the fair

ok...so life isn't all tragic and doom and gloom.

we have been to the state fair of texas twice now in two weeks. daddy and i went all alone on friday, and then the next thursday we took the kids (even the boy) with us in the evening. we had a really good time. and both of the kids were sooooo much better behaved than i could have guessed. it was a great evening, with the execption of the boy's fit about getting his own corny dog (which , really, i can understand...just not afford!)

and yes....we tried some of the new and exciting fair food. we had the standard corny dogs, pizza, lemonade and fried pickles. BUT we also tried the fried grilled cheese sandwhich (it was so good), a fried praline (husband loved it), and waffle balls (strawberries, dipped in chocolate, coated in funnel cake batter and fried, served covered in powedered sugar...on a stick) and they were wonderful. we stayed away from the chicken-fried bacon....but we heard from some who loved it. and others who hated it. certianly not worth five bucks or so to find out!

and yes, that is husband on a mini-nascar ride with the boy can't ride, and he hates to ride alone or with little mama! isn't he a great daddy!!!!
