friday fotos--my life seems to involve wearing a lot of costumes lately

I like a good reason to dress up! Don't you? Here's what we've been up to this week....

When I was in California two weeks ago, I got to go to the midnight premier of Alice in Wonderland. I couldn't find a way to shove the Queen of Hearts outfit into my suitcase--but glad I got to hang out with people who DID dress up! That's Haute Cakes next to me (I'm in the gray shirt and black sweater) dressed up like a rabbit. The rest of the people were his fun friends, and a few other people from the audience who just wanted to be in our picture :)


Nothing like bonding with your friends by shooting them! This was after our three hour indoor paintball game. I did more hiding than shooting this time--but someone did manage to hit me right in my butt at some point!

It was Ninja's 27th birthday! I threw him a neon-themed blacklight party. I'm sure my neighbors often wonder what the heck is going on at my house, but had to ESPECIALLY wonder the night they drove by and saw this in my window.....
Soooo much fun! I haven't danced like a crazy maniac to techno music since I was a teenager! So grateful I have such a fun group of friends!
And of course a Ninja needed an appropriate birthday cake.... :)
I've been working through my university to help produce a production of Shakespeare's The Tempest with 4th-6th graders at a low-income school. My main job is photographing our practices and typing up our blog (hmmm....wonder how I got THAT job?!) I won't put up pictures of the kids, but I thought this photo of "the bum line" was pretty funny :)

And just another little picture taken at the school we're working at. This brings back such memories of playground days! I loved the click-clack of those beaded jump ropes.


Hope life soon gives you an occasion to dress up! And ~Happy Weekending!~

My life never has occasion to dress up........except in more than my regular clothes for an occasion date out. SO, I LOVE to see all the fun things you do. :) Hope you have a great weekend, and next time you are in CA, come see me. :)

You certainly know how to keep the parties to a max. I often wonder how you are not an exhausted puddle on the ground. . . a happy fulfilled puddle :)

I think I will live vicariously through you until I get up enough nerve to try at least HALF of the things you do! :)
