The Flowery Branch Car Show & Chili Cook-Off

We took the guys, the kids, and my parents to The Flowery Branch Car Show & Chili Cook-Off. It was much bigger then I thought it would be and was a lot of fun.  The guys really enjoyed looking at the classic cars and all the restored VW's.  I know my dad really enjoyed it as well! Kale is posing with his favorite "Grandpa car."

 We even met Chipper the Gwinette Braves mascot at the show.  We topped off the day for the little guys at the bounce house and with some cotton candy!  :)

Grandma & Grandpa are here!

Visit with Grandma & Grandpa!

My parents had a screen printing show in Atlanta, so they came in for a few days! The kids loved to see them.  The first morning after they arrived Kale woke up at 5:30am so he could "wake them up" and play with them.  Needless to say, he had to patiently wait until at least 7:30am since he didn't go back to sleep.  This also made him extremely tired and cranky on friday.. but here are some fun pictures.

                                                     

We got Grandma all the way through the tunnel!

                                             and then the kids followed....

Pinata Fun

Today I started to do what I thought would be a fun and easy project with Kale, make a pinata.  His birthday is coming up in October and he wants to do a Buzz & Woody Party.  Toy Story!  So I decided instead of buying a pinata we would just make a Mr. Potato head one.  Thanks to Pintrest.

Easy - yes it was easy.  Basically tear paper and dip in in a bowl with flour and water. 

Fun - Yes it was very fun, it was easy enough Kale could do it, and I'm pretty excited to  see how it turns out after I paint it.

What I didn't factor in was the MESS!  

Kale throughly enjoyed dipping paper in flour paste and swinging it around in the process.  Even slapping it and forming it on the balloon was a highlight for him.  But when we were done he looked like he had been rolled in bread dough, the floor/table/everything was a mess and the paste did NOT come off easily.  So I sat on the floor with the back of a spoon for a good hour and scraped the dried flour past from the floor and chairs. 

Note to self: do outside next time, or cover Everything in trash bags!

Below are some pictures of our fun, I will post a photo later of the finished product.
