until then. I love my IPhone, but I can't wait till my plan expires in the coming months because I would like to get the new IPhone 6 or if the new IPhone 7 is going to come out soon I will wait for that to come out and get it. I love how big the screen is for the phone. The only problem with it is that girl pockets aren't big enough to hold the phone. Any way let me know what you think about the new IOS9 or the IPhone 6. Thanks, Emily.

Friends
Okay, I would like to start off by saying that is my favorite TV show in the whole world. The theme some is also my favorite song too. The TV show Friends is about a group of friends who go through different situations together. There are a total of ten seasons. There are six friends in the group. There is Ross, Rachel, Joey, Feebee, Chandler, and Monica.
Ross is Monica's older brother and the favorite of the family. He is a huge nerd that can 'play' the piano. Ross has loved Rachel since they were in high school. He just hasn't gotten the nerve to tell her until a couple seasons in and also let me tell you if you are ever on a break with your boyfriend/girlfriend that does NOT mean that you can get together with another girl/boy. Ross learned his lessen the hard way... Also in the beginning of the show Ross is just getting a divorce from a lesbian that had his child named Ben. And if it is not weird enough his lesbian wife starts dating another woman.
Rachel is a daddy's girl and had to have Monica break her from her shopping habits. She loves Ross and is Monica's best friend. She is kind of dumb in the show, but it makes her really funny.
Joey is my favorite character. In one of my favorite episodes, a salesman rang Joey's doorbell. He went to the door to open it and the salesman asked him if he was ever lost talking to him friends, and was just nodding along to what ever his friends said. Joey said yes and the salesman said that Joey should get an encyclopedia. He let Joey look through one and Joey found out that there was a lot of information in them. Joey wanted to buy them, then the salesman said that they were $50 each. Joey could not find any money in his pockets and then went to Chandler's pockets to find money. In the end Joey could only find $50. The salesman asked Joey what one he wanted and Joey said the letter V(this was the book that the salesman had to show people). So later that day Joey started asking his friends if they wanted to talk about volcanos or the Vietnam War. Then all of the sudden his friends start talking about the Korean War and Joey started just nodding along again. Joey is also Chandler's roommate.
Feebee is a weird person. She has her brothers kids... and her mom killed herself or so you think... is a personal massager, and has a psychic. She is a vegetarian and is always saying things about it. When Feebee was younger she used to live on the street and one time she was telling a story and it had to do with Ross.
Chandler is a hilarious person. His is the jokester of the group and let me tell you, you will never know what Chandler does for a living. Chandler and Joey are best friends and help each other out through rough times. Chandler has also been Rosses best friend since college when they were roommates together. Chandler used to come home with Ross over the breaks and one year he left with only nine toes. Chandler's parents are divorced and his dad is a drag-queen.
Monica is a neat-freak. She needs to have everything perfect. She is Rachel's best friend since high school and was very fat in high school too. Monica then lost the weight when one o her friends told her that she was very fat. Monica is a chef for many restaurants throughout the seasons.
After I had my jaw surgery I was binge watching Friends on Netflix. This was the worst idea in the world. It would hurt to smile, so every time that I would laugh at the show I would start crying because of the pain I was in. I should have stopped watching it, but it was too good to stop watching.
If you have seen this show tell me what you thought of it and your favorite part. If you haven't seen this show I would recommend that you watch it. Thanks, Emily.

New Hair
The new thing this year is short hair. I personally think that only certain people like Emma Watson, can rock the short hair style. I am one of those who can't do short hair. When I was little I always wanted to have short hair. My mom tried to talk me out of it every time, but it never worked. I sometimes look back at old photos and videos and think why did I do that to myself. I was just horrible. I like my long hair. I can do so many styles with long hair. I like being able to put all of my hair into a pony-tail without having some hair left out. I like doing French braids, fish tails, Dutch braids, etc. My final opinion of short hair is that I don't like it. Girls should keep their long gorgeous hair. You can do so much more with long hair. If you do have short hair and you like it good, I am not saying that it looks bad, I just think long hair is so much better.
I think that both long and short hair have their pros and cons. Pros for long hair is that you can do so many hair styles. You can make you hair look short also. A few cons are you have to maintain. You can leave it natural but it might not look the best. You have to do something with it. A Pro with short hair is that it frames your face nicely (sometimes), and sometimes it makes you have a longer prettier neck too. Another pro for short hair is that you can wake up and just go. You don't have to do anything at all. A few cons are that if you ever put your hair up you will have to use many booby pins if your hair isn't long enough. I would hate having to keep putting bobby pins in my hair. Another con is that if you cut your hair short and do not like it you have to wait for your hair to grow long again and personally, my hair takes forever to grow. I has taken a couple years for me to get my hair almost to my lower back and this is with me only getting a few trims throughout the year. Another con would be that you can't really do any hair styles with short hair. You can really only have it curly or straight with maybe a small braid that you can add in there if your hair is long enough.
If you have any thing to add, like if you agree with me or not, let me know and comment. Thanks, Emily.

Yummy Pumpkin Flavors
Recently, I went to Hy-Vee and to but groceries for my family. While I was there a passed a stand that held Oreos and noticed the new flavors pumpkin spice and coconut. Of course I had to splurge and buy the pumpkin spice flavored Oreos. I hadn't tried them yet so when I got to school the next day I opened them up and tried one. They were one of the best things that I had ever had. I would recommend these to anyone and everyone. I think that these were the right way to start fall off.
One of my friends also told me about pumpkin spice Hershey kisses. So yesterday when I went to the store I had to buy some. I have not tried it yet but I will be soon. Also while I was at Hy-Vee I saw that they had a whole section for new pumpkin/fall flavors. They consisted of pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cakes, pumpkin breads, etc. I tried to convince my mom to let me get the donuts, but she told me not today. I will try and convince her next time.
There is also the many pumpkin drinks at Starbucks that are all amazing!
My favorite pumpkin treat in the fall is the original pumpkin pie. It is always so good. Well if anyone has a favorite holiday pumpkin treat that they want to share with me comment. Thanks, Emily.
