ace of cakes with a touch of the zing and zang
I started on this year's jackolantern.
Friday night had us at the eanes mustang mixer. a fund raising event for the school where the adults get to drink and spend $ on future partying. the austinmodhouse wine party sold out early in the evening.
the dude drank some beer and won a bottle of wild horse at the wine toss game (applause!). he spent a good bit of time lost in thought, staring blissfuly at the stars.
their passion for star wars has only increased with time.
stand back, he's practicing his jedi moves again.
we found r2d2 at their halloween party on saturday.
fang
little fang. kat made him some chinese teething bread sticks. I think they'd be great w/ brie and fig.
cake contest for the school carnival. her secret ingredient...?
my daughter has developed a strong interest in the lesser known jedi, she really likes shaak ti
they were so excited about this years carnival. turned out we had TOO MANY tickets. we had to leave at a certain time because kat had to fly to boston for business. we found we still had many tix left even after we hit the bake sale and bought bags of cookies. we ended up buying chips (they ran out of hot dogs) that the kids can pack for school lunches.
a highlight of every fiesta (carnival) is the maze. a group of sadistic dads fill the gym with appliance free cardboard boxes joined with duct tape. the freak out factor is high. we've experienced our own kids getting lost and finally emerging in a state of hysteria and panic.
this year, they were prepared. my daughter covered one eye with a bandana an hour before attempting the maze, a trick she learned from mythbuster's pirate myths episode. #1 son took a hand crank LED flashlight with him. they both enjoyed this year's maze without anxiety.
this cake really stood out from the others in the contest. I think that is crumbled muffins or cornbread in the bottom resembling kitty litter. the tootsie rolls were manipulated to resemble cat turds. and if you were unclear of what they were attempting, they included a cutout image of a cat taking a dump. I hope these people signed up for the AMH wine party!
