Costume Contest

Yesterday my puppy was in a costume contest. She was the cutest little bumble bee, and she WON!! I wont tell you how many dogs were in the contest, but she wasn't the only one. Her's her picture...I'm so proud! :)

The had a couple games, one for dogs and one for humans. They tried to get the dogs to bob for hot dogs instead of bobing for apples, but the hot dogs didn't float so they tried dog treats, which floated, but Candy wouldn't have anything to do with it, I had to push her towards the bucket. They also had a game to see who could draw the best picture of their dog in 60 seconds....lets just say mine started as a bear, then looked like a cat, and in the 60 seconds I wasn't even able to get legs on the thing. ;)

Portrait

Almost a year ago now some one I work with got a pencil portrait done of her two sons, and ever since then I've wanted to get one, first I though it would be nice to get portrait done of my mom's side of the family, for some reason the 34 of us never seem to get a group picture, but the rest of my family said no...stupid people. So I talked to my parents about getting one of just us and giving it to both sets of grandparents for Christmas, so thats what were doing....here's what it'll look like.

It started out as 3 different pictures and she put them together!

Graduation Part 2

Ok, so I found out a while ago I graduate December 6th, and I talked to my advisor and I have everything all set, first good news I've heard from MCC. But I'm looking at my class schedule and it shows I have class December 11th, wait I graduate December 6th....does anyone else find something wrong with this? I was thinking of just not going to class what were they going to say I graduate the week before they can't make me come back.....I have a 30 min presentation to make that day.....Have I mentioned I love MCC?
