A day at the fair

I'm a bit behind here. I've been nesting like crazy these past number of weeks (err...months) and have been busy around the house getting things ready - organizing, cleaning out closets, sewing things, and scouring craigslist for last minute necessities and then painting and fixing them up. Between that and making/freezing meals, keeping up with schooling, and Dave still gone a ton, I crash at night.

Anyway, a little update on the fair. The girls and I made it on the day before it ended, a few weeks ago. It was so fun to go and see all the entries we had made and to find out the results. Everyone won ribbons and the girls could not be more thrilled. It's all about the colors to them. Never mind that it's only 6th place, it's a PINK RIBBON! And it didn't bother them that it was only an "honorable mention"....there was a ribbon on their artwork. I love that!

We enjoyed visiting the animals, seeing a few competitions and then ending our time with ice cream. This year the girls opted for ice cream over a horseback ride. I think that was Selah's sweet tooth influence!
