Long time no talk

Well its been very busy the past couple of weeks. We had Jassy's Bday, Halloween, Seb's Bday and football games & banquets.

The kids enjoyed going out and trick or treating on Halloween. We were only out for about one hour but the kids came home with two and a half superstore recycled bags of candy. We only stayed out for a little as we had cakes to decorate for their joined bday party on Saturday.


For the joint bday party we had a total of 18 kids (including our own). I'm so glad for such a nice day out.


The following week had to do with some relaxing as I was burnt out from all the cake and icing making and the house cleaning. Also during that time I lost my only two day home kids due to finances.

On the Friday Nov 7th,we had a football game scheduled to finish of the season. The plan was for the Leduc Bobcats and the Spruce Grove Predators to have a BBQ then play football. But the CDMFA decided to throw int the Silver Raiders as a last minute thing. So the Bobcats ate and then played us the Predators. Score 0-0. Afterwards they played the Raiders while we ate. Score 0-0. Then We played the Raiders, in which we won 6-0. It made for a long evening but the kids had lots of fun. Afterwards the team was awarded their medals for playing this year. We also got a trophy.
Last week was also a long week of cake baking and icing making. During the week I made three 9x13 chocolate cakes, one 9x13 white cake, four 8" square chocolate cakes and 48 jumbo chocolate cakes, along with 9 batches of icing for the two football banquet cakes.

I also got in a little sewing. We bought a Breast Cancer Build-a-bear for the manager of the Atom team, and I made a football team jersey for it. She loved it. It even had a make your own sound in the foot that had the team doing their cheer.

What a busy few weeks, huh?

I'm still shocked by your hubby's talent in decorating cakes.

That jersey turned out great. Good work!

Now it's time to stop being so creative...you're making me look bad. LOL
