Pumpkin patch

As a ritual, this year we went to visit the pumpkin patch just like last year. 

I love how, the more the kids get older, the more are able to enjoy the surrounding. 

Specially Gabriel, he wasn't so overwhelmed and over stimulated as in the past. Indeed, he loved to play with the other children in the bouncy house! 

Michelle's favorite activity instead is the petting zoo. She spent almost all the time there with a bunny on her lap

You've figured by now that my kids are going as a ninja turtle and as Princess Merida (from the movie Brave) for Halloween, right? LOL

We did have lots of fun and me and hubby even let the children take a few shots of us 

More pictures of the day are available on my facebook page of course! Enjoy fall and the pumpkins!

French Manicure

I want to thank my sweet friend Eva for gifting me this wonderful mani job last Sunday. 

 It was her birthday but she ended up buying me the manicure, go figure. 

Wanna know last time I had a manicure???? My wedding day, almost 10 years ago.....EEEEKKKK 

 It was way over due!!! 

But Since I don't get to go often, I was a little overwhelmed by the options, so I took the safe route and went with french manicure. 

 The picture doesn't give it justice, it was really neatly done and so shiny!!! 

Thanks Eva!!!

Weight update #6

I thought was about time for another weight update, this time with measurement and all, since it's been a while since I measured myself (August to be exact!) 

 So, here my measurements for this month: 

Chest: 37" 

Waist: 32" 

Hips: 41" 

Thigh: 23" 

Arm: 11" 

It seems that since last time I shaved 1 inch off my chest (seriously, can they get any smaller?????), 2 inches off my waist and hips (which feels awesome!), 1 inch off my arms (I've been slacking on my weights) and no changes on my thighs (GRRRRRR). 

All considering, not bad at all. 

Even my weight, is only half of a pound up. 

Considering that weight fluctuates 2 pounds up or down, I'm not too upset about it. 

I'm now able to run 0.5 mile with jogging speed without stopping, after 1 mile of power walking to warm up, not bad!

Halloween costumes!

This year the all family dressed up for Halloween even tho we went trick-or-treat only for one hour.

The kids thought it would have been funny to dress up in matching characters this years, so Gabriel Went as Super Mario Bros and Michelle was Princess Peach.

Hubby decided to go as a ninja

and I, of course, was his geisha! I tried many times to do mi make up with the white cream on my face but after failing the first 3 attempts, I give up and just did my eyes and lips lol

Too bad my camera doesn't take good pictures at night as there were some very interesting decorations.

I thought we needed to celebrate the first day of October and the cool weather finally arrived.

Can you guess what wind is blowing in my house??

We just HAD TO go to the pumpkin patch to get the first pumpkins!

Can you tell this is our fave time of the year???

Goal of the month!

I just reached my goal for the month of October on etsy: I finally listed 50 items!! Hopefully they will sell well! I thought was a smart thing to do for the up coming holiday...all my items makes great gifts! I know it's not a very big thing but I'm happy about it! And maybe pretty soon I will say: I sold 50 items on etsy!!! That will be great!

To celebrate this milestone I'll have a cupcake.....crocheted obviously!! Eheh!

Business Licence YAY!

I finally did it! Yesterday, October the 9Th 2008 I finally got it my business licence!!! I still cannot believe it!! I worked really hard, saved my little money and I could do it. Was my goal for September, but that OK anyway!
I was very thrilled yesterday and felt like I was walking on the clouds. Now Crocheted little thing is official and I can do a lots of more stuff.

After all the excitement, this morning I got up and realize....I really don't know what to do next, I so much dreamed about this moment that I forgot all about the "after" part....But no panic! I will relax this week end and I'll brain storming all my ideas and I'm pretty sure I will come out with something good and I will make this business grow! For now I guess I'm going to concentrate on advertise and making some good sales to recuperate the money I had to spend ehehe! But still it's a good sensation. I still need to register for my name, I'm trying to figure that out :)

I must admit I'm really proud of me!!
