What a week!

Yes...I am still alive. Although...after the long weekend I had I am amazed that I am even functioning. And to think..this week is half over! We had a family get together on Saturday to celebrate 4 birthdays and then another family get together to celebrate Christmas. Yes..you read correctly...Christmas. My grandparents go to Florida for the winter and so my Mother's family likes to have the family get together before they head south. Then at home it has just been trying to catch up with various things.
My MIL's bday was on Monday and I had the privilege of making her cake. I meant to wish her a happy Birthday here on the blog, but Monday has come and gone in the blink of an eye...along with Tuesday and Wednesday. ;) Anyway...when I put the cake in the oven I had to rush outside to do some speed raking as the "leaf truck" was coming down the road. Then I made it back inside just in time for the timer to go off letting me know the cakes were done, but I ended up having to do a second batch because one of the layers completely fell apart. Go figure...and Sweet E has been getting into food for the past 2 weeks. If she can reach it she apparently thinks that it's her's to eat. So...we are dealing with that situation right now. Anyway, I know I am rambling, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I am around and hope to post some pictures from this weekend very soon. :D

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa
