KICK OFF TO CLASSROOM: ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT!

Yes, yes, yest!  It's our last week of freedom, our last week of fun, our last week of summer vacation...our last week living the LATE, GREAT LIFE and do you know how we spent yesterday?


5 friends + 4 dogs + 26 brand new wiffle balls + 5 brand new wiffle ball bats =
1 TOTALLY AMAZING, COMPLETELY FANTASTIC, EPICALLY EXCITING
WIFFLE BALL HOME RUN DERBY TOURNAMENT
 
 
We had the best, best, best time!  We set up posters and scoreboards, turned our whole yard into a wiffle ball field, had an awesome snack table and played all day long!  Check out one of our posters below:
 
 
 
 
Snacks???  Food???  It wouldn't be a farewell to summer party (or any party at all) without food, so we stocked up.  We checked out the Cafe for our favorite recipes and of course, we came up with a bunch.  We made L.E. Carmichael's "Ants on a Log", "Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Burritos", (one of our fab favorites-who doesn't love peanut butter and chocolate?) and Laura Helwig's "S'mores Trail Mix".  We also made our own pizzas-English muffin style-and had a candy buffet with Skittles, M&M's, Sour Patch Kids and Mini-Kit Kat Bars. 
 
One of our friends came up with a crazy double dog dare:  he dared another friend to make a candy stew with skittles, M&M's, Sour Patch Kids and crushed Kit Kat bars in a broth made of Root Beer soda-UGH!  I know you can imagine what it looked like but I had to take a picture.  The picture is even more disgusting than the description...just take a look:
 
 
 
Thank goodness the double dog dare was for one bite.  He took the challenge, at the bite you see in the photo and then my mom threw out the rest.  Wasteful?  Yes!  Disgusting? Yes!  Really Fun?  Yes!  (My mom made me promise that won't happen ever again...and it won't, I promised!)
 
 
What are you doing to celebrate the end of summer?  Tell us about it at Klub Krumbs and then check back here to find out how Krumbs and I spend our last few days of summer vacation!!!
