The Last Few Days....

Washed and dried the most excellent SCORE! I brought back from Pearson. Julie's mom let me have some fabrics. Some are old feed sacks and the rest are just small pieces of fabric. I figured it could come in handy when wanting some subtle color in future newborn shots once people realize that we should take their pictures! **fingers crossed**

Took a few photos of the chairs we got to bring back too...they need serious sanding and repainting, but it will be a while before we are able to dedicate time to that. We're more than likely painting them in MonkeyBean colors...red, orange and aqua. No, not all on one chair. :) We've been wanting chairs for the porch for quite some time, but they are all so expensive. So we're super stoked that with just an afternoon of hard outdoor labor, we were able to procure these! I've seen people sale those metal chairs and they were wanting WAY too much for them! And you just can't find rocking chairs that look like that anymore, at least without having to give up a kidney.


New business cards arrived and they look super duper awesome! You'll notice a lot of the dogs and that is because there's a dog show coming up here in town...and what better way to try and obtain business from people who love their pets than to accost them with adorable photos of your own pets that YOU TOOK?! It's our newest advertising strategy and hopefully we'll get at least one photo shoot from it. Hey, worth a try!
Here's the whole new set:

Tuesday evening we went to the fair in Perry. Ate some "Greek" food and a funnel cake. Saw a really cool show by Vocal Trash, a group that uses trash for their instruments. They sounded really cool...I liked the sound coming from the empty water jugs and trash cans. Also listened to a couple of songs by Mustang Sally. We watched a hilarious hypnotist show. The people were doing some CRAZY stuff. Didn't ride any rides, but watched the OUT OF THEIR MINDS people ride them. The rides have gotten wilder and wilder and I just can't imagine how people's bodies can handle some of that stuff. EEK!




How I would feel if I had to ride those heinous swings:

What the fair would look like with impaired vision:

Greek Food NO where near as good as my favorite in Macon!

Here's what they think about it:

My week of Fall Break is almost over and I'm sad about it, it's gone WAY too fast!
Here are a couple of pics from our school's fair booth I had to decorate here in town. Julie had the day off so she helped me out! Sweet! This year I opted for NOT following what the other elementary schools usually do--and instead decorated the booth with student artwork. It was WAY more fun than trying to compete and decorate it by their boring themes. (Yes, I'm just a little bitter because the same school wins the competition every year no matter what, so this year I opted out and enjoyed it way more!)
