FAIR...

Ok so here we are, the Monti fair passes us and we go into the Dubuque fair this week. Before I know it the boys will be back school... a month from today, YIKES!

We did a day at the fair in Monti on Sunday, it started off with the demo derby. Jer's brother Eric had a car in it. Lots of preparation to get that car ready but he did a nice job putting it together and well... wrecking it up :) the back was completely smashed in and done for. My boys were pretty proud watching their uncle out there, he did place in the final heat which was COOL! Way to go Eric!

After the demo, we got some good ol' fair food, and then got bracelets for the kids to go a few rides, the lines were terrible they said. Jer and I left the boys at the fair with his mom while we came home with Blade for awhile since the sun rays were hitting him pretty hard... and that was going to lead into a 'melt down'. About 4:30 we packed up and back to the fair we went... we got tickets for the boys and my neice and a friend to the concert "Drake Bell and Corbin Bleu with the opening act of Bianca Ryan". Completely interesting show, not my kind of thing but the kids LOVED it! so thats what was important to me.

However I did feel bad... Issac wanted to see Drake Bell terribly bad... and well some RUDE girls in front of us did not care about the people around them and STOOD the entire time... they were the only ones standing in the WHOLE section! I was pretty PO'd when I asked them to sit down kindly and another lady asked them to sit down...then my neice asked them nicely... its like they didn't even hear us, and then to top it off... the one girl stood talking on her phone to someone that was UP in the bleachers way behind us... not even watching the show... kept looking back. ARGH I was really upset!!! So then adventually Issac and his friend snuck out into the aisle to watch but you know how that is... still ruined for them, right?

The good thing of it all was my kids that were with me learned from that experience and RESPECT goes along way!

So that is the fair for us this year... we are taking the boys to the concert at the DBQ fair Saturday night, it will be a REAL concert... Buck Cherry, Hinder, and Papa Roach. The boys are SO looking forward to it as well as Jer and I. It should be a good time!!! Then Fair time is offically over for us this year! Thank GOD!!!

Things going well at house, finally got plumbing! YES Lis has a sink FINALLY! It is the thing I missed most!! So kitchen is complete with the exception of the electrical, hopefully Mr. Billy can come soon!!! Looks like Dustin will be working on the null post next, YEAH!!!! that will be a great thing done!

Jer is in Portland, OR. this week until Friday, yes LONG week! I helped Tammy out yesterday she is off to market until tomorrow. Doesn't look like the week will be hectic at all with the boys this week... just LOTS of catching up to do on the cleaning side :( does it ever end?

Best run, kids are yelling at each other.... BOYS will be BOYS!!!
