Graduation party invitation

My oldest son graduation party invitation...

Palm Springs

Scrapbooking our little stay in Palm Springs

Girls care package

Yes, the same goes with my girl, I have to do girly things this time, much easier. So far, I made the mom's cards and lollipop flowers presented in an "Edible Arrangement" I saved. Still to come heart shaped brownies, and I know I will find something else to add.

Boys care package

The only fun thing about having a boy in college, is when you meet with the moms of their friends (who became your friends over the years,) to make a care package party. We all bring 10 things and put one of each in a box to mail to our sweet-craving sons. It got to be more fun for the moms than the boys... we gather around food and share the latest gossip on our kids.

So this year, I decided to re-wrap (Valentine's day style) a Hershey's chocolate bar and to hide a lollipop in a sailing boat. Who says it is not age appropriate. Boys be boys: sailboat, hammer and cars, that is what they do not outgrow.

Still to come: a card, (as soon as i find a way to make Valentine's day card, masculine), so that the moms can write a little note to their sons. And a heart shaped brownie, to make just before the party date....

Un zalamero!

Who would know that at my grand age I could still learn something? My son proved me wrong. This was for a Spanish project: shooting a video to explain how to make a zalamero (for those of you without a 9th grader, it is kind of a "super milk shake".) Complete with milk, apple juice, turkey slices, ice cream, gummy worm, banana, oreo cookies, monster drink, cool whip, chewy bar and let's not forget "ice".

939 Coast, the grandkids

What a wonderful idea Ben... reuniting most of the grandkids in front of Grandpa's building.
