Stuck Like Glue - Sugarland

So last night was the E Family Halloween Spudnut fest.  Like donuts . . . only better. [click here]

awesome.

One of my most favorite days of the year.

It was awesome to see my family.  Yes.  We all live within 30 miles of each other BUT see each other ----- no way [near] enough.  I'm sure if I moved to Seattle, I'd probably see them more.

Got a lot of photos [Thanks M2].

So we got there first.  Peanut.  was. busting.  And Nana & Papa - yea, they are her favorite.

I did it.  What you all knew I had to do.

You bet cha ---- introduce them all to my buckle.  Boooooo yaaaaaa.  Yep, it's stuck like glue.

OMGosh, I drove my family nuts before the buckle.  Man, are they in for it.

Here's Nana & Papa frying away.

The Pita was eating them faster than Nana could fry them.  So he took over.  Ummm, he was way faster.

One of the very rare times you'll see us together in the kitchen without fireworks.  Nope, no middle finger since I am not holding the camera, nice & noted.

Ya, see, I have this nephew [I actually have like 34] but here are two of them . . . .

[M1 left, Tan on right].  M1 is the "buckle hater".  He was mumbling crap every time I introduced someone to my buckle.... "it sucks", "it's ugly", "it has gold", "it's fake gold", "I could buy a better one" . . . .so I decided the only grown-up way to settle this properly was to have an abs blow contest.

Contest rules?  easy.  one person flexes the abs while the other one hits.  Whose ever hand hurts first - loses.

Awwwww heck ya, I won.  Hey M2, where were all the photos of this action?  We did get one, since my hand was still fine from the jell-o I was hitting.  What?
o u c h. ;)

His excuse, "you don't have anything over them, like fat".  Ummm, isn't that the point?!  Who's the blonde here?!

Anyway.

Spudnuts.  Yum.

Making the spudnuts.  My Bro and Y-von by far the best helpers.  Sorry, Mom.

I was pretty good at eating them though. 

Pita family totals:

Peanut: 8 donut holes
Emz: 2 holes, 1 full [smothered in walnuts]
Pita: 6 full, 12 holes

Fun photo of Peanut & E2.

I think the Pita's face kinda sums up how we feel every year after spudnuts. 
Full.
Silly.
Tired.
Smell like oil.
and
Can't wait until next year.
M1 - make sure your abs are ready.

Thanks M&D for this awesome tradition.  love it.
