Dog Gone Cute-Gracie's 4th Birthday

Today [June 26th] is my dog Gracie's birthday! She turned four years old, which is crazy because I feel like it was just yesterday when I got her. To celebrate her big day, I made her cupcakes and gave her a new toy. Here are some pictures of her amazing day.


I got this idea on Pinterest and decided to make a similar one.
My name is... Gracie!
Today I am: 4 yrs old!
I like: Playing with the hose, sleeping, eating people food, SF Giants-Go Panda!, my owners!

This is the new toy I bought her. She played with it for 5 seconds and then walked away.

These are the cupcakes that I made.

I also made cake toppers except for the birthday hat, that was already made.

Hooray for Gracie!
Happy Birthday G!
I hope you had a fun birthday!

Feels Like Summer!

Today is the first official day of my summer vacation! Thursday was the last day of school, but I did have to work on Friday [and weekends don't count]. On Thursday, the After School Program had a last day of school party which included:

  • BBQ
  • Talent Show
  • Parent Volunteers Appreciation
  • Water Play

During the water play, they had water sticks to shoot others with, at one point I was their main target. I was nearby making sure they had enough water left when one boy "accidentally" got me. I told him I wasn't even upset because it actually felt good. So another boy decided to yell, "Let's all aim for Miss Carly!" So I had about 5 boys shooting me with water. At that point I had to yell for them to stop, which they did [eventually]. I didn't go near the water area the rest of the day.

I made these for the 5th graders at the After School Program.
Reese's Cups
Chalkboard Paper w/ their names written in chalk
White String
Brads
The kids really loved them and hugged me [even the boys who never hug anyone].
My Last Day of School outfit.
Dress: Kohl's
Nails: Avon
Headband: Wet Seal
There was one more kid left to be picked up, so I enjoyed some leftover Capri-Sun while I waited. His dad was 10 minutes late.

I'm so excited to get a break from work and to spend that money I earned!



This weekend was the Apricot Fiesta [my town's annual downtown party] and I went on Saturday and Sunday with my friends and parents. 

My Sunday outfit:
Dress: Modcloth
Lemonade & Kettle Corn

Today, I'm going to watch Maleficent with some of my friends and do some shopping.
I can't wait for future plans this summer. I know I'll have tons of fun!
