You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.” ~Henry David Thoreau

WORMS!

Atticus' back to school party......"How to eat fried worms?!"
This was SO much fun! Menu: orange worms (Cheetos puffs), cheesy worms (cheese sticks), brown worms (chocolate twizzlers), Dirt cups (pudding/oreos/gummy worms), and of course, FRIED WORMS with blood (hot dogs with ketcup).
It was an easy party for me 'cuz Atticus did a lot of the work...cleaning house, setting the table, and prepping the food! After we watched the movie "How to eat fried worms" (which was surprisingly very cute!) I told the boys if they dug up a worm in the back yard I'd give them a dollar a worm. They went wild and made a lot of holes in my yard, but NO worms. They each got a dollar for effort! Next was the scavenger hunt going door to door collecting a jar full of condiments to cover the taste of the fried worms. The jars were full of a mix of 8 different things and it smelled horrible....no one ate it or ate any real fried worms! It was a super fun party!! (b.t.w. COZY went to play at the neighbors and didn't want to have anything to do with the "BOY party", SCARLETT liked to slurp down the gummy worms...see photo. Daddy was at work and aunt Natalie was here for the fun!)

What a great party idea! You are so clever! Seriously, the most clever part was the way you got the earth churned up for your garden and the kids having so much fun doing it! Hah!
