I have not been able to upload pictures from the fair last weekend. Whenever I have tried, the computer freezes up.
SOmething to deal with tomorrow.
Not at 10 o'clock at night.
Here are some photos not blogged yet:
We went to the Bristol Renaissance Fair. (waiting for the joust in picture above)
It was magical.
And then it got hot.
And the kids were tired (we did the
outdoor movie the night before)
so then they were hot and tired.
We did not get to explore as much as we hoped, but most of it was PG-13 rated anyway.
Such as this guy below.
You pay to throw tomatoes at him while he insults you.
I was so embarrassed for the people playing because of his creative jabs.
All were offensive.
Most were inappropriate. Funny, but inappropriate.
Definitely PG-13.
We came across it while sitting on a hill for the joust.
Things were so "colorful" I questioned if we should move so the kids could not overhear it.
We have been out catching fireflies.
Chris has been between projects at work recently.
He is being "loaned out" to a company his firm represents and until that started, he wasn't taking on any big projects. So we had a lag time from when things wrapped up at the firm until things started at the company. We cherished so many nights with him home. Catching fireflies. Watching movies. Going for walks. It was heavenly.
Other updates: Reading Challenge guess what I found out. If your child can't read on his own yet, and you do a reading challenge for him to read 100 books- that means you have to stop and sit down and read those 100 books to him. Not just that, but you actually have to remember to mark them on the chart. Otherwise, it's pointless! So we are reading lots of books, but you sure couldn't tell from our chart! That's okay, I guess. It did it's job by raising awareness and reminding us we need to get our books in during the daytime so we can read chapter books at night.
Andy peeing the bed at night. No change there either. After those two weeks of nonsense and constantly changing the sheets I just bought pull ups. Who cares if he had been night time potty trained for 6 months beforehand. He's stinkin' two years old. He's got some time for a little regression.
This guy had a birthday
so did this guy
I stayed up all night making decorations and baking cupcakes, cake balls, cookie cake... but I have nothing to show for it. We had just decided to do a party 24 hours earlier. I called his friends and threw this thing together ... well... overnight. I was so fried by the time the party arrived it was all I could do to host the party, I did not take a single picture of decorations (sorry Bri!) I did, however, get a picture of the door, as that got left up for weeks (out of sight, out of mind. I kept forgetting it was on there!) Inspiration found
here. I had planned for mine to be two-toned as well. But I was too dang tired by this point.
Ideas for your next Lego party:
Plates like these (but I did all different mini fig faces) Cake pops and cupcake toppers idea inspiration gift boxes (I also really liked her idea to order minifigs to look just like each guest- again, something that needs to be done more than 24 hrs in advance ;)
cute ideas I didn't use:
