Texas State Fair

Another part of Goober's reward for getting two weeks worth of behavior stickers was going to the State Fair on our off day. We went for about 3.5 hours and by then we were all wore out and ready to come home. We took our own sandwiches but Ribbit and Goober shared a HUGE bag of cotton candy and Adam and I shared a large and wonderfully delicious funnel cake. Goob thought that all the rides looked scary so he didn't want to ride a single one....fine with us, they were stinkin $5 a piece!!!! The kids got to decorate a mini pumpkin inside a green house listening to a man who grows huge pumpkins. They also liked looking at all of the art stuff and large machines, tractors, etc. We told them that since they didn't want to ride any rides that they could both pick out a souvenir. This became our mission and finally right before we left they spotted a man who was selling marionettes. Ribbit picked out an elephant whom she lovinly named "L fant" and Goob got a dog who he has named "Gabriel Noah Jacob".
We came home and I got ready to go out to dinner and to the Holiday Fair with several ladies from our church.
This morning we got up at 6 and had a yardsale from 7-1, trying to get rid of everything we don't use. I hate hate hate to move things that I do not use. After that Goob and I took the rest of the kids clothes to a consignment shop and with the store credit we got there we got Ribbit a nice dress for J and Erika's upcoming wedding. We also got Goob a tie and we walked out paying nothing! Then we took the rest of the stuff to Goodwill!
We are slowly packing, taking stuff over daily after school...its so nice to be able to do that!!!
Here are some pictures from the State Fair and some videos of the kids with their puppets.

We immediately went to the car show and Goob spotted this race car.
