This blog is dedicated to Mimi.  

A friend had an egypt themed birthday.  Mummy Sulli was born.

And Mummy Benny


BFFs on the lake




Do NOT mess with this guy



Sulli got a bee sting on his tongue.  He dealt with it better than I did.


Nobody tells stories like Grandpa

Sulli learned about carnie games this year.  He was desperate to win a Turbo stuffed animal.  I told him the odds were not in his favor but he could try one game. So we picked the wiffle ball throw onto the mugs game.  We discussed the high likelihood that he would not win the Turbo and he said he understood and was OK with it. He got 8 balls,  threw them all, and lost.  He collapsed into a heap and started bawling.  I scooped him up and we started walking away.  The carnie running the game yelled after us to come back.  They said "lets give him another shot"  I was like, um... we aren't spending any more money on your game.  But, they gave him 8 balls for free, told him to throw them all at once, and miraculously, a ball landed in a red mug (really they placed a ball there for him).  So he won his Turbo.  They were, hands down, the nicest game runners I've ever dealt with.  Usually those people are ruthless.  Well, now they have  a player for life.  Sulli was thrilled. I'm not sure if it was a good or bad thing, but it was certainly a story.

Awesome new thing Sulli is doing

Counting part 2, wait for it
