The Cirus is in Town

Cole Brothers Circus - the country's largest traveling circus under the big top is in town.

But who needs that when we have an in-house Cat-crobat? Or is that Acro-cat?

He works without a net. You don't think he's stupid enough to jump do you?

Comments and Smurfs

If a blogger blogs on Blogger and no one comments...
Does it really make a blog?

Of course all I can think of now is "Smurfette really smurfed that good, didn't she Papa Smurf?"

BTW Happy Smurfday! They turn 50 this year how isa that possible?

My Answer to the $4.00 Latte

Freeze regular coffee in cupcake tins. Have wonderful husband make you a doubleshot of espresso. Place 3 coffee "cupcakes" in a large glass. Add espresso, half and half, maybe even a little shot of a flavored creamer or caramel. Top off with fresh whipped cream - it helps to have a nifty dispenser like this one - just add fresh whipping cream a little sugar and maybe the flavoring of your choice (cheesecake this time) and find the perfect spot to enjoy. Like a newly built wall in your yard (more on that later).

Stuff in the Yard

We are lucky enough to have not just one, but TWO of the elusive Domestic New England Flamingo living nearby. Shhhhh! Don't tell too many people or the yard will be overtaken by Birders trying to get a look at this rare bird for their life list.

Naughty Monkey

This is what Tyler picked out to give his teacher at the end of the school year. Seriously. All by himself. Can you even stand it?

The best part is when she opened them and said that she had them in her hands and had almost bought them and her friend talked her out of it saying they were to impulsive and frivolous!

They really are very cool shoes - you can check out Naughty Monkey footwear here: http://www.naughty-monkey.com/

It was a great school year and I am soooo looking forward to not having to wake the boys on Monday and chase the bus all over town. I told them if I heard either of them up and out of bed before 7:00 on Monday it wouldn't be pretty. Of course you and I both know they will be up bright and early - my guess is 6:10. Maybe they will make me breakfast.
