The Rest of October

This month us girls had another pottery painting Saturday. We each ended up making something for our moms.

I made this soap dispenser for my mom's birthday, exactly as she requested!  Finally got to give it to her yesterday and she loved it! :)

Work in progress.

All done!

A very girly Eiffel tower mug!


An owl mug for me to use at work.


Another owl.

Tea bag plate.

The weather has turned decidedly winterish so we've had to come up with fun things to do inside.  This is Leif and I trying to play 2 person rook.  Not as fun as with 3 or more people...

We had these two over for a weekend.  This was their turn on the xbox kinect sports game.  Can you guess what sport they're playing??

We're off to some place warm in less than 9 hours!! Looking forward to some fun in the sun with great friends!

October: The Month of Parties!

The first party was watching a lovely couple tie the knot.  So happy for them!

My family minus the sis.

The beautiful bride and her lovely dress.  The marriage commissioner that married us married them too!

Beaming couple.

Cupcake tower!

Some cute kids sitting near our table.


Us with the couple of the day.  Their poor faces hurt from all the smiling!

The next party was to celebrate our brother in law's birthday.  His wife had the awesome idea of hosting an ugly sweater party.

Us in our Christmas colours and me in red sparkles.  Gag.

Great looking family in terrible looking sweaters.

Same thing.

Birthday dude!  He had the best time listening to everyone describing why their sweater was the ugliest.

Photobomb!!!

Auntie reading stories.

Learning to play catch!

And the last party was miss niece-y turning 5!  Too bad most of my pictures didn't turn out well.

The hilarity of the kids waiting for cake.

Trying on her new rollerblading/biking gear.

Doing a handstand.
