Peyton's Language

Last week, Kenny Mayne did a satirical clip about Peyton Manning's play calling from the line of scrimmage. I really like Peyton Manning and I hope he is as good of a guy in real life as he always seems in the football world. Anyway, it's funny so I thought I would share with you!

Pink/White scarf set

My most recent knitting project. I knit alot now during football on Saturdays and Sundays because otherwise I dont have very much time. But then I miss out on all the football.! THere needs to be more hours in the day! Anyway, I intended these to be for Matt's cousin whose name drew in the Christmas drawing but there seems to be some confusion among the family members about who drew her so I might keep it for myself!

Silly Lucy

The other day, we looked over on the couch and Lucy was looking very creepy. She was sleeping but her tongue was sticking WAY out of her mouth. I tried to get a picture but she had scooted it back in some. Still creepy looking though.

And then the other day I bought her a new walmart girls sweatshirt. I put it on her when she stays outside when it is chilly. It is way cheaper to buy a kids sweatshirt and cut it than buying a dogs coat. But I put the sleeves on her legs and they looked like 80's leg warmers.

She was not amused and quickly tried to pull them off and play tug!

girls night in with dwts

Last Monday I got to babysit Olivia for the first time! Katie had some baby-free shopping she needed to do so I got keep little Olivia. Lucy was so excited she couldnt keep from trying to lick her all night. But we pretty much just stayed on the couch after some bouncing/walking the house until she fell asleep. And Monday is Dancing with the Stars night so we managed to fit that in too. I know Olivia was really interested in seeing who did well and who screwed up bigtime! So much so that she slept right through it all until Katie came back and made her wake up to eat :)

Hanging out with the girls!

Cumpkin Parving....

thats what I accidentally called it one day last week. But anyway, last weekend Matt and I hosted a pumpkin carving contest at the church last weekend. We bought tons of pumpkins and made lots of food and had a grand ol' time. I actually didnt carve anything because I was super tired after a looooooong week but I enjoyed watching everyone else have fun. Here are some pics from all the festivities:

mini pumpkin pies

super chocolaty spiderweb cookies


Michael took 1st place with his spooky-eyes pumpkin

Gayland and Jackson took second with Bullwinkle

And Derek took 3rd with his ghost pumpkin

Matt carved a water molecule in true science nerd fashion but I dont have a good pic so I couldnt post it. But it was nerdy belive-you-me :) We had tons of other great pumpkins too! But only 3 could win and I couldnt decide so that is why I had other people be the judges :)

crazy dancing guys

Matt found this video today and said it was pretty funny...I thought I would share with everyone.

New beanie/scarf combo

I hesitated to post this because this is likely a Christmas present for one of my readers but I am proud of this set and really like it so I wanted to show you all! I made it them today while watching football this afternoon and evening. My favorite is the hat because it was a pattern I thought of in my head a month or so ago and wanted to try. It actually is a variation of the pattern I want to make because of the yarn thickness but I really like it. All of the pieces are made of super soft almond colored acrylic yarn.

This buckle is for the scarf as a different option to cuffing it around your neck.
