07/29/2004 Archived Entry: "Fair recap"

We had a good time at the Fair on Tuesday. We stayed about 6 hours total. Tabitha went on 6 rides and played two games (and won!). We ate good stuff and shopped for awhile plus looked at all the exhibits. I think Tabitha's favorite exhibits was the collections and also all the farm stuff as she loves looking at anything growing. They also had a pretty nice kids area set-up where she did some crafts. I just liked being there and soaking it all in. I loved fairs as a kid when my parents or just my dad would take me and I still love going now. This wasn't our county's fair, so we still have the big one next month and I am so looking forward to it :)

Yesterday, Tabitha and I made chocolate chip cookies because our baking has really dropped off significantly. The heat has something to do with it, I'm sure. We also made labels for Tabitha's spice containers; read- empty film cannisters in her play kitchen. She told me what she wanted them to say and I printed them on the computer and then used my Xyron sticker maker to add the adhesive. She actually had me print a label that says "Everything Nice" as in Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice, lol. After Chris got home (and went out and came back from buying tonight's concert tix) we went to a Comic Book and Sports Memorabilia show. It goes on twice a week and they sell a lot more than comics and sports stuff and it's fun to go every now and then. We ended up with some children's books, including an old Cabbage Patch Kid book that I really think I had as a kid, and also we found a Disney Die Cast car that we had been looking for. It's fun to seek out the good finds.

Today, Tabitha's friend came over to play. They girls had fun while my friend and I got some talking in. After they left, I fed Tabitha and am now trying to convince her she needs to nap because of the concert tonight, but she's not thrilled with that idea. Chris is in there now trying to talk to her because I'm more authoritarian and just tell her to "do it." He's much more easygoing than me and this situation calls for it. I really hope she naps, because otherwise, she's just going to fall asleep at the concert and we're all going to end up carrying her and I really can't carry her because it makes the baby incubator hurt.
