We had a nice Thanksgiving this year even though we were missing our daughter Kaitlyn. My oldest daughter Elizabeth who was married this summer also celebrated Thanksgiving elsewhere.



I made a delicious peanut butter pie from this recipe-- http://thatsmyhome.com/pie-recipes/peanut-butter-pie-time-pie/




I made these ornaments for a local swap and a prim swap.


This was the other ornaments I made for the local swap.



I must have read the instructions wrong for this hat--it was almost done and it was able to fit my cat.

We had a fun time riding the holiday train to Lawrence and back.

Neewollah













On Saturday, October 31st the Turner High School Marching Band traveled to Independence, KS to compete in the Neewollah (Halloween spelled backwards) Marching Festival and Parade. Over 24 high school marching bands participated.
The band performed their "Evolution of Swing" halftime show with a ton of energy and enthusiasm. The Golden Bear Band received a "1-Rating," which stands for "Superior". We are extremely proud of all the hard work that the band has put into this season, and all of the great students that make up this band will always be remembered by the trophy that will now sit in our display case. Way to go Golden Bear Band, or as we like to say "G-Double-B!"

KC Royals World Series Champs!


We ended up parking not far from where this picture was taken and walked in. I'm glad we did, people parked in parking garages and some had to wait 2-4 hours.



I took this picture when we first made it to Union Station parking lot.



School was out, I was planning on taking them out even if it wasn't.













We stood for hours but it was a fun and crazy day. Go Royals!!















We love our boys in blue!

Fall



I'm the queen of unfinished projects, this has been sitting around my house for a couple of years. I tea dyed it last week and need to put it in a frame.





Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the cool air, the beautiful shades of leaves, comfort food and my list could go on and on. My 15 year old is in the marching band now that she is in high school, we enjoyed watching her perform at half time on Friday nights.

Putting up my patriotic prims


I only made a few patriotic/4th of July stuff this summer. I printed out this cute picture and spray painted a frame in this silver gray. I also bought a couple 4's and covered them in scrapbook paper after seeing one on Pinterest.




This is one of them --Paper mache 4 covered in patriotic paper. I can't find my other one, I used a wood 4 and covered it in a different patriotic paper.




My lamb's ear is growing like crazy-- I transplanted this is June.

Excuse the weeds -- My Brown Eyed Susan's --Somebody switched tags on the flowers because it showed a purple flower, but I'm happy with what I got.
