Susan had volunteered to help out with the Festival of Tree's charity auction ("Season's Readings!) and to host a table at the "Princess Tea Party" for disadvantaged young girls (she got "The Princess and the Frog"). Given both events required a lot of crafting, Katie and I drove up to Pocatello, channelled our best Martha Stewart, and helped out.
Susan designed all the ornaments for the charity auction tree and we made them out of the pages of an old psychology book (learned a lot about Freud's theories on human sexuality while cutting/pasting). She also designed takeaway favors for the 20 little girls participating in the princess tea party, Princess Tiana crowns and firefly necklaces. We spent most of Friday cutting up, gluing, mod-podging, glittering, be-ribboning and assembling ornaments and crowns, with assistance from Susan, Matt, Kasey and various of the dogs.

After finishing things up Saturday morning with the help of Pocatello's finest "Spudnuts" (potato flour donuts), we decided to have some fun and headed over to the number one attraction on TripAdvisor's list for Pocatello, the Museum of Clean. The museum founder gave us a personalized tour (bless his heart, we could NOT shake him) and we nodded our heads as we looked at vacuum cleaners and brooms galore. We went home to a dinner of pizza and chicken wings (planned and cooked by the boys, obviously) and finished the evening out with a random movie marathon that included Guardians of the Galaxy, World War Z, and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

"hey - I want some pizza too?"
All in all, a fantastic weekend with some of my favorite people.
