Day 14 of the Halloween Decoration Special Feature (a bit late) and Matt's cake
Just a quick update. And as long as I'm updating with a picture of Matt's cake, I might as well do the Halloween Decoration Special Feature. 
This is a magnificent Tic-Tac-Toe Board made by seester Jen. She performs magic with a brush and paint. Check out the cute ghosties and candy corns made with egg-shaped wood pieces! The kids can't wait to get this out every Halloween and play the game.
This is Matt and his cake. It is supposed to be a monster emerging from a pond. Notice the two lily pads (a requirement, according to Matt)
He loved the cake. I got carpal tunnel from dotting the monster's head with pea rock sized dots of brown frosting that frankly looked like dry cat food pellets when I piped them on. The eyes are made out of halved marshmallows. Sidenote: since there are three halves of marshmallow on the cake, I had an extra half of a marshmallow leftover. What to do??? Make hot cocoa. I made a cuppa for myself just because I had a half a marshmallow left over. Finding one's self with a leftover half a marshmallow is a perfectly acceptable reason to make and consume hot cocoa.

That it is.
Yet I babble. I liked her style, her wit and her sarcasm. There was a comment she made in one of her posts to a Marissa H. Don't know if Dave's Marissa visits, but t'would be interesting to find out.
Enjoy the roasting of roast meat.
That tic/tac/toe game is adorable.
You have the patience of a saint because that marshmallow would have gotten eaten before I could've thought of hot cocoa.
