Nuffin Scary - Halloween 2009

We have a boxer, a purple pixie fairie and lil red riding hood.

It took 2 days and 4 stores to find something for all 3 but we did!!!

Eye Spy a Sick Eye..

Ms. Ava has been battling with what we called a Stye for over a month. We've used warm compresses and nothing seems to work. Finally we got an appointment with an eye specialist and they are making strides to have it BE GONE for good! We are now using a cream thats both a steriod and antibiotic. Praying it works.

If not we may have to have it surgically removed. UGH I panic at that thought.

Even though she could barely see she managed to entertain the nurse and doctor with her charm.

New Scarves

Knitting!! YAY! This is one of my fav color combos

blue, white, brown

Quick Fix Dinner

Homemade Pizzas are a breeze and the kids can almost make them without my help!

We always do cheese, pepperoni and for Grandma we added onions, black olives and green peppers!

Cupcake Weekends

Whenever we get a chance we bake cupcakes on the weekends and cookies during the week.

WE MUST have sweets around!

Here's a batch we did to experiment with different icing colors. They all turned out PASTEL-y.

They were chocolate in the inside.
