Faire Play

Someone's mother was sufficiently entertained, and I'm forgiven for the horrifying state of Casa de Crazy. It was a fun day.

It's a Mud,Mud,Mud,Mud,Mud,Mud World

We may have had some rain recently.

And I may have an Evil Genius who is very much a little boy.

And where my registration tent is located at the track may be in a low spot.

And there may or may not be a little mud nearby.


What's a little mud among friends?
Who wouldn't want to play in this??
The Evil Genius has never even seen The Karate Kid...he's just a prodigy.
A little help here? Anyone?? Hello???
We may need a fire hose.
Or a mud puddle that's slightly less dirty than the others.
Oh, yeah, the boots did a GREAT job...

The little dude had a terrific time in the mud - and so did all the adults watching him play. Sometimes the best things in life really are free.

I'm Late, I'm Late, I'm...

...Oh, wait, no I'm not. Whew.

I thought I was pressed for time today - guests coming over this evening and I am trying to prep as much in advance as I can. Our menu, you ask?

Polynesian chicken and (fresh)pineapple kebabs, rice, sugar snap peas (fresh ones, too), mixed berries (cream on the side if it's wanted), and cheese and crackers for the picky eaters. Also half-sweet tea (iced tea with half the sugar)(or less) and home made lemonade. Oh, and if anone wants it, we have watermelon. We'll dine outside while the kids run free in the yard.

So far I have the chicken marinating (my hands smell like lime, ginger, and garlic. I may never wash them!) and the tea steeping, and the rest can happen after I have a bit of lunch. Why does food prep always make me hungry??

C'mon over - we'll even have the kiddie pool full, although you'll have to duke it out with the nekkid five-and-unders over who gets the squirt guns.
