On Tuesday evening, we had school registration for Emma. She was super excited to bring all her stuff to school, sit in her desk, and talk to her teachers again. She is super excited to be a first grader and start school again. Elliott enjoyed running around and asking all kinds of questions.
On Wednesday, we spent the entire day at the Turner County Fair. The kids and I stayed at home in the morning, but after lunch we headed to the fair. We met up with Barb at the fair and got the kids some wristbands. The kids enjoyed rides for the next couple of hours, which were very hot and crowded. There were people everywhere, and the lines were all super long for the rides. But, the kids still had fun. Emma got to ride the swings for the first time ever, and loved them! Elliott enjoyed going on every ride he was big enough for, and did a really good job waiting in line.
After we were all hot, and tired of the crowds, we hit up the commercial buildings, saw some animals, and then ate some food. John met us in time for supper, bingo, and a little more walking around. All of John's family was in town for the fair, so we also got to visit with all kinds of family. It was really fun, but by 8:30pm, the kids and I were more than ready to go home and call it a day.
Thursday was finally back to daycare and work for everyone, and it was a little bit of a rude awakening. Jim picked the kids up from daycare after work, since John and I had a Sugarland Concert to attend. We made a date night out of it (Our 8th Anniversary was on Tuesday after all). We had a giftcard for Parker's Bistro and decided to try that out. The food and service was really good, but it was super overpriced and a little too fancy for us. We enjoyed it for what it was, but I don't think we will be back there anytime soon.
This weekend has been a little quieter for us. On Friday evening we headed to Chris and Jerrice's house to swim in the pool with the kids and have a pizza party with all of John's family. It was a last get-together before everyone headed out to go home again. It was a really fun evening and good way to send everyone off.
Saturday was a pretty lazy day. We stayed home all day, and I cleaned the house, John mowed, and the kids just had fun being home and playing with their toys. In the evening, I volunteered to help at the downtown Riverfest, which was pretty fun. There was live music, beautiful weather, and I just got to enjoy myself while providing wristbands for people who wanted to drink beer. There were a ton of people downtown, they say they usually get 18,000 people. They even had fireworks over the river at the end.
Today, we went to church and had donuts for Vicar Callies last day and now we are trying to force our tired, crabby kids to take some naps. They are wore out from our crazy week and they both need some rest. I think I better go help them nap :)
