Fall and Birthdays

Not much else new around here. I'm still waiting for my schoolbooks to arrive so that I can start school. Layla and Tana just left the house because they were here this morning while Bethany was cleaning. I think today is the last day we have Emmy, the cat Joanna (me) is housesitting for, but she's at our house locked in one of our rooms. She's a nice cat, you just have to give her an anxiety pill and a syringe twice everyday...lovely. Sunday afternoon to evening we had a party at Dan and Dalia's for Slevin and Frankie's birthdays. Slevin turned one on the 28, and Frankie turns 4 on the 11.

Joanna made the cake and I helped with the fondant. We were quite tired.
Mom is doing the decorations for Joe and Kayla's rehearsal dinner, and we're thinking of a fall theme, so I saw some neat ideas for pinecone flowers, so when mom, layla, tana, and I went on a walk this morning, we found some suprises....

I'm not sure how to use the burrs, but we may think of something...We shall see!!!!
