We have been helping at our church booth and my youngest daughters karate booth this week.  Needless to say I am so happy that the fair is over.  Yahoo! Monday wasn't to bad we only had to take some of their entries to the 4-H exhibit hall.  Then it was dollar day so I allowed the girls to ride 3 rides each.Wednesday we spent a little over 3 hours their. We had to work two different booths. We had to work my youngest karate booth and our church booth. Friday we spent from about 5 1/2 hours, this was kids day.  So my girls spent time with some of their friends and my husband and I spent time alone at the fair.  Kids day is the kids can ride all the rides they want for around $10 for a wrist band. My poor husband hadn't been to bed from the time he got off from work that morning so he was pretty tired.  By the time we got home that afternoon, we had a sandwich for us all and got a glass of milk and took a shower and we all were in bed before 9pm.  Hmmm something is wrong with this picture that rarely happens.  We had to be up early the next day (Saturday) to be back at the fair.  Our youngest was entering a karaoke contest so we had to be up their early to enter her into the contest and before the parade started so we could find a parking place.  We packed lunches that day because everything is so expensive.  More so then normal, a funnel cake one of my favorites $5 or more, most everything was from $4 or more for a single item, even drinks.  Way to expensive for me. We have been packing our own water bottles, sandwiches and anything else we may need.  So after the parade we had a few minutes before she had to be at the competition.  So we had our lunch and waited till the started.  I did buy one fair food item, curly potatoes $4 for a plate full, not to bad.  She got ready to compete and she was the first one called up to stage.  Their was only 2 kids that competed.  She won!  Yea, whoohoo!  Proud mom time.  Following the competition, we had to work at our church fair booth till we had to pick up the kids exhibits.  We won 2 first places, 1 second, and 2 third. We won 5-6 items that we entered.  Good deal! After we picked up their items my youngest who won the karaoke contest had 3 ride tickets to use up that they gave her as one of the prizes that all kids got.  So after that we went home.  Home Sweet Home!  When we came home we made a homemade pizza and watched a movie and went to bed.  We all were tired and ready to call it a night.  We also had to be up early today for church and had one more week of bus duty.  Today I had a pot roast cooking while we were at church and had mashed potatoes, corn and sliced tomatoes for lunch.

Have a blessed week!
