We had a work day and Teresa showed us how to make this fun table runner. I did not have time to go to the fabric store and so this was my "dig through what I have" selection of fabrics. I really love it! It was really fun and easy to put together. It is so unusual for me to actually finish a project :)

I also made four, count them, four apple pies that same evening. Before I could get a picture of them one was being eaten and another had been taken over to the church for bishopric meetings. Yum.

Family pictures today! We were scrambling last night to try and
figure out what we were all going to wear. I like everyone to be
color coordinated. We decided to include the dogs in the picture too.
We helped clean Kirsten's house and after they pulled all the old carpet out
I spent quite a while pulling staples out of the floor. Busy day.

Keyki and I have had a quiet day today. We went on a walk this morning and have pretty much just puttered around cleaning
and washing laundry all day. I dropped off some cleaning supplies at Kirsten's new house.
YES she was able to get in yesterday! I have to say "get in" because there were no keys, they ended up having to
break the lock off the door to get in. Someone called the police on them.
I said that was a good thing because it means the neighbors are watching out for each other.
Anyway, I will be gone with Thayne to a work dinner and will not be able to help clean tonight, which is why I was
dropping off the cleaning supplies. Luckily no one called the police on me:)

I was doing so well and then I totally forgot to post yesterday!
Oh well, lots of life was happening and that is good.
I went out to lunch with my mom and sisters. We went to the Gardner Village,
had lunch and wandered the shops a little. It was really a nice afternoon.
We saw a wonderful table runner in one of the shops which inspired us to create our own.
That will be a project for November.

I'm posting late tonight. We just got home from the girls tennis banquet for Katie.
She earned her Varsity Letter for tennis! Great job!

Thayne is still home sick today. I've been busy washing and doing basic after weekend cleanup.
Today I have a Cyprus Community Council meeting.
It's just a once a month meeting, but it helps me feel like I'm doing something
to be involved there this year.

These are the potions from our family Halloween party. So spooky!

We all had a great time, although Thayne has a fever today which started

as we were getting ready to go home. He has just slept all day long.
