grandparents

Friday night we went to the fair. We have many fairs around my area each summer, but this one is a small town, 4 H type.  Friday night was the tractor pulls and I always humor the men folk and go and enjoy.  This year I actually didn't have to act!  When Jacob was 1 he stood at the fence and screamed his little head off at the tractors...this began his love affair with all things motorized!  That summer started our tradition of going to the fair with Jeremy & the boys. We had an enjoyable evening.  The kids road some rides, ate some fair food and watched a bit of the tractor pulls.  I am just upset I didn't bring my camera!   Every year I look forward to the homemade blueberry pie, those old grandmas didn't let me down this year...yum!

I managed to get my overly crabby hubby to the camper on Saturday.  First we had to have a 'talk', which usually starts out as yelling then, we calming talk.  He got me to admit that I am having a hard time letting my daughter grow up.  She is my baby after all.  This is why I am NOT in a big hurry to have her get a job or drive.  I think he is on to something.  I'll be ok though, I think it's perfectly normal to be sad when your kids grow up, I am happy in some respects, but the last one is hard, not having children around all the time seems unnatural to me.  Unless somebody leaves a kid on my doorstep, which is possible.  All night on Friday Jacob kept asking to go to my house, or my camper!

We had asked to keep the boys on Saturday night at the trailer, but ended up watching them at their house until midnight.  Some of their friends wanted them to come to a birthday party and since Tracey hadn't been out since Dayton's birth we agreed.

Jacob wasn't feeling well, Dayton woke up I fed him, and he screamed for an hour and a half, so here I was juggling a screaming infant, and 'directing' my husband on where to find stuff to make dinner for the boys.  Whew!  We all lived through it though.

Yesterday was a lazy day at the campground.  The Club is very small withonly 20 or so campers spread out among the campground.  We decided to stay last night and we were all alone.  Weird though because you hear every little noise.  Right before we turned in 3 deer walked through only pricking their eyes up to watch me watch them.  The moon was nearly full and we had  a great campfire. 

I feel my blood pressure going back to normal...ah...bring on the week!

And yes this kid is a stinker!
