Don't you smile!

I wish I could say this works every time!

Our Fair (little) Lady

Poppy's preschool class went on a field trip to the Dane County fair. The local news was there, filming a bit about the animals and how they keep cool in the heat. If I didn't love where I lived before, I just fell head over heels.

Here is a the clip. Her preschool class is shown petting a chicken at about the :16 mark. Poppy is in the center. 

One Cup Hot Coffee= One Post

Chris is on vacation this week so he took Poppy to preschool this morning. She even conned him into staying for circle time. Chloe just went down for her morning nap. She's happily babbling in her crib. I am watching 'Intervention'* while I savor a cup of coffee. I can't remember the last time I finished a cup of coffee without having to reheat it. It's a nice Wednesday morning treat.

I hope you had a special Independence Day. Just like last year, our neighborhood had a parade. This year it was longer, had a larger turn-out, and it ended at a nearby park. I'm not quite sure who sponsored it but I'd like to give whomever is responsible a great big hug. It was sweet, very small-townish. There were hamburgers and hot dogs, face painting, a cake walk, a dunk tank, sack races, water balloons, and patriotic music. And a nice breeze. We are so thankful that life brought us to this place. And, of course, fortunate to live in this country.

 I watched the finale of Project Runway season 4 last night. Love Christian Siriano. I wish I could carry him around in my pocket all day long:) And season 8 starts July 29. It will now be 90 minutes long! JACKPOT!
