Homecoming Parade




Happy Sunday!  I thought I'd pop in with a few pictures from our homecoming parade.  Collin refused to have his picture taken...Ryan was with his high school friends...and Jonathon decided to pass on going this year...so Marcel it is!  Can you tell he was a little excited to get some candy from the parade?  And...do you like his sweet little tiger face?  We're the Loveland Tigers. So...he saw some girls with "tatoos" on their faces and he wanted one!  There is an art store right behind where we were sitting so he walked into the store and asked for his face to be painted.  Hilarious...she wasn't doing face painting.  Marcel is the all time negotiator and talked his way into getting his face painted for free.  When we left the owner was cracking up saying that he should be a politician when he grows up.  Have to say I agree with a sales person or a politician would be a great career choice for him!

And I've wanted to play along with the CASology Challenge for a while!  So here we go...a very CAS card.  Happy Sunday!

Kids are so fun when they just throw themselves into something. An ability we all appear to lose, sadly, once we hit about 13 and start to care that other people might be watching us! Love your shoe card with that bright pink sentiment! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week, Lynn!

Oh my gosh..........I cannot believe he walked into a store where they weren't doing face painting, and got his face painted....for free!!!!! I guess who can resist that adorable face? That seriously cracked me up :) Love all the pics you always share, Lynn! And the card, that is definitely a relaxing one, love the pink bling on the shoes!

ROFL....that is priceless! That natural charm and talent for never taking "no" for an answer :) He's my kind of guy! EEK!! Flip flops?! Actually, I'm still wearing them here...we had a lovely day yesterday and I wore them to my sister's as they pick fruit from their trees...I love the call "come get fruit!" Slept well last night...woke up at 7, not 3! LOL Hope Ryan had a fabulous time!

My daughter was the same way last year. She would bat her eyes and the teacher would let her go to cooking class during after school activities... for free!

I just picked up the Holiday Cards & More issue by PaperCrafts yesterday. I was flipping through and saw a fabulous CAS card and thought to myself, "That looks like a Lynn card." Guess what? It was :)
Congrats to you!!!
