This last Saturday my friend hosted an hot dog party sponsored by Oscar Meyer. I don't know where she finds these things but she found this site online where you can sign up to host a house party where different companies will sponsor them. She made these adorable invitations...


and when the time came she went to the store and picked up a TON of hot dogs with coupons to get them for FREE! After realizing that there was the potential of 40 people showing up she asked ( after I offered ) me to bring a salad. It was soo much fun. They had all kinds of fun water activities for the kids.

A slip and slide


A kiddie pool at the bottom of a kiddie slide


But my water phobic kid kicked it at the water table


We did eventually get him down the slide


But he spent most of his time on the smaller kiddie slide with an even smaller kiddie pool at the bottom with little to no water in it. In his defense the water was really cold.


It was a good time. Thanks Oscar Meyer.
( all the kids were sent home with Frisbees, whistles and soft baseballs emblazoned with Oscar Meyer)

On Sunday the Thrill of the Grill continued when Derek received new grill tools and ate a grill themed dessert for Fathers day.

Yes I made that. It took longer than I thought it would but it had more to do with bad planning than difficulty. But it was so fun. ALMOST makes me want to make birthday cakes for my kids.

Welcome summer!
