Can Life Get Better Than This?: The South Plains Fair

The South Plains Fair

We went to the fair! We ate corn dogs, cotton candy, caramel apples, roasted corn on the cob, and huge baked potatoes.

We walked through the petting zoo, but my kids refused to touch any animals (typical, to my germophobe, flu-fearing relief).

No trip to the fair would be complete without a trip around the carousel. Ellen wanted to go with Daddy. Jack Jack cried when he thought we were going to make him go. He was adamantly opposed to brightly colored moving ponies. I asked him several times if he was sure, and did he want to go on the carousel? NOOOO!

Ellen loved it.

She had a body guard.

Quote of the day

5/23/14 We were putting away winter clothes and looking at clothes some friends had given Rose, and I told her when she grew out of her clothes, we could give them to someone else to wear. To which she responded, "Oh, I will miss all my beautiful clothes so much!"

5/22/14 Rose: "Clothes are so important." I am relieved that this message seems to have finally gotten through to my child who started out life believing most events were clothes-optional, including playing at the park.

5/16/14 Rose randomly asked me, "Mom, why don't you sing your prayers?" Hmmmm...

5/9/14 After a pretty intense discussion about why we don't pinch the new friend we just met at the park, Rose yells at me, "Why didn't you just yell choose the right so I would remember?" Is that all it takes?

8/7/13 Elijah took off his shorts while he was supposed to be napping. I told him we needed to put them back on, and he told me "No! I don't need pants! I'm nakey-nakey." Ha.

7/14/12 Rose asked for a piece of toast, which I made her. Then she cried and said, "No, Mommy! Make me a new toast that's not toasted!" Ellen and Jack thought it was hilarious to inform their sister that it's called "bread."
