Hi All,
Claire, I will have to look more closely at adult women pirate costumes this year and see if anything stands out to me. Maybe I'll be more adventurous this year and dress up a little more. We'll see.
But, I do love your costume! Good job on cutting it shorter and making the zig zags at the bottom... I would have never guessed you did that!
Kathy (gma), love all your pictures! That pirate ship made of bread is amazing! I would never have thought in a million years to make an art sculpture out of bread! I always love all of the different scults/art work they make out of food every day at the buffets... so creative!
And, congrats on your son's wedding tomorrow!!!! What an exciting day! You'll have to post some pictures... and we'll get to see if your son decides to venture out of jeans just for the day!
Have a great day tomorrow, and I hope the weather cooperates, too.
Well, today for me was a busy day of baking...lots of baking!!! Today (in about an hour) is our kid's schools Back to School BBQ the PTSA throws every year. It's super fun, and there are all sorts of activities, and there is live music, and a big BBQ so people come and eat dinner. Well, the 4th grade (my youngest son's grade) every year holds a big bake sale at this BBQ to raise money for a big end of the year field trip they do in May... and all day field trip where they are gone from 9 AM - 8 PM!! So, a bunch of parents (including me) were recruted to bake items for the bake sale.
So, I baked 48 frosted/decorated sugar cookie pops (basically a frosted decorated sugar cookie with a popscicle stick coming out of it, so it looks like a lollipop, but it's a cookie. They are really cute and fun for kids), and then I baked 16 chocolate cupcakes with a vanilla cream filling inside of them. Yummm!
So, that was time consuming, but the other time consuming part is the 4th grade kids will be selling each baked good individually for 50 cents a piece, so we had to individually wrap each and every baked good item in some sort of plastic wrapping.
Needless to say, I baked, decorated, and wrappped up baked goods for about 6 hours straight today.
But, if the kids sell every item that all the parents are bringing today, they should make $260.00... so that'll be great and will help a lot with paying for the field trip.
So, we are headed out to the BBQ soon, but just decided to sit down and rest my tired feet from being on them all day in the kitchen and check this board, and think about our
Disney Cruise.
Take care and have a great evening, everyone!
Kathy
He swore he wouldnt marry and now he is all excited about it. Guess that shows it just takes meeting the right person.
Only twice has he been in slacks and he did that for me for graduation and a wedding. So we shall see what happens.
but i had to adjust the length, so i zigzaged the bottom. It actually ended up a little shorter than i planned, ooppps
The rest of the nights are casual dress.
