Weekend Fun

Had a great time at the fair yesterday! Brandon came down for the weekend, along with his roommate Brady. Kaitlin and Kaleb both took off work, and we all went to the fair. (Corby stayed home since we're going to the fair again this Thursday). Brandon and Kaitlin went to the concert - 3 Days Grace and Seether; while Kaleb, Brady and I wandered the fair watching people, rabbits, chickens, the petting zoo, etc. When the concert was over the kids rode a few rides - though it's way too expensive at $3-$5 per person per ride! I bought a family pack of 22 tickets for $20 and that was it for the rides!

Here are Kaleb & Kaitlin on the Tilt-A-Whirl:Here's a cute little bunny rabbit:
Here's a cute kangaroo from the petting zoo:

We also celebrated birthday's today at my older sister's apartment. We celebrated my nephew Nick's 31st birthday
and my sister Marilyn's 40-something birthday
Brandon was able to enjoy the birthday celebrations with us before he headed back to K-State this evening. DRIVE SAFELY SON! Kaleb and Kaitlin both had to work all day today, so they missed out on the celebration, including pizza and DQ ice cream cake!

We got the yard mowed this afternoon, enjoying the cooler weather. Corby says there is a cool front on the way. I hope so, as I am ready for fall!

It's almost time for the beginning of another work week. On Tuesday I will be helping out with our annual "Taking It to the Streets" campaign. We "hawk" newspapers at busy intersections around town raising money for United Way. I will be at 21st & Amidon, so come on by between 6:30 and 10 am on Tuesday. Yes, that means I have to get up REALLY early, and I am NOT an early bird! I have a feeling I'll crash mid-afternoon, so I plan on heading home around 3pm.

Current book: Power Play by Joseph Finder. I've read several of his books, and I really enjoy them.

Current music: Skillet - a Christian rock band. Brandon turned me on to them...

And the quote for today is: "Children are living jewels dropped unstained from heaven." -- Unknown

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
