Mom and Dad's Creative Projects

This picture doesn't do justice to see how big this building is that is going up over at the lot. This view is looking west. They guys have really been putting in long hours trying to get as much done as they can before bad weather begins. Richard has spent many evenings drawing the plans on the couch, re-drawing plans on the couch, etc.

I thought part of the picture was "missing" then I realized that is part of the privacy fence showing in the corner. I get a little nervous watching the guys perched up on the beams. That's Brian up on the beams at the moment, but Ryan has seen his share of time up there, too.

So while Dad is drawing his plans for this huge building, I was downstairs sewing doll clothes. Kayla is getting this baby doll for her birthday and Lisa said it would be fun to have matching jumpers for the doll and Kayla. She made Kayla's jumper, and I made the doll's. Then I just kept making outfits. It was so much fun!!

The hat was so much fun. Who can remember the fabric?? Rebecca had her leg in a cast for three months when she wore that dress!!

Okay....this is the last outfit I'll post. I had tooo much fun sewing these outfits!

Happy Birthday, Brian

We finally found a time when we all had free and had a birthday supper for Brian! Joshua was more than ready to offer to help blow out the candles!

....and of course we played a party game --- Pin the Tail on the Donkey! We all played and Rebecca was chief organizer. Dad was just certain she had him faced in the wrong direction after spinning around.

Here are the final results. Notice number 12 is "Bem!"

If the party games weren't enough, then it was time to carve pumpkins. Deal of the day was $1.00 pumpkins at Ron's IGA.

Kayla wanted to not only carve her pumpkin, but also paint her pumpkin! Fun evening.
