Sickness, Halloween and a Little Progress

Thursday morning I woke up with a low grade fever and body aches. Michael had planned to play 36 holes (that's two rounds) of golf with a friend and even though I felt TERRIBLE, I sucked it up and climbed on the couch for some R&R....HA HA HA! I took this picture because when I went to bed Wednesday night the house was spotless (of course I have no proof), but by 11:00 it looked like this. And by noon there was macaroni on the floor too. So much for the much needed R&R. I did end up calling Michael and made him come home after only 18 holes. I couldn't take it anymore and neither could the kiddos.



By Friday I was feeling much better and we were able to make it to the Fall Festival at the club. It would have been fun if it hadn't been so DARK! We really could not even enjoy the festivities because we could not take our eyes off of the kids for a second. Seriously, it was DARK. I kept telling Michael that we were eating mystery food because you could not tell what it was until it was in your mouth.

Saturday night was the Harvest celebration at our church. It was so much fun and the kids had a great time. We usually stay for the talent show, but honestly I think we were getting a little Falled out! I made these squirrel outfits for the kids and I just love this fabric. Peyton's shirt is appliqued and Parker Reese's has a smocking insert.



Here is a close up of the squirrel smocking insert in Park's shirt.

Sunday night was Halloween and we went trick-or-treating in our friend Mark and Laura's neighborhood. It was our second year to do it with them and we had a ball. The whole neighborhood gets together for a block party and then they trick-or-treat together as a group. Maybe next year I will try to get that started in our new neighborhood. I guess its time to meet the neighbors!!!

Here is Parker Reese as a candy corn and Peyton as a Star Wars Storm Trooper.

And last but not least, is my progress!!! Here come the holidays. I did these two shirts this week to kick off Thanksgiving and Christmas. All I need to do now is make the pants to match and it is checked off of my ever growing list.
