Birthday week.

First, I would like to show you all the handy work of Tony.
He 'practiced' sleeping in it. I guess he was just too excited to wait ten more mins for bedtime. At one point in the video, you hear him make snoring noises. "huuuh shooo huh shooo"


AND we went to the state fair this week!! I love love love this stuff. The weird attractions, the funny pig races and all the worst food for you that you can eat. Here is a giant turkey leg.
And sharing an icee.
But as we expected, the favorite was the livestock. Elijah looves the animals. He ran from stall to stall like each time he was just discovering that there were goats there! or pigs! it was pretty funny.


or cows! I never realized how enormous and .... really big cows are.
We saw some pretty hefty pigs lining up for judging. At one point, I think elijah almost got herded into the judging barn. Look how delicious that looks.


When we saw the train go by, Elijah lost it. He ran after the train going, "CHOO CHOOOO! Chain! chain! (train) CHOO CHOOO" and he chased it for a good while. A little later, he got to actually ride it
And evie loves to look at herself, as do the rest of us. Ignore the creeper in the background.
Before returning this hat to our friend Will, Elijah felt it necessary to model it for a bit. He actually put it on himself and wore it around.

Another final birthday thing, Thank you everyone for the birthday cards a gifts! Its so fun checking the mail around birthday time and getting surprises. And thank you Kutters for the race car and book!! Elijah loves loves it. He picks it up and says "Shhk shhk" (shake shake) and watches it zoom around.
