Decorating the Gingerbread man

Now decorating him. We used almost 3 cans of frosting, and tons of candy. Each group did a body part, and boy did they love this part. The only thing that came to my mind was how sick these kiddos were going to be after eating him...yikes!

Making the Gingerbread man

To start off this busy school week we had to make and bake our gingerbread man. All the kids had a chance to stir the dough and just loved watching him bieng rolled into shape. It took 4 boxes of cookie mix. One for his head, one for his body, one for his 2 arms and one for his 2 legs...whew!

Sooooo busy

Just to let you all know, I will be posting some pictures very soon. We have been very busy, let me rephrase that, I have been very busy these last few weeks. For work we are currently working on our Fruit Chemical Use survey...It can be a booger. Then we received the December Ag survey, which is very easy, but we only have 10 days for that one so it has taken priority for the moment. Being on the phone for the most part, and traveling to meet with farmers has taken up most of my time lately. Coming home, cooking, cleaning, running errands...well you know, the usual mommy stuff, has left nearly no time for me to post on my blog. My free time is spent editing my work to be sent in to Sacramento. We still have to hang Christmas lights and decorate our tree...yikes. In the middle of all this my husband had surgery to remove the metal in his wrist from an accident 3 years ago. He is doing fine and the surgery went great. Whew! Lots going on to say the least. Next week is the last week of school, and the kids will be chasing the Gingerbread man through the school. I'll explain later. So there is a busy week ahead, hope I can keep up!

Bride and Groom cakes

Here are the Bride and Groom cakes i did for a friend of a friend...They were easier than I thought...All fondant too. My friend Tamara did the 4 tier wedding cake while I was doing these. The cake was beautiful! We delivered the cake so quickly that we didn't even get a picture with all the deco and cake topper. I will post one when I get one.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everybody! We had so much fun this year. We walked for about 3 hours Tricking and Treating. Our little fairy Cassie, our cheerleader Kaytlyn and of course our scary ninja Joey. These kiddos were so tired after all that walking, but were all ready talking about what to be for next year...gotta love em! Here are some snapshots of our haunted entrance, a picture of our treat bags for school, Joey and his friends and of course my little guy posing as a ninja.

Sweet baby face

I just love this picture of my baby niece Cassie...awwwwww. She looks so much like my sister, and has quite the little attitude at times. She is talking "baby language" and darn it she means business when she is telling you what for!!!!!

Funny signs

These signs are all over Bravo Farms...very funny!
