This is a mask she made for some celebration in some country. I completely forgot the details.

I do remember there was much glitter involved. Always glitter. You can’t get rid of that stuff. Ever. Buries itself in the carpet. Nice looking mask though.

Sounds like a tall order, huh?

Tori’s line is (I think): “On Thursday, in Russia, he ate through four beets.”

Everyone: “But he was still hungry!”

Melissa was able to create this amazing costume. There are two more beets in the back that you can’t see in the picture. That makes four!

I thought that it would be nice to post a picture of the surprise I received from Chris’s parents.

How sweet are they!? I arrived home from volunteering at the girls’ school to find these beautiful flowers with a truly thoughtful note.

I’m really lucky to have not just Chris but his wonderful family too.

This is one that recently came out but I hadn’t been able to find locally. Now I must look harder to find the others.

Delaney gave me the dispenser to add to my collection. Sometimes there are benefits to having kids!

She spent about 15 minutes on the way home telling me how she chose certain colors to look more like seaweed and others to look more like water.

…and did you notice the bubbles Mommy?
…and did you notice his shell…

He’s one of the characters from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
