I love when my little crew settles down like this in the morning. They might be 4 small beings but let me tell you, I only rest my feet when my day is done! The first problem with this picture is the one big missing crew member. Apparently when Dad gets home from work and I go off to work, they like to do this as well. That would be problem #2. Lately we have been working on picking up our toys before bed and when we go back to mom's, and as you will tell by the pics below, it must have completely slipped their minds! :) Must be nice crew, must be nice. And I thought babies made messes, HA. I think Thumper actually enjoyed my half hour cleaning session, she thought it was chew toy land and could pick anyone she wanted! It's hard to make out this pic, but she's right in the middle of the mess. It's always fun chasing a puppy with a train in her mouth out of the room every 15 seconds!

I think it's time for me to cut back on working 5-6 nights a week to 2 again. :)

A little sunscreen and off we go!

I must say that I didn't think the annual summer fair would become a part of my life again for quite some time. I started feeling to old for it a few years ago when just WATCHING the rides go around and around started making me sick! But now that Braxton is 2, he is all about doing fun activities, so this past Sunday we headed down to the fair. It ended up being a great day, only 80 degrees, and the kiddie ride area was partially shaded. Of course after leaving the house with the many things it takes to even leave the house, I forgot the camera bag. So my lovely phone had to do the trick! Here are a few Fun House pictures, I went with them the first time and then stayed with the stroller on the next trips.

This ride was cracking me up! They won't let Braxton on a lot of rides until he is 36'' tall, but they will let Bj on all the kiddie rides...a 6'4''-5'' man! He could barely fit his knees in the car, or should I say caterpillar:)

Here are my Marines, another ride all the Fair daddy's were shoved into! Braxton was really excited to fly in this one! He had all the gadgets moving like a mad man.

And last but not least, it was time for a few games. The guys working these stations were so nice, they kept giving Braxton stuffed animals even though he couldn't quite understand or win the game!

Overall, it was nice outing for the day... and I was able to eat an elephant ear without caring! We did end up going right in the middle of our daily nap time, but occasional exceptions are becoming easier...even though that afternoon 3-4 hour nap can be very crucial somedays! I have a feeling this is another start to my yearly fair adventures. It's so fun to watch Braxton scream at the sight of a Ferris Wheel...makes me remember when I couldn't wait to go to the fair...or get my parents to give me enough money! Hope everyone is having a great summer too!
