Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

oh my GOSH….

so when we went to the fair on sunday the kids had some money with them. we were getting ready to leave and OF COURSE this money was burning a hole in their pockets. right by the gate was a stand with people doing caricatures and it just happened that my kids had the exact amount needed to get this done. and they both SO wanted to do it. jade went first and then joey…i loved that they put it on one sheet so i can frame it and hang it. and i can SO see the kids in this drawing. that man did such an awesome job, love it!

for those of you participating in joes football contest on his blog…he has a little teaser question up if you want to check it out.

break time…out for now

monday…monday…

normally i would totally NOT be excited about monday but tonight is the fair parade…and that rocks! as bec says, i’m such a parade whore…i love them…can’t get enough of them! maybe it’s the years i spent marching in them…how proud i was to be on the rifle squad…and wear those knee-high white boots (with cleats)…LOVED it!!! so tonight we will be hanging out at the parade with bec and the kids, shell and jen keith.

last evening we went to the fair…holy shit did their prices go up!!! i dont know how anyone would afford to go more than once, geesh. the food prices are in-freakin-sane! here is an example~

* cheese steak – $7
* 1 slice pizza – $3
* hotdog – $2
* gyro – $9
* cotton candy – $5
* candy apple – $3.75

i told you…INSANE!!!!
i haven’t had any time this weekend to scrap…which makes me sad. hopefully tomorrow night i can get some time for me to make some happy scrappies.
out for now
