Yardzee

I do enjoy making things.  This summer I decided to make some large yard dice so we could play yardzee outside on Canada Day.  There are a tons of Youtube™ videos on different versions of yardzee and how to do it, but I thought I could do this simple, do-able project.  I only have a […]

Sock Hop Halloween 2016

In past years, our adult costume ideas have become somewhat elaborate and often ended in something that is not very comfortable.  But, because I was so comfortable last year, and enjoyed myself so much more, I decided that from now on, comfort is a priority for our annual costumes.

Before I started attending these events, I was reluctant and didn’t really think I’d like it too much.  I enjoyed dressing up when […]

King & Queen of Hearts Halloween 2010

This year is the first time that we went all in and dressed up for Halloween as grown-ups (allegedly). This is the first year we attended a Halloween party hosted by my brother and is wife (devil & angel). We bought our costumes online this year and opted for the Queen and King of Hearts. […]
