Head in the clouds

That is how I felt today (well... really this whole week).  I dont know if it has to do with the weather change, the alignment of the planets (like my sister keeps saying), or if it is just my lack of sleep these days. Whatever it is I hope I find my way out of it soon. I have things to do.
Fall is in full swing here in the Pacific Northwest. I have lost count of the rainy days already. The rain is good (thats what I have to keep telling myself). The rain is helping our pumpkins grow. The hubby and little man are really excited about our home grown pumpkins. The hubby even picked up some massive pumpkin seeds at the fair. The seeds say that they grow 500 pound pumpkins. So we will see if we can grow massive pumpkins next year. This year we will just have to settle for our normal sized pumpkins.

Here is a picture from the fair. The little man does not look very happy, maybe he was trying to look tough with all his tattoos. See the massive pumpkin over his left shoulder. That's what our magic seeds are going produce.

Speaking of the fair, we had a great time. We went with some good friend of ours an the kids had a blast exploring, riding rides and just being kids. Next year the little lady will be able to explore the fair also. She spent most of her fair experience in arms. When ever we took a break I would try and find a patch of grass that she could explore.

We took a trip to Costco tonight and the little lady had her first cart ride. She made it about half way through the store before she found her way back into my arms. She was so cute sitting there next to her brother.

Hopefully the clouds will be lifted tomorrow because I got apples to pick and apple sauce to make.

Our trip to the fair

Last Friday our family took a trip to the fair. We got there about 10:30am, so that we could get in for free. That left more money for all of the over priced fair food.

Ever since they had started advertising for the fair the little man was fascinated by it. Every time we would drive by a billboard he would scream "my fair." So we counted down the days (even though he did not really know what to expect).
After walking around a while looking at animals it was time for some rides. I think that he liked the big slide the best.

He is still talking about it.
The spring fair will be here before we know it and we will be doing this all over again but this time with two kids.

Crashing and more crashing

The boys after all the fun.

On Saturday we took a family trip to the fair to see the demo derby. We bundled all up in our nice winter coats to go out into the crazy spring weather. While at the fair it was sunny, rainy, cloudy and there was even a few ice showers. But we had so much fun watching all the cars crash into each other.

My little man waiting for the cars to start crashing.

But all the waiting got to him and he needed to crash himself shortly after the show started.

When all the loud v6 cars came out he was up and ready for the action. The little man did really well with all the noise and the cold weather. Of course he had a little help from mom.

Who are those two old people in the back of the picture? They are Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the extra fun night and for the use of the camera.
