Family Day October 2010

It was family day at our house last Sunday. Most of the guys worked on the new shop and some of us played a game of dominion. We also celebrated Andre's 5th and Drake's 4th birthdays.

The birthday boys!

A couple projects from Tabbi and I

Tabbi's first embroidery project. I put the border on it and quilted it for her to hang in her room.

Tabbi is FINALLY riding!

I've been trying to get Tabbi to ride without training wheels all summer. We started school this week and today I told her she was going to ride her bike for "phy ed". She finally got on and rode it! So I took her right to town and bought her the basket that I promised to buy her when she learned to do it on her own!

Our dearly departed mailbox!

A drunk driver hit our mailbox early this morning. Apparently she wasn't hurt too bad. She got a ride home from a friend. Her truck ended up way down in the ditch. The only thing is, her truck caught fire and was destroyed too. The police were at her place this morning to make an arrest. Kermit barked half the night at the police and fire people out there.

And the winner is....

Tabbi won a blue ribbon AND a Merit award on her Birds exhibit at the county fair!

I got a second on my quilt in the Curtiss Corners quilt show.

Tabbi's play tent

Tabbi wanted a tent to play in, so we got out some sheets, clothespins, and tent stakes, and made this over the dog line! (good thing the dog's not tied to it!) She's having a blast out there! :)

Some random pics!

Aren't they just the cutest kids you've ever seen? :)
