October 2012

I am dedicated to catching up my blog. I fell behind again, but don't want to be behind anymore. There are so many days that I want to blog an idea or thought, but I stop myself because I just am not caught up. I love this blog, so I am going to post several months all at once and try to get back to the present, so I can keep going.

So October went by in a blur of soccer, birthdays, visits and family time.

Matthew playing "House" soccer
Shanna & Whisper, watching Matthew
Matthew and the Varsity Soccer team, having their regular pregame "pasta night" at our house.

Mary Alice and one of her riding lesson horses, Crazy Jack
An amazing cake made by Mary Alice for her friend. The horse is sculpted by hand out of Marshmallow Fondant, which she made herself. Inspired by Pinterest.
The pastry chef with her cake. Look at the fence! You can click on the photo to see it bigger.

Found this on the fridge after Cindy went back home. Matthew.....
Taking our pets to church for the Blessing of the Animals Service
Creating new fashions
I made Doggy PJs for Shanna's Halloween costume, at her request
And somehow, I got talked into making a Renaissance Dress for Mary Alice for hers. If you are wondering how I did this, please see my biz post 10 Minutes at a Time.
It wasn't anywhere as easy as the PJs (ok WAAYYY more challenging) but somehow, sew a little, rip a little, sew a little, rip  a little, sew, sew, sew a little, RIP A LOT, later we had an awesome, finished dress.
Yes, these are actually eyelets down the back!
Some cutie cupcakes Mary Alice whipped up for her lunch table....
And a spaghetti costume for her horse. She is a chef.
And some general light hearted merriment just because it's fun.
Mary Alice's 14th Birthday. She always celebrates at Friendly's each year.
Two peas in a pod, plugged into the football game
Enjoying coffee ice cream
