Let Sleeping Children Lie..

If children are fascinating.. mine are fascinating and slightly weird. If you read my blog, you know I have proof.

Like this:

Here we have #5, Sookie, and #2. It does a mother good to see her children get along.

Awe.. they really love each other… or maybe they are pretending.

Either way.. I know the cat likes them both 🙂

Libraries are for Reading the Paper right?

The “older” kids had a pool party to go to this evening, so #5 and I went to the library. As we were headed into the library he said: “We need to get on a plane and go see Obama.” I asked why, all the while thinking I wonder what his father has told him now…#5 said “I want to talk to him about Spiderman we need his help.”

Is that sweet?

#5 playing games at the library.

He wouldn’t looked at me.. I begged him too.. but he couldn’t take his eyes off PBS Kids.

..cherry lime-aids make life better.

#5 and some old lady..

He got a little bored with the computer and chose to read the paper.

He’s only 4…. but enjoys a good newspaper.

I’m just not sure what he’s doing here… but he always looks so cute doing it..

Fair Food can Make You Chubby, but it Sure Tastes Good

I had plans yesterday to talk about my experience with Fair Food… but after #5 took several years off of my life by disappearing in the middle of the fairgrounds.. I couldn’t do anything but hold him all night.

So now that I am better.. I want to take this opportunity to talk to you about the food you get at the fair..

I don’t know what this is called… I believe it was refered to as “popcorn” But I’ve never had popcorn like this before. It was given to me my by my friend.. who is about 1/4 of an inch taller than me.. and is entering in the 3rd grade. (that’s his steel toed boot in the photo). I believe he won a purple ribbon for this concoction. It has Giant Rice Krispie’s, popcorn, tiny M&M’s, white chocolate and peanut butter. It was delicious.

(Note to self.. when this kid enters 6th grade he will need to bring this in order to enter in the youth room)

Yes.. these cucumbers were really this bright green.

Peppers or Squash anyone?

Some would say this isn’t fair food.. but it could be one day.. do you see #5 and the man in the background? I wonder what they are talking about?

This is the whole reason I go to the fair.. Giant Corn Dogs.. oh and to see #4 happy.

#5 holding up his giant corn dog.. see the fries on the napkin? They were scarfed down before I could take a photo.

ooo-ooH.. I love a good funnel cake too.

4-Wheelers in the land of The Man

Last weekend a couple of my friends came over to my house on their 4-wheelers. You probably know this.. but I am not a 4-wheeler kind of girl. That didn’t stop my kids from having a good time riding them.. and me having a good time watching them.

#4 Looking so excited to go on his first 4-Wheeler ride.

He is loving this!

No.. #4 wasn’t on there this time..

This was my photo of the day… Bryan and his sweet sister riding a wheelie.

Here’s #2 riding.. see that tree in the background? I love that tree.. it reminds me of something on the African plains..

#2 is pretty happy with this 4-wheeler too.

Here’s #4 & #5 on their “4-wheelers” cute huh?

#5 would not ride on the 4-wheeler with Bryan. But he kept telling them how much faster

his was than theirs..

Here’s #2 riding #4’s out to show them who’s boss.

Here’s #2 poppin’ a wheelie (with the help of Josh)

Here’s #3 getting ready to take a ride with Bryan.

She looks a little nervous, but I think she had a good time.

I asked #4 to show me the look The Man would give if he knew he was riding a 4-wheeler

This is sort of it..
