Tooth update

Or is it teeth update?

C has lost his 2nd tooth. Bottom middle 2. And you can see the adult tooth very much coming through. He says he has another on top that's getting ready to come out. We shall see.

Note to self: must pay the boy for the second tooth.

Indiana State Fair 2010

This year at the state fair was "the year of the big." At least that's my version. The technical version was "the year of the pig." There was a huge (25 feet) sculpture of the famous "American Gothic" by Grant Wood. I thought this was pretty awesome. This year we bought $15 unlimited ride wrist bands for the kids. Best $30 we spent at the fair. They totally got their money's worth. This was their favorite "ride." It's actually just a giant slide. I couldn't even begin to count how many times--in a row--they did that thing.

The "bee ride."

This was an "Indiana Jones" obstacle course. The first time through, K got scared and we thought we were going to have to go after her. But big brother C came through and helped her out. Sometimes................

C was more than willing to sit with this bear and pretend he was scared. K was not so willing. So Daddy sat with her. He's scared; she's sucking her thumb. (at least Daddy wasn't sucking his thumb)

This was a huge sand castle. Again--the year of "the big."

This entire thing was made of cheese! That's a lot of cheese. K would have been in heaven.

The kids loved these horses! C's horse actually "cried" (aka: whinnied) when C left. So cute. But I'll take a dog; thank you very much. Not a horse.
Isn't Ham cute? All made out of cans. Oh the patience of the people who made this!

A huge! pumpkin carved to match the "Gothic" people.

The over sized cow and container of ice cream.

Not sure why C wanted to take his glasses off. And I love how K's face is all scrunched up.

Playing in the rain

One day this summer, it started raining while the kids were outside playing. Since it wasn't a thunder/lightning rain, I told them they could stay outside and play in the rain. At first they looked at me like I was crazy. But then they got the hang of it pretty quick. And they had a blast.

Kids at work?

Back in August, Daddy's work had a "bring your kid to work" day. C was the only one old enough to go. Daddy was asked by his work to take pictures so I was able to get some good pictures of my kiddies. Pays to know the photographer.

I'm not sure what all they did--cuz I wasn't there. I know they took a tour, did some experiments, looked in a microscope, looked at the germs on their hands, and ate lunch. C had so much fun. He didn't want to come home. K is already looking forward to when she is old enough to go.

Fall soccer season 2010

C's soccer season has ended. It's hard to believe it's over. It seems like it went really fast. He played 10 games. But poor guy (team), they didn't win any. Well if you ask him, he says he tied some, but I don't remember that. Either way, I can safely say that he didn't win any. He played so well though! He made many goals. After the first practice, his coach asked Daddy "He says he's never played. That's not true is it?" The only playing he ever did was with Daddy in the backyard. It was so much fun to watch him. At the last game, the coach (very unceremoniously) handed out medals.

Next year, Daddy will be taking C's "professional pictures" I think this is an awesome picture and it didn't cost me $40!

This is the coach and the coach's son.

C's next to last game (last Saturday morning) it POURED! We haven't had rain in over 2 1/2 months and it decides to rain during his game. Two weeks before it had sprinkled overnight and they cancelled his game. But this--this they made them play in.

Doesn't he just look cold and wet and miserable? Poor guy. K and I sat in the car. Daddy was under the umbrella. C played all 4 quarters. When he got to the car, I wrapped him up in a blanket. He got home and took a hot shower and then ate a hot meal and drank some hot cocoa. Thankfully he didn't get sick.

Daddy took most of C's soccer pictures with our new camera. We had over 150 pictures to look through. They were all so good and I could have posted so many more. But I've spared you. You're welcome.
