Dead Ant Dead Ant

Two weekends ago, August and I went to the school's annual fundraising Gala where drinks are served in hopes that parents will get sloshed and bid on all kinds of interesting items.

Like. This.


A big ole basket of Pink Panther stuff that my friend Susie's husband donated from his company, MGM Studios. I'm a sucker for pink.
...
So, I placed a bid. The beautiful thing about me and drinks and fundraising events is that the more I drink, the less I remember what I want to win, so USUALLY I will bid on something at the beginning of the evening, then forget to bid on it again and I will not win the bid.
...
Not this time.

But as it turns out, this might be the best thing I ever bid on and won! It was full of Pink Panther movies...including the old school cartoons. Brooke LOVES the life-size Pink Panther and the wee little soft Pink Panther. It's been over a week, and she still carries them around.
...
She is also addicted to the old school cartoons, and this weekend while I was in Texas, she and her daddy had a Pink Panther marathon.
...
She was so inspired, she started drawing... Check out the BOOM! and the POW! These old school cartoons were a little violent, yes? Plus I had to field the "Momma! The Pink Panther is SMOKING!!" comment.
Clearly this basket was a good deal...Brooke is happy and the money went to a good cause.
...
She also drew a lovely picture of Samoa, who really isn't a bobble head in real life.
