  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350
  2. Mix the butter, sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, and egg together in a bowl.
  3. Add in the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  4. Mix in the chocolate chips.
  5. Spray pan, roll dough into small patties and place on the pan. (The cookies will not rise or spread out very much on the pan once in the oven, so you can put them fairly close together)

Holes

One for the house, one for the well.

My dad went up and drove the backhoe a little bit, with Brandon on the phone telling him how to. He was pretty excited about it, ha. 

I guess they are at 220 feet for the well. They hit water, but then they hit clay, which apparently trapped the water above it in, so they actually need to keep going. Hopefully they’ll get what they want at around 250!
