no time tonight

Spent the first part of the day at The Farmers Market and spent the second half of the day at Eeyore's Birthday Party. It's a big HUGE party that they've thrown every year for 45 years to celebrate the birthday of the Winnie the Pooh character. It's a wild party and I try to never miss it, this year was no exception (last year was since we were in Florida and couldn't make it). Everyone is supposed to be in costume, some choose to wear JUST body paint as their costume. The beer is flowing, there is a LOT of pot smoking, people are chomping on smoked turkey legs, kids and dogs are EVERYWHERE and everyone seems to be having a great time! It's just crazy and it's so much fun; the kids (my kids) love to go (although we only drink water and lemonade, eat ice cream, sausage wraps & chalupas (no beer or pot for us)). It's the only time that I let them get their faces painted, we ride school buses to get to and from the party (the free shuttles), they get to bang pots and pans in the drum circle, they make god's eyes, we untie and keep giant tissue paper flowers and they get to see grown ups doing very unusual things!
Here are some YouTube videos showing the full flavor of Eeyore's
Most are from 2007
