Busy November

Hello blogisphere.

It's been a while since my last post.

This time of the year is always my busiest.

November is especially busy this year.

We just celebrated my sons 12th birthday.

That takes planning, he likes to have a theme, a piñata that we create, and games.

So this year it was a meadevil theme. We had a shield piñata which we all three had a part in making. A sword we created to hit it with was so good it broke after the fourth hit. 

Our games were a ballon walk relay race, cardboard sword fights complete with cardboard shields all crafted by the birthday boy and a ring toss game that Zach's dad created call King Tormax' rings. 

A little side note, a couple years ago my son got a book from the book fair that had an activity in it to make your superhero name. You took a few letters from this row, a few from that, and whala! 

Tormax was born. So now my sons alter ego is Tormax. 

I am also working on a table for my kitchen to replace an old desk I had for my coffee maker to go on. 

It is still unfinished but I will try to post photos when I am done, on here.

Thirty one is on going, but very rewarding and almost two years later I still very much enjoy it. 

And of course it's National Novel Writing Month, NaNoWriMo for short. I am working on a new project this year. I haven't been able to spend as much time on it as I'd like but I'm up to 23,000 words so far. 

The end goal is 50k in 30 days. Fingers crossed I can complete it this year. 

My phone is constantly pinging from the NaNoWriMo twitter updates coming in. 

Speaking of which, while I have dinner in the oven I should say au revoir for now and spend a few minuets working on it. 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all if I don't get back on before.
