Fair Days of August


I can't believe Ian turned 11. The time has flown by! He wanted red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for his birthday. Yum! 
The kids begged me to let them enter the fair this year, I didn't want to because they moved our lovely little local fair from right down the street clear to Downey! Sheesh, talk about politics. But I said we would go for it. They were so glad we did, I couldn't believe all the ribbons they won.


 I didn't do too bad myself, these are two of Grandma Green's quilt tops that I hand quilted. The fair ladies couldn't believe everything was hand pieced!
 Eliza did fantastic, even had her pumpkin win grand prize. But she was fevered the last day and did not want a picture with all her ribbons.
 Ian graduated from cub scouts, I sure will miss him as one of my Webelos! He is sure excited for boy scouts.
The kids spent four hours one Saturday outside selling lemonade. I admire their persistence. And I love that it entertained Finn for so long!  He is sure going to miss them now that school has started.
