Grinch Party 2.0

In order to have an authentic Grinch Party–you’ll need…an actual Grinch.

They are slightly hard to find–but as you can see…

we got lucky.

Then, you’ll need an assorted bunch of Whos. 

As you can see again…

we…

had…

an ample…

supply.

Heh, heh.

We played a trivia game…

then a “Dump it to Krumpit” game…

where you might get something lovely to eat…

or you might get something really rank…

No…really.

Some of us just hung out,

minding our own business–which was also fun!

It was a happy night in Whoville…

and everyone had a great time.

I can prove it.

Heh, heh.

Mini Halloween Decorations

When mom is putting up all the awesome Halloween decorations and you really want to help.

You’ll need a happy little witch on a broom…flying adorably backwards.

Frankenstein–of course. Duh.

Pokemon with a pumpkin headband is a particular favorite.

Annnnnnd chocolate candy corn…lots of it.

Oh, and see that push pin?

That’s how big these cute things are.

I’ll let you know when she’s ready to be hired out to decorate YOUR place.

Just so you know, I’m first in line.

 

Helloooo Kitty

For this sweet girly–it only seemed right that she have her favorite little character–which is, of course…..

Hello Kitty!

This one was seriously so much fun to make because–truth is– I love this kitty as much as T does.

I’m happy to share birthday parties and Hello Kitty with this sweetheart because we all know…

that when you share love…

it only multiplies!!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!! Grammy loves you!

 

Summer Booths

We spent considerable time in the booths at the festivals this summer.

My boy hosted a booth for his work at most of the events in the county. It was tons of fun to go, just to be with him, so he didn’t have to sit there alone for hours on end.

We had a lot of Dippin’ Dots…a personal favorite–and tried tons of other food, most of which I was too busy eating, to even grab a picture. I know, I know….slow dowwwn…chew your foooood. I’m a work in progress.

Sometimes we had little imps visiting their daddy…

which, of course, is always delightful.

Another perk is finding the best homemade bread and salsa and jam and…candy! We found these incredible Swedish Fish without the red dye!! Dane and I bought a TON of them! Yum!

My memories of this summer will be full of the people I love…

surrounded by all the people they love.

We even have a new somebody–that we already love, and would very much like to keep.  

Hee hee!

Nearly Summer Snow

A few days ago we woke up to some crazy rain. I mean, like torrents of rain.  For 4 or 5 minutes it even turned to hail. I was amazed that it wasn’t even all that cold outside…just wet. We found this odd pile of hail in one spot on the lawn that must have slid off the roof or something.

ANYway, the best part of all this moisture is…

what it does to our mountains.

Oooooh.

Not bad for nearly June–right?
