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

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
