How many shirts do you have hanging in your closets??



Last week I dug out all of the kid's old clothes to go through them, and to find some fall clothes for Sier....well, now he has 63 shirts that fit him!!! I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I thought it was kinda funny. Kip is a little sad, because he only has 42 shirts hanging in his closet. Now before you all start thinking that I'm a clothes whore, those numbers are including tank tops, t-shirts, long sleeves, sweaters, sweatshirts, and church shirts...so a lot of them will be out of there closets in a few weeks when the weather turns cold. The really sad thing is that when kip was wearing those clothes it was right after he turned 2...Sier is 3 1/2! What a little guy.

Just thought I would share this all with you, I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I think it's funny! (and a little pathetic) So, how many shirts do you have hanging in your closets???

State Fair


Jera and I decided to take the kids to the State Fair on opening day because tickets were only 2 dollars for adults on opening day, and the kids were free!! There's nothing like cheap entertainment! The kids loved looking at the animals, and they did so good walking around all day. They did a hands on exhibit where they were farmers... it was really fun for them. They had to feed cows, then milk the cows; They got to plant seeds and harvest them; comb a sheep; pick up the hay; gather the eggs; take their produce to market; and at the end they got to buy a treat with the money they made taking their produce to the market. They had a lot of fun! We also got to see a 14 foot alligator, tigers, a huge robot, clowns, and a lot of other cool things. We let them go on one carnival ride- it was 3 dollars a kid! Good thing I only have 2 kids!! We were there for a bout four hours, and by the time we were done the kids were tired, and mad at us because we forgot were we parked! So here's Jera and I walking around Rose Park with 6 tired, grumpy kids! Kip and Makade were so mad at us, and Makade knew the whole time we were going the wrong way, maybe parents don't always know best!
