A Day at the Festival

This is what we did last weekend... or rather what the girls did.  I stood around snapping photos and drinking frozen Coke slushie.  (I love those things!)

More pony rides for Lulu!  Yah!  I say, Yah horsie!

But M got to ride the BIG horse. Thank heavens it moved S L O W L Y.

Yah!  Lulu's in the lead!

Moving on to motorcycles... pink ones.

Our little neighbor, and Lulu's "partner-in-crime"... G-man!

They do everything together!

The three amigos had great fun!

Feline Friday

Tonight's message is brought to you by the kitties.  Snuggle with the one you love!

The Need for Speed, and More Grass Seed!

As previously stated, Lulu likes things that go fast.

The problem is that I like my garden to have grass.

Hmmm, me thinks these two things do not mix... healthy grass and speed crazy four-wheelin' six year olds.

So after much debate, I banish her to the sidewalk out front.

BEWARE ALL PEDESTRIANS! 

AHHH... the wind blowing through her hair!

Lulu loves her 4-wheelin' machine!

Today's Message Brought to You by Cute Dwarf Hamster Viking Pirates...

This here's Bella Cinderella Star, the most fearsome-ist of all the Dwarf Hamster Viking Pirates.

This be her ship... The Viking ship OOLGA.  It's a fine ship, indeed.

Bella Cinderella Star is preparing for a journey full of danger and excitement.  She's looking for treasure. Treasure in the form of sunflower seeds... food of the Dwarf Hamster gods!   But as any Dwarf Hamster Viking Pirate knows... you go to run the wheel for the seeds to spill!

Time to batten down the hatches,... or whatever you do on a viking pirate ship as noble as this.

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!  squeek.  squeek.  AAARRRRGGGHHH!

Avast, and land ho!  The teasure is within sight!  We shall capture it!  Take no prisoners!

Nom nom nom nom.  Ah, the smell (and taste) of victory! 

This concludes our first adventure of BELLA CINDERELLA STAR -- CUTE DWARF HAMSTER VIKING PIRATE!

So pretty!  I actually bought this at a yard sale hosted by an elderly gentleman who was an MP stationed in China just after WWII.  Yep, that was the first time I had ever met him but we talked for a long time about his adventures in China.

These were at an estate sale, at the bottom of an old plastic lard bucket along with a lot of other vintage cake decorations.  And some wadded-up peppermint patty wrappers.  From a long time ago.  EW.

Santa and his reindeer were from the same estate sale as Superman.  There was a whole room dedicated to Christmas decorations.  I was like a crazed lunatic digging through all of the boxes.  OUT OF MY WAY PEOPLE!  THERE'S OLD CHRISTMAS STUFF IN HERE!

This little angel is from a community garage sale.  She was in a Ziploc baggy, beside a million and two used, but washed, coffee mugs.  I also got a GK leo for Munchkin at the same home.  I asked the nice lady how much she wanted for the leotard, which looked new, and she said, "Aw, I think all the bathing suits are a dollar a piece."  I said, "But this is a leotard."  She said, "Yep, they are all a dollar a piece." 

Allrighty then.  SOLD!
