Bloging with a cat on my lap

Ah, a quiet afternoon, taking a few moments to send an update. Cleo is snuggled in on my lap, did you know it's hard to type with a cat on your lap? Especially when she takes up so much room lol! Sorry Cleo, not picking on you because you know I love you!
What a fun week we had. Wednesday night was Bunco, my turn to host. I had a lot of fun fixing my snackies, the big hit was the cream cheese penguins, they are so darn cute! The dice sandwiches are a nice touch for a card or dice party also.

Thursday my daughter, son in law and Grandsons arrived from OKC for a long weekend visit.
Alex is 5 and William 3, we can never get enough of them, so fun at this age! Uncle Jon was able to get away from KU for a quick visit, the boys just love their Uncle!

Cleo, my, my, my, her quiet little world is turned upside down when little ones come. She insists on being in the midst of it all though, no hiding for her! I had to laugh, she is in all my pictures of the boys. Here she is safely tucked under the table but lying on top of the train tracks watching them play with Lego's.

Such fun having them here.
And nowI had better get cracking and packing! Tomorrow Jerry and I are off to sunny Florida to visit Grandpa. Yeah! So hard to believe I am packing sandals, shorts and Capri's!
See you all when I get back, have a fun week!

Another Bunco bites the dust

The past few days have been non stop busy. Fall is in the air and I have been bombarded with orders for wool felt, kits and patterns. Something about that nice crisp cooler weather turns our heads to sewing dosn't it. Most of my weekend was spent cutting, packaging and shipping. And then the race was on to get ready for Bunco, at my house, tonight! That meant CLEANING! The word alone stresses me out. It looked like the Grapes Of Wrath here on Monday, like after a major dust storm had rolled through, I had some work to do believe you me! The past 2 days Cleo and I, armed with our mops, buckets and sprays scrubbed and polished the house from one end to the other.

We dug out some of our fall decor and scattered that around.
And then we trotted off to the grocery store with our long list of supplies so we could spend today making our Bunco munchies.

Lets see, we made a pumpkin shaped cheese ball that was not only pretty but very tasty, hot artichoke dip and veggie crescent bars. Our Bunco snacks are usually not known for their vegan or weight watcher qualities. Over 5 packages of cream cheese went in to these, not to mention all the cheeses, sour creams and what nots. And they sure were good LOL!

For dessert we had chocolate-chocolate chip bundt cake with chocolate glaze!
Cleo and I are plum worn out, my head is mush and it's off to bed we go.
Now that our chores are all caught up we plan on having a little sewing fun over the next few days. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week!
