School Carnival

(As I went to post this all today, I realized that I was rather sick of hearing Frank sing. Don't get me wrong, Frank sings beautifully, but if you've noticed, the playlist is at the VERY BOTTOM. I just need to update it. And as I'm feeling slightly nostalgic, I added some new ones. As I listened to them play, I got this ridiculous smile on my face and began to sway and snap my fingers. I know, lame. But it makes me feel good!)

This year's school carnival was so fun! Well, it really is fun every year. This time, however, we brought my sweet nephew Treven, who's Andon's age. (Yeah! The boys have cousin's their age!!)




Waiting to get tattoos. Zak kept calling it a sticker. Sticker, tattoo, whatever. As long as they don't get them when they're older. I suppose there could be worse things.



As Doug, the boys, grandma and I walked around we came across Teaghan and her friends. She's too good to hang out with us now. Finally!! Just kidding. Brittnee on the other hand we saw maybe once. I really had no idea where she was with her friends. I figured she was around somewhere. Don't you love my parenting skills?





This was seriously funny too watch! I think Kyla won this one.

Coleen, don't kill us, but he really did want to try climbing it. He asked, Doug said, "COOL!", and we were off.




Andon on the other hand, was not having any of it. He'd already been climbing a few weeks back and that was it for him.

Zakry has this thing for firemen now, so when he saw the truck he went-a runnin. Guess what he wants to be for halloween? If anyone knows of a cheap fire hat let me know cause I'm-a lookin.



Still trying to figure out how not to blur my camera. I had it on all the right settings and it still was weird. It can't be the operator. Really. It can't.




Doug got the boys some scrumptious looking doughnuts while they waited their turn for some time in the fire truck. It took a lot of self will to not cram an entire doughnut into my mouth. Normally I have no problem doing that, as long as its something fantastically decadent, but since we were in public I refrained.



You can't leave the carnival without snow cones, popcorn, and cotton candy. Well, Doug would rather have not let Zakry have cotton candy. Only because Zak's history with the stuff has been VERY STICKY. Which means that mom and dad get VERY STICKY. But what can one do when your baby is saying, "Peese mommy? Peeeeese?!" I swear, I'm a sucker. Plus, how often does one get to have cotton candy? You can't go to a carnival, amusement park, and not have cotton candy. Or funnel cakes. With lots of strawberries and whip cream. Oh my. That just sounds so good right now. Coleen, you're in charge of funnel cakes at christmas again.





I realize I've taken more pictures of my nephew, but that's because I don't get to take his picture as often as I'd like.
We had a great time and didn't spend nearly as much as we usually do. Me and Doug were feeling mighty proud of ourselves. Not to say that the money wouldn't have gone to a good cause, but past years we've spent money, and we spend a chunk at the church fundraisers for the youth, so this time we opted out and didn't spend so much at the carnival. I have to say that it was somewhat nice.

I'm throwing this one in here. Fortunately he's finally realized that he CANNOT do his business outside.
