Well, there we were, minding our own business, when Nonie came to visit for the weekend so we could celebrate HER 90TH BIRTHDAY!!!
I know, right? Amazing. Not only that, if you hung with Nonie for about 6 seconds you'd realize she's actually about 36 posing as 90.
And it was almost Halloween, so you know what that meant - carving pumpkins.
Here's Mae's go at it:
Meanwhile, Nonie couldn't decide what the heck she was going to do.
In the end, though, it all worked out nicely.
Meanwhile, Aunt Debbie and I were still trying to get that mess of a heap of pumpkin muck cleared out of my pumpkin. By the way, Aunt Debbie also played "Book Fairy" that weekend. Every time we'd go to bed she'd leave a book for us by our bed. And every time we woke up and went downstairs for breakfast, next time we came up? Another book or two on our beds. Being the gigantic bookworm I am, you can pretty much figure out that the Book Fairy and I are pretty tight.
In the end, a wild success, I'd say.
And it wouldn't be a birthday without a big old party, so Uncle Brian, Aunt Tasha, Eli, Zaya and Nana & Papa all came down and we had ourselves a nice little celebration.
Mom decided to order from one of our favorite Italian places - a must with a Nonie with the name Mufalda Anita Bocelli - and we got it on.
And then we served cake...
And Pax served the ice cream. Only he didn't really serve it. He just asked if he could serve it so he could, well, I probably don't even have to tell you, do I...
All in all, the weekend was amazing - other than the fact that Uncle Jim stoke my Blackhawks ticket! - and I'll just leave you with this.
