Barbecued Brine Shrimp... Ewww

O.K. Sometimes I get creative with my post titles when there are multiple holidays I'm blogging about. Sometimes it's not so pretty.

May 16 was Barbecue Day. While Jeremy and Jr. were out running errands, they saw little barbecuing gnome figurines. The gnomes were doing the barbecuing, not being barbecued. Ewww. My post title is getting to me. Each gnome held a hamburger in one hand and a grill spatula (what's the word for it?) in the other hand. Barbecuing gnome figurines. They each also wore a chef's hat in place of a gnome hat. The hat covers their eyes which I don't think is very safe while grilling. Do you?

Anyway... since May 16 is also National Sea Monkey Day, my talented artist daughter showed me her "doodle" page on which she drew a brine shrimp in the bottom right corner to celebrate. You know sea monkeys are brine shrimp, right? 

Thank you, my talented artist daughter, for celebrating.

And thank you to my talented errand-running husband and son for celebrating. 

Fair Convention

Even though Jeremy missed some of our celebrating while he was at the fair convention, he did his own celebrating there. The convention had different theme nights for dinner. One night was Star Trek themed. One was the Roaring Twenties.

He went to the convention with two other artists:

Marcus, Funny Man Who Does Tricks

Dan Paulus, Comedy Magician

Check out their websites. http://www.funnymanwhodoestricks.com/

When I asked Jeremy to give me their websites for this post, he included his own. http://balloonguyentertainment.com/

 

Marcus is our good friend who hosts the annual jugglers' BBQ that we like to go to. He won an award at the convention- Service Member of the Year- because he's so awesome. Jeremy was so glad he got to be there when Marcus won that award. 

Jeremy had a good time and built a very nice butterfly out of balloons.
