Aren’t these two little darlings??? Hope is three and baby sister is 2 months old.???? Hope was very fun to interact with.?? She is a little talker like me so we hit it off wonderfully.?? I love the picture of Gracie’s kissy lips.?? She has such pretty little features.?? Going to be a beauty like her sister no doubt.?? These two munchkins are daughers of a long time friend of mine who I get to see too often so this little mini shoot wasn’t nearly long enough for a catch up.?? We’ll have to remedy that soon.?? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

*****************************<\/p>\n

Friday was family FAIR NIGHT – and it was so fun (as usual).?? I know I say this every year but I LOVE THE FAIR!?? What is it with all you people who hate the fair??? I don’t get it!?? It’s not any dirtier than any other place with a lot of people and I have never had or witnessed any type of people issues.?? In fact, I rarely even see anyone intoxicated (of course we usually leave by about 11:00 so maybe we miss that crowd?).?? Jodi carried a bottle of purel in her stroller (naturally) – so we were all set.<\/p>\n

Fair Highlights:<\/p>\n

1.?? Jodi and I dream about what we will eat at the fair.?? We talk about it weeks in advance.?? Just call me “Templeton” :).?? I go to eat.?? This trip I ate half a honey and sugar fried bread, half a taco fried bread, a green chili burritto (mmmmmm!) and shared some zuchinni sticks with Darin.?? The hot chai was simply scrumptious but I can’t drink chai after noon or I will stay up until 4:00 AM.?? Can’t believe I missed dessert.?? I usually have a chocolate covered frozen bannana or ice cream on a stick but the zuchinni pushed me to the limit.?? I did have a bite of a deep fried twinkie.???? Could live without that.<\/p>\n

2.?? Jodi and I rode a crazy fun ride of which I have forgotten the name.?? Darin, Jim and Aimee all get motion sickness so usually Jodi and I team up for the spinning stuff.?? You should see us at Disney on the teacups.?? :)?? At first I thought it was good old fashioned fun and was enjoying my light hearted screaming.?? When I was upside down spinning back and forth on the pendelum, I was so scared I couldn’t even open my eyes and Jodi and I both went silent.?? I think we were both praying.?? LOL!?? Our kids thought we were really cool though.<\/p>\n

3.?? I love the commercial exhibits and this year took home 2 packages of the Sham WOW and a Smooth Legs kit.?? \ud83d\ude42 :)?? Jim was pleased that there were no mops for sale.?? I wasn’t.<\/p>\n

4.?? Spending time with my family.?? Doesn’t get better than that.?? When we go to Disney this winter it is going to be OUTRAGEOUSLY fun!?? I am getting so excited!<\/p>\n
