Party in Your PJs 172


It's Tuesday so it must be time for Party in Your Pjs!  Party 172 to be specific.  I have had a fun and busy week--Staci and Parker are here visiting.  Last week we went to Salt Lake City for a couple of days and took Parker to the Hogle Zoo.  Parker loved the World Of Flight Bird
Show--he was actually pretty enthralled.  

That's Ali Rose with one of the handlers and a Golden Eagle who was part of the show.  We had a fun time but, as always, it was nice to get home.

Now onto the party and Features from Party in Your PJs 171!
Feathering My Empty Nest  has a nice tutorial to embellish Chinese lanterns.  Fancy up those backyard lanterns before the end of the season!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY 141 LINK PARTY

Welcome to Funtastic Friday 141! Who can't wait for Fall! Love the crafts, recipes, and good times.  School begins here this coming Monday--Ali Rose is starting her Senior year of high school and wow, it's hard to imagine the years have gone by so quickly.  Ali has 5 older brothers and 1 older sister so I have been doing this for quite awhile but with the last one it seems it came even more quickly than I imagined.  Also, Senior year is more expensive lol with graduation announcements, senior photos, cap and gown, etc.  I'm not complaining just been there done that haha.
