The Fair just isn't Fair

Last night we went to the Fair. We had actually tried to go Saturday, but the weather looked like it as going to be really bad, so I talked Hads out of going. There was something about being in the middle of the midway with Hadley and Ellison and the bottom falling out that just wasn't appealing to me. Wayne gave me a pretty hard time, but the truth is he was helping convince her too!! So we went to the Fair. The curly haired Diva got to ride lots of overpriced rides, she got to work with a blacksmith and make a horseshoe necklace, we looked at the animals and then as we were leaving, she decided the evening couldn't end on a good note. She had seen some ponies that she wanted to ride. You know the ones that walk in a circle for about 5 laps and then you are done. We weren't sure if the ride would be included with the pass we had already purchased for her or it would be additional, so we agreed to walk over and take a look. As we expected it was not included and it would cost $5. She was not happy when her Daddy informed her that there was no way he was paying $5 to make 5 laps on a horse, when she had to perfectly capable horses in the back yard that she was not the least bit interested in. You are correct, if you guessed that his line of logical thinking meant nothing to her and we were met with the SULK. As we walked out to the car, she informed me that she was upset and would not be speaking to any of us the entire ride home. Ummm yes, punish me please, please don't talk to me the whole ride home. I'm sure it won't come as a shock that her refusal to speak, lasted a whole 5 minutes and we were again witness to her spectacular DIVA tude. It's so sad the Fair just isn't Fair.

Uprooted

Mother Nature is a crazy thing. Last night we had a wee bit of rain and apparently a huge wind gust that came through just right and our neighbor lost one of his hundreds of years old oak trees. It is the same oak tree that the horses love to rest under, thankfully they weren't in his pasture when it feel. I have never seen a tree up close that has been uprooted this way and am amazed, add to that it has been very dry here and I just don't understand. It is really kind of sad. I took Hads out to take her picture next to the tree and explore something you don't see every day and ultimately Wayne had to come out and coax her up on it. She is such a unique little thing. Things that should scare her don't and things that shouldn't do...

Moments

The other night the girls disappeared. Not sure what was going on, I tiptoe around the corner and Hads has pulled down the blocks and is entertaining her sister. I love these moments.

You have the right to remain...

...envious of my cute legs. I wear the rolls good.

Lately when Ms. Els get fussy I have started opening the back door. She loves pulling herself up on the glass and looking outside. It works even better when she sees Wayne outside, she will start beating on the door, babbling for him

Labor-less

We had a Labor-less day with friends at the pool.

Life is good today.
