weekend wrap-up

We had quite a weekend. Quite a weekend indeed. Finally, we no longer have to listen to everyone gush at how the BY will be playing for a national championship. My Saturdays will (hopefully) get back to more normalcy now that Greg and I have given up on the idea that a national championship = huge raises. So here is what happened:

We went to home depot (of course - but don't worry - these expenses are in the budget) where Greg had the opportunity to kick for a field goal. He was so so so so close - check out my action shot:

I'm thinking about getting a side job as a sports photographer.

Inspired by my cousin who told me that I totally need to figure out how to make these - I made these cowboy booties (modeled by my old cabbage patch doll that my mom no longer sees fit to store in her garage - we call her Jenny from the Block based on her terry-cloth sweatsuit):

These cowboy boots are for a cousin's wife who is having a girl -I know I need to focus on all those gifts I promised but this was a necessity (otherwise my mom was going to make me go in on the bumbo chair she is giving her and that definitely wasn't in the budget).

Inspired by my friend Qristal (I like to spell her name with a "Q" in honor of her favorite Project Runway candidate) I have been wearing accessories. At Sunday dinner last night - everyone commented on how fancy I was. Especially my two-year old niece. I don't know if that is a compliment or not.

And finally - Saturday was national talk like a pirate day. I don't really like those games but because my nephew, Davin, is obsessed with all things pirate (he named the horse that lives across the street from us Jack Sparrow) I thought I would share with you all his typical Sunday dinner get-up. He isn't allowed to wear his skullcap to church but I have a feeling it is in the car so that he can put it on the second church is over.
