Fair Fun!

You may be wondering how come I didn't post last week. That's because we literally were not home much except to sleep in our beds. The fair was in town last week and some or all of us were there almost every day! Our church has a tent there where we hand out balloons, glow sticks and church info to people and Mark is sort of in charge of it so we feel like "carnies" when the fair comes to town. A huge thanks to Mom and Dad and all the other LBC volunteers who spent many hours there, too! It is alot of fun and my kids love it! There's no telling how much money we spent on taffy, fried oreos, sweet tea, lemon shake-ups and king taters! We will not be stepping on any scales this week that's for sure! Don't want to see those numbers!

We had a great weekend with Kip, Gina, Ellie and Macie coming home for a visit to the fair! Sunday we woke up to 56 mph winds and rain as Hurricane Ike passed through--that was weird! Power was out all over including the church so it was cancelled for the day. We had a fun, lazy day with family then spent the evening pulling out boy toys to sell in our children's consignment sale coming up next week. We are trying to make room for all the girl stuff now! The problem is the toys have too many memories and nobody wants to sell anything so our playroom still looks about the same as when we started. Everybody's gone to school today tho so I'm going down to box it all up and they'll never know it's missing! Mean mama!

Speaking of mamas...if you haven't seen the movie "Baby Mama" yet, go rent it right now. It is hilarious! We even watched it twice this weekend and I hardly ever watch a movie more than once! I'm off to the playroom now--wish me luck!
