Somebody’s getting married

Yeah, ain’t he swell!

Papa Herbie sent the kids a package today.  A box with some Barbies, clothes, a car & moped.  All toys that were played with by me and the kids’ Aunties, and now on to the next generation.  Apparently my father must throw nothing away!  These guys haven’t seen the light of day in like 20 years.   I must say the clothes cracked me up.  They are quite 70’s.

In any case, the children have been playing with them all afternoon.

Ken looks pretty awesome with the pink moped helmet on!

Then things really took a turn for the silly.  Not at all surprised, are you?

The kids are most grateful to Papa Herbie for the surprise today.  And “the ladies” are all fighting over who is going to marry Ken.  Brett seems to have made the decision for them now… she announced that Ken is going to give them each a dollar and they are all going to get married together.

Huh.

From left to right, the blushing brides are:  April, June, Lucy, Louie, Alana, and Violet.

Ken is not pictured.   He must have been busy shopping for six rings.

Ensemble

Brett’s into dress-up these days.  Some of the outfits she comes up with are quite stunning.  For example, this one.  A little black dress [mine from Vegas/wedding trip], a baseball hat, winter scarf, and cowboy boots.  Oh, and really kinky hair from the braids she took out.  Lovely.

I swear I don’t have the heat turned down that much.
