Unplugged

Posting from my phone ... because our computer "died" several weeks ago . You wouldthink with three iPads and even more iPhones atThe Rice Ranch we would be functioning just slightlyless normally than usual, but alas such is not the case.

For example, blogging from my phone works ... but uploading pics is iffy. I'm going to post some Halloween photos here in a minute, butif they end up blurry or small - you'll know why.

And there are other downfalls to being unplugged ...

Apparently we can hardly : cook without Pinterest, drive without Mapquest, shop without Amazon, or do business without Craigslist. Oradd (no calculator). Or spell (no spellcheck.)

These are the things we have discovered since our computer went down.

And also ... we are a music family . Meaning we generally have music going every waking second of the day and sometimes at night whenwe forget to turn the computer off . We don't own a radio or a stereo, because it's against our religion .

I KID.

We had a stereo that broke a few years ago and we never replaced it when we figured out we could just listen to Pandora on the computerall day.

Ditto with the radio.

I used to be a radio talk show addict until an election went south on me seven years ago (sorry to all my liberal readers, just my personalopinion there. If you love Lily and large families, then keep reading and I promise not to insert my political feelings too much here again.Carry on.)

Anyhoo, I just started tuning into politics again last summer, but I'm still doing so without a radio. Gasp. Or tv. Double gasp. I get all myinformation from this archaic thing called "reading" and also from an ongoing group text with several equally narrow minded friends . (Didyou know narrow minded is not such a bad thing ? Open your mind too much and your brain just might fall out. Just sayin'.) So I've nowbeen forced to do all my reading from my iPhone, and I've discovered that my eyesight sure ain't what it used to be.

(Side note : I just sent a care package to my friend Cassie, who is in the hospital with her baby Liam. I included what I thought were somecute samples of shampoo and conditioners with penciled drawings of flowers and branches on the bottles. Cassie sent me a magnifiedpicture of the samples I sent - apparently they were drawings of naked hairy men smoking cigars. Who'd a thunk it ?? Sorry, Robert andCassie- I promise to go get some reading glasses STAT before I send any more care packages.)

And finally - all of my kids do their math curriculum on disks that have to be used with the computer . Which is the main bummer ofbecoming unexpectedly unplugged . For some kids this might seem like a blessing in a disguise, but for the little Ricelets who workfuriously during the school year so that they can have a long uninterrupted summer ... this is a tragedy.

Anyhootwe have been living in the early 20th century for a few weeks without our computer, and thus the absence from my little bloggyhere . If you have emailed me or left comments on blogposts, I have been TRYING to respond to each one, but my thumbs are getting a

little crampy typing on my phone . And also I've had a yucky cold for the past few weeks, making voice texting into my phone a nightmare. I've (inadvertently) cussed in several texts to my husband (lesson learned : never hit "send" while voice texting with a cold until youproofread first) and I figured I better not risk offending you all in a similar manner by voice texting a blog post. Sooooo consequently, Iam thumbing my way slowly through a typed blogpost on my phone.

All of that to say - if you have emailed or commented and I didn't respond, I promise to do so as my thumbs allow, and as soon as Sammanages to convince the Mac store that they actually BROKE our computer. (not kidding, there was nothing wrong with it other than afaulty disk drive when he brought it in, and suddenly they say "it's vintage and won't power up anymore and we need a new one." Uh huh.)

where was I ?

Oh yes, as soon as hell freezes over and the Mac store admits they owe us a replacement computer, I will be back online, typing blogpostsby the traditional (and less crampy) hunt-and-peck method that has carried me faithfully through six plus years of blogging .

In the mean time - if you have left a comment on previous posts requesting to follow my new and improved and privatized IG account, andyou didn't leave your user name in your comment ... please leave another comment with your user name, so I can make sure you aren'tblocked. Long story, but I reduced my previous IG account by deleting and blocking over 9,000 followers and I promise it was nothingpersonal. I just really wanted to go private and that was the best way to do so, to preserve all my pictures and videos posted there overthe years ... If you were a faithful follower who didn't leave mean comments, then leave a comment here with your user name and I'llaccept on IG. (really, does anyone know why people would read or follow someone they hate so much ?? I can't think of a more boring wayto live, but there you have it. Haters gonna hate and if they want to live like that, it's certainly their warped prerogative to do so ! And Isay that in the most loving and non-judgmental way possible . Really, I do.)

Okay, so here are the aforementioned pics from this weekend, and maybe someone can leave a comment telling me if they uploadedcorrectly . If there are wrinkles or age spots in the picture of me, I promise it is purely a technological error and not real life.

Here we go ...

My Skinny Little Pumpkin Patch Post

You know that moment when you're talking to a friend, and suddenly they start telling you - in detail - the exact story they've told youbefore ? And you start to interrupt the story to remind them, but then you stop yourself, just in case it's a different story with the samebeginning ... and also you don't want to embarrass them ?

I think I've experienced that a hundred times - only it's me telling the story. And then halfway through telling my story, I see the person I'm

talking to half-smiling like I have food stuck in my teeth. So I self-consciously run my tongue over the front of my mouth, to make surethere's not a big piece of spinach there, when suddenly the lights come on and I realize - it's not the spinach, it's my story. I've told itbefore, and now I look like my old neighbor, Mrs. Krebbs, who would tell the same story to me and my brother and sister probably two orthree times in the same week and never even realize she did it. (She also had a large piece of corn stuck between her two front teeth atour dinner table one night, while she was re-telling a story - I remember my siblings and I trying so hard not to look at each other duringdinner, lest we spit out our chicken in a fit of spontaneous laughter. But that's a different story for a different blogpost. Unless I've toldyou that one already ??)

ANYHOOO.......

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure every October on my blog there's a post entitled "My Big Fat Pumpkin Patch Post". And although thepictures might be different, and the children in the pictures are a little bit younger, the story is probably very similar in each post ...

"It was the perfect weather for the pumpkin patch"... "My kids made crude jokes about odd-shaped pumpkins resembling different bodyparts" .... "Sam wheeled and dealed with the owner of the pumpkin patch, convincing her that because we have so many kids, we shouldbe getting the group discount normally reserved for school field trips" ... and finally - "Lily plus boots plus pumpkins equals the cutest

pictures on the planet."

Or something like that.

So instead of retelling the same story today, I'm just going to post my pictures with a few corny captions, and you won't have to read alongpretending it's the first time you've ever heard me talk about how much I love pumpkin patches. And thankfully, you won't be able to tell ifI have food stuck in between my teeth while I do it. (Because I'm not joining the Vlogging craze any time soon, for that precise reason ...among a host of others.)

And also - in case you didn't notice - I changed the title of my blogpost, just so you know it really IS a different post than the previous fiveyears.

Here we go ....

Kenzie took this picture, and Tyler was at the post office getting his passport. He's going to Israel next month with a tour group from ourchurch, and we won't discuss my anxieties about that or we will ruin my Skinny Little Pumpkin Patch Post. Jason and Josiah and theirbeautiful families made their own trips to the pumpkin patch, and we won't talk about how kids have to go and ruin my family pictures bygrowing up and making their own fun memories .... for the same reason we won't talk about Tyler's impending trip to the land of suicidebombers and headline-worthy events like that.

No, we are not going to talk about that here on my happy little Pumpkin Patch Post, okay ??? Don't even try to make me do it. This post islike Disneyland - leave all your troubles at the gates, just come on in and have fun and smile and eat an overpriced candied apple or two.

Whew.

Moving on ....

Here are just a few of my favorite pictures from last week. Most of these were on Instagram - if you missed the post a few pages back, Iexplain there why I went private on IG and reduced my audience to a fraction of what it was. I was overwhelmed by the kind responsethere and requests to follow... if you would like to follow there again, read THIS POST, because I'm not retelling that same story twiceeither. But THANK YOU to all those who left the kindest comments on that post ... you all bless our socks off !

If you've been reading here for any length of time, you know my addiction to Jude & Ficlips on Etsy.

These clips are not only darling and unique, but they actually stay in Lily's fine hair better than any other clips we have used. That'sbecause they are made with wig clips that grab onto the hair without causing any damage, and secure the clip tightly. They come in a hugevariety of colors and styles, and if I could, I would purchase every single one of them.

The creator of Jude & Fi clips is a sweet mama named Shannon - I met her via blogging when our girls were just babies, and her Fionashares Lily's extra chromosome. I love supporting moms who work from home, and I love that every clip I purchase helps Shannon'sbusiness venture ... check out Jude & Fi today for these adorable hair clips.

Abigail made these amazing Princess Vanilla Cupcakes with Decadent Chocolate Frosting last week and they were TO DIE FOR. Literally, Ithink three of my kids killed each other fighting over the last one.

CUPCAKE RECIPE :

FROSTING RECIPE :

*Note : Before passing them out to your family, make sure they are evenly distributed, without any leftovers. We cannot be heldresponsible for any deaths that result from sibling cupcake wars. You've been warned.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a standard muffin tin with 12 paper

cupcake liners. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.

Heat the butter and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter has melted. Beat

the sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until it has

thickened slightly and is l ighter in color. Gradually beat in th e flour mixture on low speed until

just incorporated. Slowly pour in the hot milk, beating until just combined.

Divide batter evenly between cupcake liners. Bake until toothpick inserted into center comes

out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cupcakes in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a

cooling rack to cool completely.

In a medium bowl, sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa, and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth, then gradually beat in sugar mixture alternately

with evaporated milk. Blend in vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. If necessary, adjust

consistency with more milk or sugar.

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 pinch salt

5 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

2/3 cup milk

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon v anilla extract

2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

6 tablespoons butter

5 tablespoons evaporated milk

1 teaspoon v anilla extract

it was a beautiful day

It's Monday night and fifteen minutes til my (self-imposed) bedtime.

I'm fading fast, and my brain cells for the day are all depleted ... I have just enough words left in my head to last through this post andthen bedtime prayers, before the only sound I will be able to utter is zzzzzzz.

So I'll keep it short.

Caleb and I took Hayden on a walk through the trails in our neighborhood today.

We saw every color of the rainbow ... it was spectacular.
