Friday Fast Five...Giveaway

1. This may quite possibly be my favorite picture from the entire fair. She looks so proud of her ribbon. The ladies who do the photography in the hog barn at our fair are amazing. They are great with kids and pigs alike!

2. I have noticed that we have very few pictures of the three of us together. I mean we have lots of the Hubs and Charlot, some with Charlot and I, and tons of just Charlot. But not so many of the three of us together. I don’t want my kid to grow up thinking we were never together. So this is my attempt to take more pictures of all of us together! Oh why thank you I am amazing at taking selfies, HA!

3. This may be the saddest picture from the fair. This was just shear seconds before my child realized we in fact were not taking Miss Minnie home with us that she had been bought and was being taken to a new home. This was just seconds before she ripped my heart out by asking “why does Minnie have to get a new home.” And this was just seconds before the Hubs said “because selling pigs at the fair is what we do.” Lastly seconds before Charlot said, “Ok I’ll just pick another one out at home.” By the way I was still in the corner crying while my kid was suddenly over it.

4. The last several days I have been in WAYYYY northern Iowa for meetings. Though the drive nearly killed me 7 hours, the climate was amazing. Considering it was the hottest week of the summer in Missouri and it was in the mid 70’s there. These are a few of the pictures from my trip, my co-worker may kill me for posting her picture. Plus we went to a Sioux Falls S.D. Canaries Minor League baseball game, it was a ton of fun. I had never been to a minor league game, I am feeling I will need to go check out the KC T-bones after having this experience.
