Aa and one big pig

It was quite the educational week! We officially started the school year for "Sunshine School." This week (I was the teacher) we learned about rules/laws and the difference between decisions and rules. They learned how to write a big and little Aa and a 1. It was a bit hard working E into the school day with the rest of the kids. He did much better the second day. Here are a few shots I got of our first day:




Last night we took the boys to the State Fair. It was pretty fun. They had a little area where young kids could be a farmer, feeding and milking a cow, planting and picking vegetables, combing and "shearing" sheep, gassing up and riding tractors, picking apples, gathering eggs and then selling it all to a market and getting paid. At the end there was a store where they got to buy a treat with their "money" they earned. It was pretty cute. The animals were fun, too. M's favorite was a really big pig he of course named "wilbur." We saw a lot of great displays, quilts, art, food, photos, and square dancers. We let the boys choose a ride and they rode a little train.






Of course the best part was the food. Hand cut curly fries, chicken, homemade ice cream, pronto pups, fry bread, and cherry lime-aid. Can't beat fair food!

Was it a real pronto pup or are you just messing with me?

It was a real Pronto Pup booth, but not what I'd call a great pup.

Maybe they'll have real pronto pups at Art in the Park for Ann. Was that a real pig? It was HUGE!

The hardest part about doing preschool last year for me was Jackson. Like you said, it's hard to know how to include them, and they want so desperately to be included. Glad you guys are well!

Good times at the fair, I was so bummed that we missed the Wisconsin state fair in August since we were in Utah and the Utah state fair because we were home again. Maybe next year. Bon Voyage on your disney world trip, sounds like fun!
