The Fair 2008: Livestock

I thought long and hard about how to present my fair posts to you this year. (Since I know you're all waiting on pins and needles to hear about it...) But don't you worry - I think I've come up with a solution. Today? You get....drum roll please.... livestock. I thought I'd kick things off with the most exciting part of the fair first...

Before I do that though - can I just say that today was the hottest day ever!! Now, temperature-wise it really wasn't the hottest day ever - that just mighta been the day of Steele's first birthday party - it was seriously like 100 degrees or something that day. But today was hot. As I was sitting at the Washington Child Identification booth - trying not to dwell too much on what I was doing - I literally had buckets of sweat dripping down my face. I sat there the whole time thinking to myself, "What am I doing here? I live freakin' 2 blocks away and I am still here!! In this miserable heat! I should just go home.. and I'm not!!" I did eventually go home though. And then I went back.

Anyway... on to the livestock.

Here's us in the poultry barn just after I put my name on the list to buy chickens. Don't I look happy?



Alright. Time out. Sorry to give you a teaser but it is SOOO stinkin' hot in this house. I have a whole slough of pictures to show you but I just cannot bear to sit here with this warm computer on my lap any longer. I'd love to tell you that I'll be back tomorrow but I think they're saying it might be even hotter. Maybe Sunday? Do you think it would be bad if I blogged while on church nursery duty? Hm. Maybe not such a good idea. Don't worry though - I won't leave you hanging for too long.

Please send cold wishes my way.

Cutzi, I am also praying for cooler weather...Getting ice from the freezer has never been so enjoyable. It's the only cool place in the house. Not only is it hottttt and muggy but we had a two hour thunder and lightning storm directly over our heads between 2am and 4am last night complete with a screaming child. I tried to tell him about how we can be excited and not afraid when we hear those loud sounds because it is our God who makes them. But he wasn't so excited. He, our loudest child, was screaming. At 3am. Maybe I'm not such a good explainer at the 3 in the morning.
