Lamest post ever!

Well, with Christina graduating this week and our Utah trip a mere week away, I haven't really been thinking about pics and blog posts. I am lame. I acknowledge this.

BUT once we're home, I know I'll have oodles and oodles of enough good stuff to keep the blog bouncing for weeks!

So for now, this lame post will have to do!

Tooda Loo!

And then there was LIGHT!

For Science, Dom has been working from a book all about Rockets. For today's project he used a battery, alligator clips, a paper clips to make a light bulb which will later be used on his Rocket he's building!

Dad's Visit!

My Dad spent 72hrs with us and I all got was this lousy picture of his foot!
Thankfully, Dad got better pictures!!

Oh well, I don't need pictures to remind me of what a wonderful time I had with him!
Now, we just need to get Mom out for the next trip!

Going Tennessee!

Diana has been asking for "fancy nails" for weeks, and I finally gave in!
She picked out her favorite set and I picked up some double sided tape. I didn't think to take a picture while she still had them all on, but here she is all the same!

Wow...we're getting a little too "Tennessee" even for my taste!

Up, Up, Up!

The one ride I always love at any fair is the Ferris Wheel!
I took Dom and Christina with me and the view was pretty amazing! (Well, the view that wasn't the parking lot anyway!)

Should I have been concerned that our bucket had duct tape and rust holding it together?? LOL

Random Rides @ the carnival!

Funnel Cakes!!

A sign like that deserves a post of its own!

I don't know what this guy put in his funnel cake, but OH MY GOSH, it was so good!

Diana @ the Carnival

This was Diana's first real time going to a carnival and she loved every minute!
While the older kids rode the big rides, Ed and I took Diana on the smaller rides and she had a blast!
She even won "Girl Nemo" at a fishing booth!

Anthony @ the Carnival

Well Crap.

Anthony got away from me on this outing.
He's a pro at avoiding the camera!
He tells me he had a grea time though!

Christina @ the Carnival

Christina. Poor, poor Christina.
No good deed goes unpunished.

Christina was so sweet to want to take Dominick on all the rides, but she didn't take into account the fact that what a 6yr old thinks is fun, may not be in any way related to what SHE thinks is fun, BUT being the stellar big sister she is, she did whatever Dom wanted. You can see from the progression of pictures that it didn't last too long! LOL After her 7th straight spinny ride, she had to go and lie down in the back of the Suburban!

Note her expression in this picture:

Brooke @ the Carnival

Brooke had a great time too! She ventured on some of the bigger rides (well, as big as they get at a fair of this size) and tried to win the rock climb challenge (SO CLOSE!!) and of course, she helped me wolf down one of the best Funnel cakes I've ever had.

Dom @ the Carnival

Christina was nice enough to offer herself up as Dom's "chaperone" of sorts. He knew I didn't want to try any of the "spinny" rides and she was more than willing!

Dom on his roller coaster ride, he was SO into it!

The Carnival!!

Last night Ed and I loaded the kids in the Suburban and headed to the mall.
No, not for shopping, but for the annual carnival!


If you any of you remember the Dade County fair, well, it's nothing like that. LOL
I'm convinced this is the smallest carnival/fair available. BUT being small only makes it that much more enjoyable! Being a Thursday, the crowd was pretty small and it was easy to keep an eye on everyone.

I took a bunch of pictures, so enjoy!
