Fair and Things

Took a trip to the state fair, 1 hour later and about $40 poorer we were on our way back home. I think we're good for a couple years at least. I don't feel a sense of tradition in this that others do.

Look at Charlie lookin too cool, don't worry he won't be looking so cool in a couple pictures from now.

We went down the yellow slide and of course Charlie wanted to race. He raced Mark and Kenya first and won.

Then he raced me and Kenya and did not win. Notice his face in the next two pics.

He was not happy!

But Kenya sure was!

We like good ol' fashioned cotton candy, we'll pass on the fried twinkies and chocolate covered bacon, thanks.

We had some whiny tired kids this night, maybe that's why it wasn't as fun as I thought it'd be.

After writing down "the list" I was able to cross some things off, it's amazing how just writing it down helps so much! I got the Halloween decor out (that wasn't hard, I have about 5 things, now I've added to the list buy more Halloween decorations.) I planned my meals for 2 weeks and shopped for them, I cleaned out the playroom, I made some bows during conference, I did some weeding, bought some bulbs but haven't planted them yet, started a book for Charlie, mailed some thank you cards, and did my laundry on schedule this last week. Just a tiny little dent in the list that I'm sure most can knock off in a couple days. It took me a couple weeks, but at least it's something.

Oh and just in case I forget...
Funny thing is she had a blow out shortly after putting this shirt on.
