What a whirlwind!

The last seventeen days have flown by! 

Good intentions were made to blog it all.

That is all that they ended up being...

good intentions.

Remnants of a clown. 

Left in a balloon bouquet. 

And shoes by the door.

Toodles stayed with us for the week of the fair.

I must say though, I never passed her in the house after she

"checked in"

on Tuesday.

The week was that hectic.

Check her out

HERE!

She was a great asset to the fair!

The kids loved her!

More tables painted the week before the fair.  

There was one for me.

Pics of it tomorrow.

It is still loaded in the back of the truck.

Another penny rug finished right before the fair.

And...

The week before the fair,

I had the pleasure of spending the day at Idlewild with

Gracelyn, Garren and Kendall.

Here the girls are ready for the day.

Gracelyn held on to that map all day.

I think it was a Dora thing.

Kendall was ready to pull her older cousin through Storybook Forest.

Driving the train.

A sleepover with Gracelyn and Garren.

Papa and Gracelyn making smores.

And some pics from the fair.  

And a trip to the Clearfield Fair with the boys.

I think that the rest of those pics might be on my phone? 

It has been a very busy two weeks.

I will be glad to settle into the normal chaos of life!

Today starts the weekly Kendall visits,

Shelby is back to work and

Wednesday has Tyler going to first grade.

How is this possible?

Logan and Gracelyn will begin preschool shortly.

How quick they are growing up.

Synopsis of the Fair.

This was John's first year as a Fair Manager.

We both learned so much about the fair and how it runs.

We made new friends, met lots of people

and had many new experiences.

It was a pleasure to work with a group of such hard working people

who were focused on a goal

to make each year the best fair ever!

I loved every minute of it

and

the week went by way too fast!

and

I

am

TIRED!
