alien autopsy
Mike was on the phone the other day with a local friend when they started talking about the series of books he’s reading about alien vampires. This provoked further conversations about other, more serious alien books and movies. It was decided by the end of the phone call that we should have an alien-themed party. And an alien-themed party we had on Friday night. Fortunately, our new friends from church somewhat get Mike’s humor and idiosyncrasies and didn’t bat an eyelash at Mike’s party plans. Each couple brought along alien-themed dishes. At the end of the night we watched “Fire in the Sky”. Apparently, it’s based on a true story. This now confirms Mike’s suspicions.
We treated everyone to an entree of spaghetti and space balls.
Another dish we contributed was alien soup. However, it was forgotten and didn’t get eaten until dessert the next night.
Alien autopsy strawberries.
Alien bread.
The prize for the evening. The maker of this cake went all out. When I questioned that the icing should’ve been more green I was corrected by the “fact” that alien skin has more of a grey tone. My mistake.
The alien decorations: alien creatures, little green martians, yellow slime, glow sticks, and green and black streamers. We went all out.
The wives minus one who arrived later.
The girls are now home from school and keeping me on my toes. Annie wants to be constantly doing something fun. Today we set up a job chart for the girls where they earn stickers for tasks and get rewarded after so many stickers. They (mostly Annie) are very excited about it and are constantly asking what job they can do. I wonder how long that novelty will last.
Yesterday the girls attended a costume birthday party. I’ve got pictures and will more about it tomorrow.
