The Fair

After watching season 3 of Stranger Things, we really wanted to go to a fair and play old fashioned fair games. When we saw one was nearby, we attempted to go. It was in the first weekend of August and I was so nervous about the heat. Thankfully it was only 87 that day instead of 97 like it'd been all week previous. As we walked into the fair I immediately saw a kid throwing up in the bushes. So that was fun haha. 

We got ourself some street tacos and fries, but honestly they weren't the best. There was this awesome girl band playing under the shade and Aaron and I settled in there while Sammy got some drinks. Aaron started clapping his hands over his ears and crying because the band was too loud. I was sad because their drummer was awesome and I wanted to listen, but we had to move. The only other picnic tables were in the sun. We ate our lunch there and then Aaron needed a bottle. I was getting worried about him because he was acting sluggish in the heat, but we didn't know where else to go because the band was too loud for him. Eventually the band stopped playing and we found a place to sit in the shade again. 
We were all drenched in sweat, so we decided to just take Aaron to the petting zoo and call it good. Except when we got to the petting zoo, he didn't have any interest in any of the animals. He was having more fun watching the other kids inside. So that was that. Some booth asked us as we were walking by if we wanted to win a trip to Vegas and I was like, "No, I don't want to go live in sin." I crack myself up haha. 

We've tried a few times to do things like this, but this time it's finally hit that this is just not the season of our life for this. We'll try again in a year or two. For now, we'll snuggle at home, go to story time, and activities that aren't so loud and hot and crowded haha!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
