Clown Costume Contest As Pennywise

 Over the weekend there was a clown event.

And when there's a clown event, there is Natalie.

She has loved Pennywise the Clown from the It movies for years. 

Kings Of Horror, who have put on so many cool events, had a Clowns, Clowns, Clowns one over the weekend at the Wonderland of Americas mall. Natalie was like, heck yes! She'd have loved if actors from It or Welcome To Derry was there (Casey Hartnett and Sarah Voight from Terrifier 2 were though!), but she was still thrilled to attend.

There are fabulous small businesses set up. If you know this movie, you are cool.

We also were amused by this Elmo.

Natalie wants to collect all the It Funko Pops and was thrilled to add Ben & Mike to her collection. She's aching for Richie but he's the most difficult to find. 

Natalie also decided to enter the costume contest. She had made her Pennywise costume bloodier this time.

And yes, she does her makeup. I wouldn't know how to do it. 

There wasn't a lot of competition on a Sunday. There was 4 total. 

She got 2nd place! She got an autographed photo from the Terrifier movie, a t-shirt, and a free poster. She was so happy. 

For Mother's Day weekend, Kings of Horror will be having a Queens Of Horror event, and the guests will be announced soon. It'll be held at the Wonderland of Americas mall, so stay tuned. We cannot wait.

And who knows, maybe Pennywise will make another appearance.

Vera Bradley Tumblers At Target

I do love a pretty tumbler.

Do I need anymore tumblers?

No.

But am I still drawn to them? 

Yes.

I mean, LOOK.

How anyone can walk past and not look at this beautiful Vera Bradley tumbler is beyond me. And even better, this is only $24.99. I nearly fell out of my seat when people would tell me how expensive Stanley Cups were. 

Oh, and they come in different sizes too. These are the kid tumblers, but honestly, it's the perfect size to pour a cocktail in.

There were Vera Bradly tumblers with handles as well!

And again. The designs! Mother's Day is approaching and these would be a fabulous gift. I forgot to swoon over the toppers! 

Oh, and there are also mini totes that you can clip onto purses. I'd shove change or a chapstick in there. I'm forever losing those things.

These are all at Target. In store and online. Some designs are selling out quick, so if you want one, I'd get it. 

You can click HERE to shop. Just type in Vera Bradley tumblers and they'll all pop up. 

Which design is your fave?

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to always love having my kids home for the weekend--they were here for Easter, and we had the best time. They did get baskets, and we had brunch with my Mom.

......to have taken them to see Project Hail Mary--I had already seen it, but they hadn't, and I didn't mind watching again. They loved the film as I do! Natalie wants to try and make a mini Rocky one day.

.......to currently be reading The Heir Apparent by Rebecca Armitage. It's about Lexi, who was born into royalty, but broke away from it to live her dreams. She's off in Australia when she hears that her father and brother, who had been heir to the throne, has died. Suddenly she has a choice to make: will she accept being the next heir, or will she give up the crown to her awful Uncle? Reading this reminds me that it would not be easy being a royal. I'd miss my privacy and I'd lose it with all the rules. 

......to be going to a Clowns, Clowns, Clowns event with Natalie over the weekend. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. She will be going as Pennywise. 

......to have gotten this outfit for Tommy in celebration of the new Spider-Man Brand New Day movie coming out in July. (Get the shirt here and the bottoms here.)

Confused? Well, Tom Holland was pictured in it a few years back:
