Carnival Night!

 

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.
