B is for Bumpa

Somebody misses her BUMPA! I think it is because BUMPA sent Elsie her first Barbie the other day. Enclosed was a picture of a gradeschool crush of mine-Barbie Frame. That really cracked me up. Nice touch Mom!

And then BUMPA called yesterday and said another package was on its way. What will we do, say, when CHRISTMAS or HER BIRTHDAY roll around?

Oktoberfest 2

Oktoberfest

Here is Little "Heidi" at our local Oktoberfest on Saturday night. Fueled on bratwurst, noodles, and ice cream, she danced splendidly for hours. Until the Fest Meister banned kids from the dance floor. Easy dude!

Hot Dog Cake

I am the master of my own thesis! I completed my masters and was treated to a HOT DOG CAKE made by Ruth and Elsie. Made of poundcake, this 10,000 calorie whopper boasted mustard and ketchup colored frosting, and relish made of green gumdrops. We polished it off in about three days.

Summer Date

On the first day of summer Elsie and I picked strawberries at Hurd Orchards and then stopped for a cheeseburger, hot dog, fries, and two shakes on the way home. Monday is the LAST day of summer for us. As Cher so eloquently sang, "If I could turn back time!"

Summer Reading

Henry picked up one of Elsa's old magazines and read through it while I was making dinner. He is so ADVANCED for his age.

Watch Out Stephen Hawking

Three questions and a comment from Elsa today:

1. Do cats have lips?

2. How do you nod?

3. What is worm juice?

4. I love cows because they are hamburgers.
