As most of you reading know, my grandma Ruby has stage 4 small cell carcinoma of the lung. She was given 2-4 months to live. As grandma pointed out when I went to change her calendar to August, that was 4 months ago.
I have been coming home at least every 2 weeks, if not more, to spend as much time with her as I can. Grandma Ruby has always been a big part of my life. I grew up spending the day with her while my parents were at work. She is my "second mom" or at least that's what I called her. :)
I'm always trying to think of fun activities to do when I come home and Michael came up with this one.
A carnival night!
We started with face painting.
Grandma got a pretty flower!
We all got our own nasal cannulas to match grandma.
She was pumped.
(I was making a carnival, not a fashion statement.)

Michael made some yummy cotton candy!
I made mini funnel cakes using bisquick, hot vegetable oil, and a bug juice squirt bottle.
Mom and grandma enjoyed these treats with a side show.
The first act:
The biggest, little couple in the world!
Michael couldn't keep his midget shoes on.
The second act:
Conjoined Man & Wife!
Not pictured: Mom, ring toss, balloon animals & throwing a safety pin at the balloon animals.
Grandma laughed so hard.
Acting so stupid was unbelievably worth it.
