Halloween Party!



This past weekend we attended a family Halloween party. I don't think I have been to a dress up Halloween party....ever? It was great fun! We decided to go as the Flintstones and to make our costumes. Not such a big deal, except for the fact that I don't really know how to sew! To complicate matters more, we didn't use a pattern. However, after many alterations, I think they turned out ok!
Here we are as the Flintstones!
And here is a close up of my little Pebbles

I also tried some new recipes for the party. If anyone is interested, I will post them. First i made pumpkin spice cupcakes. I didn't get a picture of these, but they were so easy and so good! Then I made cake balls. I had never heard of them before, but they were tasty. I tried to make them look like eyeballs.

We had a great time! We will have to make this an annual party!
I'll leave you with a funny picture, of my little girly girl, with a sword, in a bucket :-) Because, well, its cute!

I'm baaackkkk :-)

After quite a hiatus, I am back to blogging! You will notice lots of changes to my blog! New address, new pictures, layout, everything! Since my blog is now open to any reader, you will notice that I am going to be vague with some details. I am quite aware that it wouldn't take much to dig up any information someone would want, but let's make it a little bit of a challenge. :-)
I am committing to frequent posts; somebody keep me to that! :-) I want this to be a place where people are able to connect and discuss with one another. So stay tuned, you will see some things to that end coming soon!
