WEEK IN REVIEW

We have yet again survived a weekend full of picnics! Whew. This weekend is actually the first time we have nothing scheduled to do. Do you think we will be bored? Naaa... The Canfield Fair was a lot of fun this year for the girls. My dental school friends (Matt and Jody) brought their 2 girls (Katie and Lizzie) to go to the Fair together. Meredith surprisingly got more brave with the animals b/c the other girls weren't afraid! She even walked by one within inches of a tiny pony and didn't even hold my hand. WOW!! I was totally expecting a scene. The girls liked doing the ever so well constructed rides. We even watched them hammering the frame before putting them on the dragon coaster. HA! Meredith had frightened face the whole time on that ride! When she got off of it she said, "ME DON'T LIKE THAT DRAGON!!!".

In front of the milking stations, the girls decided to milk the fake cow out front during another kids photo opportunity! They wouldn't get their hands off those udders. So, I took advantage and snapped a shot myself! This Wednesday was Madeline's first day of 4 year old preschool. We actually had to wake her up to get her going. Everyone was excited to get started with this school year especially Madeline. When we picked her up, we tried to ask her all about it. She would only give us the bare bones of details. As she talked to more and more people, we also learned something :) Meredith was mad that she couldn't stay and play with the other kids. Finally, this is the first time that I get to take Madeline back and forth from school every Friday. Also, this is the first time in forever that I was actually dressed before 8am. HAHA

Madeline went down the slides by herself. So proud,but so serious. Matt took Meredith down the slide , however, he was like a bullet going down it. He nearly took out the people in front of him including Madeline. Dang guy got in my way of capturing this funny moment!
