Animals+Ghost Stories+Sleeping Outside=WEEBIE-JEEBIES!

Good Morning!

OH BOY we had a great weekend, but it's Wednesday and we're still recovering.  The TGIF sleepover was a tremendous success.  Our party had great food, great friends, something amazingly cute and something amazingly terrifying! OH...and we didn't sleep a wink!

We had watermelon pops, English muffin pizzas and we even made homemade dog biscuits.  The food rocked!  One friend brought over chicken wings with blue cheese dressing and another brought ice cream-ugh...so much for healthy eating.

We decided to sleep outside on our deck with sleeping bags since it was a warm, clear night.  That might have been a mistake...or maybe not, depending on how you feel about animals and ghost stories.  Maybe I should explain-

We were stretched out on the deck while it was still a little light out and guess what we saw?  A mother chipmunk walked across the yard carrying one baby in her mouth, while another one toddled behind her.  We couldn't believe how tiny the babies were and that one of them could already walk.  The walking baby was wobbly and stopped several times to rest, but it was so little and so cute.  It's baby chipmunk legs were like little matchsticks!  Even Krumbs couldn't bring himself to want to chase these chipmunks.

Once it started to get dark, we exhausted ourselves playing "Flashlight Tag".  After some huge drinks of water, I thought for sure we'd fall asleep but someone (Krumbs!) decided we needed a good ghost story.  Trust Krumbs to pull out the laptop and bring us to the Cafe.  Have you read the story of "The House That Sarah Built" by Judy Parker?  I've never been so freaked out by a story-and it's true! 

I can't stop thinking and thinking and thinking about the story.  I still have the weebie-jeebies and it's been four days!!!!!  Check out the story and see for yourself.  What do you think?  Am I just overreacting?  (Me? Overreact?  Never!)

There you have it...the slumber pary stories.  Have a great day and check back soon!
