Fair Fun

The weather was beautiful last weekend and the fair was 'in town', so we headed north!  No doubt Jackson and Katherine enjoyed themselves!

Well, maybe Jackson didn't enjoy this one so much.

He's not much on heights.

Katherine was only upset because I wasn't riding with her.

Thanks for the fun, Grammy and Grandpa!

Skating and Such

It's obvious I'm working again.  Actually, I've been back to work a year this week and the blog has obviously suffered.  I only took 50 pictures the entire month of September.  I guess it changes also when both kids are in school all day and you can't go on outings to the zoo or museum and later share pictures.

We have been enjoying the drop in temperature lately.  Last month we had a few beautiful afternoons and it was just too pretty to make Jackson go inside to do homework.  Instead, they had a lawnmower chase.  Much more fun than spelling words or math.

Jackson went to a skating party for a friend today.  He did better than I thought and actually put on the skates!  He and his friend Ethan are in the same class again, which was great since they were both transferring to a new school.

This party was for a little girl and he didn't want to go since it was a girls' party.  On the way home, he told me we could add her to his birthday list for his next party.

I guess he thought her party was fun.  :)

He stayed close to the wall when he got on the rink!

 I was bummed the party was during the Ole Miss/AL game.  I actually listened to the game on the radio while we were driving over (that's a first) and thought for sure there would be a tv showing the game.  Nope.  Of course it was over by the time we got back home, but at least it had a happy ending.  Sorry, Grandpa.
