I thought it would be really fun to rent a cotton candy machine for Rex's birthday. (Okay so now you're thinking..."Hmmm...was that really for Rex or was it for Cheri?" Yes, you make a good point.) Anyhow, when the lady told me how much cotton candy one carton made I figured she was exagerating, so I ordered big. Turns out she wasn't exagerating. We used the machine for his party and every kid there had several servings. Then we took it to a family party the next day where all the kids had several servings. When we got home we decided to make the rest of it. Wow! If anybody wants some, let us know.
Here I am with the machine. I'm kind of sad to return it tomorrow. After serving up the cotton candy I had it everywhere. You can see it growing up my arm in this picture.
Here's Jeff showing off some of the leftovers.
I think we're going to let Rex sell it out on our street corner so he can start saving up for college.

YES PLEEEEASE! :) Love that stuff...You are one cool mom. I'm sure "Rex" enjoyed it very much ;)
I can not believe you made all the cotton candy after you left. It is amazing. You are a wild cotton candy lady. You really do like it. That was a lot of standing and spinning the arm. Thanks for bring it to the party.
Holy Cow! I'm sure you can find a way to weave it into your next YW lesson. That is one load of cotton candy!
I like the fundraising idea myself. Weren't you kind of known for doing that when you were younger, too?
I also like when whoever on the video started painting Rex with the frosting and putting it in his hair. I thought I hope that person is also the one who will try to get it OUT of the hair at bathtime. :-)
Happy Birthday, Rex!
YUM! My favorite! And nice chocolate cake shots! He's a cutie!
About Jeff covered in cotton candy...it reminds me of a feather boa. Tacky, very tacky!
Bu those are great photos. Keep 'em coming!
