We were rained out on Sunday (see HERE).. but Monday night was

perfect night to blow a few things up.  We didn’t get to go to my

friend Tammy’s, but the city of Ottawa had a “Blow Up Make Up” party.

What’s a party without a little drama?  #4 was not happy about something..

I think some one took his chair..

By the looks of this picture #5 had something to do with it.

Maybe it was this kid.. he’s not related to me.. but he should be

OH.. are you and your family doing that Volkswagen “punch” thing?

If you are here’s a free one for you.. Silver one!

It was starting to get dark.. and we broke out the glow sticks.

This kid is using his for a halo..

They can also be used as hair sticks..

Just in case you were wondering.. #4 perked up after the glow sticks

came out.

Happy Fourth of July!

I’ve always wondered if any of my children would go into politics.. I believe I have my answer.

#5 ran right into the City Hall Chambers.. climbed in the chair and said;

“Robert F Kennedy.” I don’t have any idea why he said that.. but he impressed

the onlookers.

Here’s #5, #2 and his friend that I affectionately call #6 from time to time.

I believe #5 is calling the meeting to order.

Don’t all city officials wear their hand painted frog tee shirts?

I have achieved nirvana.. I ate lunch today at The Market Cafe in Ottawa Kansas… it not only has fabulous antiques (to buy) all over the store.. but it has pie.. Pie that would make Martha Stewart cry..

How quaint and cute is this?

How about this Triple Berry?

I think this is cherry.. looks good huh?

How about some apple?

I believe I will..

Flaky crust…

MMM…

a small sign that makes my heart beat faster

I read about this sale in Tuesday’s paper, it didn’t really excite me.  WHY? well.. Ottawa Kansas is not known for their FABULOUS estate sales.  Every sale I’ve ever been to that was called an estate sale here in Ottawa has always been a garage sale, with ok stuff.  Never a true estate sale, where you get to walk through the house.  Imagine my surprise when I pulled up to this house and nothing was on the lawn!

I couldn’t help but take some photos of the beautiful garden in the backyard

#2 & 4 peeking out a window in the office

Some of you might say.. WHY would she take those kids to an estate sale with her?  I can’t help it, not only do they beg to go, they have been trained SO WELL.  Even #4 looks for important stuff to sell, and loves to take pieces to the cashier to set in our pile.  #2 likes to hondle the price down on items. Each one of my children like to be a part of this business we call eBay.

Super cool overlook into the Living Room. I wasn’t brave enough to walk on it.

My loot. See that Christmas topiary? It’s MINE.. all MINE and only 2.00 I have a small

Christmas problem. We won’t discuss that now.

Some uncut 1970′s patterns and PRISTINE cotton Baby Clothes, buttons in a box, red velvet (for me).

PERFECT Fitz & Floyd 8 Santa Mugs and pitcher

Super cool vintage tiles, jewelry, and model

How cool is this sequin beaded beret hat?

A stash of Needlepoints (I collect those)

See that Crayola Box? It is FULL of crayons… and original sharpener.
