Fair Season In Full Swing!

So this is how our day at the fair started. With me trying to buckle the boys into the stroller when Logan grabbed the camera and took a picture of me. Now I know what the two of them see all the time. Boy is my smile crocked.


From the boys getting to explore a old train car to Patrick on the big giant slide, fun was overflowing everywhere.

They loved riding the motorcycles as well as the spin they took me on. We went on the teacup ride and Logan found it very amusing to spin mommy round and round.

They totally love riding together on everything!

Logan wanted to have his picture taken with this cow so bad but was a bit afraid of getting to close.

Then there where the ducks. Logan has not stopped talking about them. He wants one so bad. I tried to explain the entire thing about them not staying that size forever. Then little Noah decided to inform his big brother that there was no mommy in with the chicks and it all went south fast. Once again Noah's horns came out at the worst moment!

Everyone had fun. Now it is on to this weeks fair in our town. We are dropping off all of the kids entries today. The food will be judged as well as the things they created. Big hopes for lots of ribbons. I don't know where they get their creativity from!

Happy People Everywhere!

Well the fair started and the kids had a blast. We will be back over there today for the beginning of the Tractor Pulls. Yes I said Tractor Pulls. I love America. I talk to people all over the world and many places have not heard of this ritual of ours. I think it is amazing that while I eat a big piece of fried dough I can attempt to cover all of the kids ears every time another one goes by. So, that is why God gave me boobs. It was to bury small heads in my chest so they don't have hearing problems the rest of their lives. So that is what I will be doing with all my little friends today.
Then it will happen...I get to work at the Fried Dough or Milk Shake booth at the fair for the Booster Club. I am so excited. I always wanted to do this. I know this doesn't make sense to many of you but I love the little things in life. They make me really happy. I love doing something new. So hopefully I won't burn myself or forget to shut off the milkshake maker, otherwise they will never let me help again!

Fair Time is Upon Us!


Well we live in the area of the Fair Grounds and are we ever excited. It is so much fun getting ready with all of the kids entries to be judged. This year is Logans(4) first year to enter something. And what can a 4 year old do totally on his own? Plant Sunflowers. They are over 10ft tall outside the back deck and they are a incredible learning tool for a small child. They take this small seed and put it in the ground and from it comes this Giant of a flower. Sure you could do this with any plant, but a sunflower is so big that they really get a sense of what is possible. Last year was the first time he planted them and then the birds came and ate the seeds all fall. He then learned that from his actions he was able to feed someone else. He was so amazed and could not wait until this past spring to plant again. So we dropped off his 3 Stems, 3 Flowers, 3 Leaves. This is what they describe in the book for the rules of what you bring. I gave him one of my old blue mason jars and he carried them in with pride. He watched the woman put them up on the shelf to be judge. And now he waits. Will he get a ribbon? I don't even think it matters. The look on his face as he watched that jar of flowers go up onto the shelf was totally worth it.

On the side of the biz look for some new flash cards as well as different Christmas combos. Can you smell Autumn in the air? We sure can and boy am I having fun with some great new products on the way. I am still in a holding pattern for back orders from some of the paper companies, but there are a couple that will be worth the wait.
