The Fair

This week is the week of the fair at home-ish. It's actually in the next town over but I can claim it, right? Especially since we started going 5 years ago. Either way, the first night of the fair is sponsored by the hospital I work at so employees and family ride for free. 

Seriously, it's crazy. 

J loved the petting zoo.

My mom wants this guy.

 

And J felt the need to touch all of the goats. 

The best part about a fair? FAIR FOOD!!

Oh yeah. Steck fries covered in cheese, pulled pork and bar-b-que sauce. Heavenly.

Right before this picture, B said "I can't win this fight alone". 

And my little guy is developing so much personality. He now walks with his hands on his hips. 

Did I tell you he's moving up in classrooms next week for his birthday? That another sob story for another day. 

For now, I have to go deal with the pork, cheesy fries.

The View

Sometimes you need a view like this to reboot.

Beautiful.

Vacation

I can't be the only one who gets giddy with excitement when I know vacation days are coming up. I only have to work 2 more days and then I'm home free for a solid week! 

This is how J feels about it...

Well, we were actually practicing his smile again for school pictures. Unfortunately, B taught him how to wink and now when you ask for a smile, half of his face crinkles up. 

We've got a long way to go.

Smile Practice

J has school pictures in a week. When you ask him to smile, he blinks his eyes. I'm sure B taught him this but I haven't figured out how just yet. 

Yesterday, the little guy was sick so I decided to take a moment and practice his smile. I have found that asking him to show you his teeth works.

I may need to assist with pictures.

Retail Therapy

Where is Noah and his arc? It has seriously rained for 40 days and 40 nights. The pond in the front yard is so full that the water is spilling into the overflow pipe to keep from flooding out the yard. My main concern? The elephant ear bulbs that I planted this year are going to rot if it doesn't dry up soon. 

I felt so old walking up the driveway this morning, complaining about how my bulbs are going to rot. 

Either way, all of this rain has brought on some retail therapy. Why not, right? So we bought a new couch and chair. Sorry, 1/2 chair. 

Not a great picture but me and B are still fighting over his chair. I think it needs to be retired to the basement and he doesn't see thing my way. He'll come around.

Sleep

I wish I could sleep like they do...

Nap time gets a little intense around here.

He Loves Him

Does anyone else see the tiny kitty paw near B's armpit? 

They are so cute together. 

I could hear Kitty from across the room.

"Thanks for making me a dining room, safe out of view of the dog. And thank you for protecting me from the mini you that insists on grabbing me by the intestines. I will love you forever."

And for the record. This is the Kitty Cat Cafe...
