The Fair!

I know, I know. It's been a while. I apologize for leaving you all hanging. Let's just say that this has been one heck of a month. Now it's back to our regular programming. :-)

On Saturday, we took the boys to the fair and had a wonderful time! Our trip in pictures...

Look out fair, here we come!

We started off visiting the animals. Shawn is trying to pet the bunny rabbit. Well, maybe "pet" is not exactly the right word. Maybe "pull out the rabbit's fur" is a better description.

Jason and grandma looking at a guinea pig.


Forget about the rabbits! What is this paper here. I want that! (I swear he almost pulled the railing off of all the cages!)


Mommy, these things stink. Peee-you!

Jason is checking out the pigs.

Shawn: Awww...look at this little goat!

Jason: Goat? Who cares about a goat? Look at this big screw in the fence! (I am not sure if he ever saw the goat again once he found that stupid screw. Boys.)

Wow. This sheep has won awards!

Here we are looking at the horse. Smile everyone. Shawn isn't exactly sure of this whole horse thing.


Then the horse had the nerve to blow snot at us! Shawn was D.O.N.E. at that point! It was gross, I have to admit. It hit us in the face! Let's just say thank goodness for glasses. Ahem. (shudder)



Poor Shawn was very upset about the whole thing.

Look at this innocent face. Who me? Blow snot? Never!

Now for the petting zoo. Jason petting the llama.

And the pot bellied pig. (he was attached to my hip like glue, though!)

This goat got a little aggressive. See him on my leg.

I'm not sure about this, mommy! It's kind of fun, but...


Here he is petting another goat just before we left. It was too funny. He'd reach down to touch the goat, and then pull his hand back super fast. My mom tried to get a picture of him petting it, but he was too fast!

I'm done now!

Shawny's turn.

Now, to be fair, this was just after the whole horse incident, AND he had just watched a deer try to eat me. Well, he tried to eat my clothes. Still, I am sure that it was traumatic just the same.

Let's just say that Shawn wasn't "in" to the whole petting zoo idea.

Looking at some goats. This might be okay.


Um, nope. I don't think so! That deer is getting waaaaaay toooo close!


I don't like the goat either!

I love this picture of Shawny and his daddy. :-)

Can we go now? Please?

Thinking about petting the pig...

Definitely not wanting to pet the--what is this thing? Kangaroo? Wallaby? Well, he didn't want to pet whatever it was!

Before we left, we had to have the traditional fair mini donuts. They were a HUGE hit! They totally made up for the whole petting zoo fiasco according to Shawn. :-)

All in all, we had a great time. The boys were their amazing selves as usual (even though both of them had off and on fevers for a few days). We can't wait to go back next year!

(Mostly) Wordless Wednesday - Beyonce

Man! This video is so riveting! It never gets old. That's why we keep saying "again" each time it ends.

I know! The choreography is amazing, too. I think the director was on to something with the whole black and white thing.

Good point. Let's watch it again! "...uh, uh, oooohhhhh"

Ahhhhh

I love...

Peace

and

Quiet

...on days like these. :-)

Not My Child Monday

My child does not have the nerve to bite me on the neck again and then scream when I yelp (maybe too loudly) from the pain. Oh no!

It would be preposterous that I would have to console said crying child while silently cursing from the agony of the bite that didn't happen, right?

Right.

That's what I thought.

Good thing Jason my child who shall remain nameless could never do that. Humph.

But my neck sure is sore for some reason...

Jason in the car this afternoon. It cracks me up! The best part is his head shake when Elvis starts singing! :-)

Mmmmmm......

.....Fun Dip...

...is yummy!

Things We've Learned So Far This Summer...

...headbutting is the new hug.

...whatever my brother has is ALWAYS better than what I have--even if it is the EXACT same thing.

...my brother needs to be near me at all times, but good grief he better not touch me! (unless we are headbutting each other, then it is okay)

...ripping paper is hil-ar-ious.

...books are fun--to read and to eat.

...I want to be in mommy's arms when I see that my brother is already there, and NO! holding us both will not do!

...food is fun to throw and looks better on the ground.

...the meanest thing I can do is pull on my brother's glasses, so I do that often. Heh. Heh.

...pulling on my brother's glasses will eventually break them, which happened last week. (but the new frames are purtee)

...being on the grass is really not so bad. Mostly.

...french fries are yummy, but they make you throw up.

...Jeez, those cats are quick!

...food off of mommy's plate always tastes better than food on our trays--even if it is the EXACT same thing.

...we often like the box more than the something that comes in it.

..."no, no, no!" is our signal to mommy to hurry up and see what we are doing!

...is doesn't matter how clean the floor is, we'll still get dirty after 2 seconds.

...the best place to be is on the other side of the kiddie gates.

...Beyonce's "Single Ladies" is one catchy tune. Just ask Jason, and he'll sing "oh, oh, oh.." for you. (I'll try to catch this on video for you. It is funny.)
