| (and what I mean by that is: I'M toast!) |
my cuppa is hot peppermint tea (Stash Merry Mint) on a chilly rainy day in Washington
... and still in jammies!
The fair is over
- for us at least -
our other 4-H neighbors (chickens, dogs and cows) are still down there
(and the moms who are almost toast)
 |
| (it was a wonderful 5 days with all of these folks) |
the kids are all so special
we're so glad to have found 4-H
not only have we made new friends
we also know how to take better care of our cavy.
my animal loving girl is learning confidence, responsibility and a world of possibilities
 |
| (there's my girl in the red shirt and looking straight at the camera) |
... and the rewards that go with being dedicated and motivated
 |
| (lots of ribbons and a trophy for: a poster, photography, a costume contest, a quiz contest, fitting and showing her pig, and a special award for being an enthusiastic "primary") |
And her older sister wants a rabbit so she can do 4-H too.
(I think I can do this - if I allow myself to be toast once in a while)

thank you for enduring the week long saga of The Fair!
I'll be back with art after the dust settles around here :)
In the meantime - enjoy a cuppa with my fine blogger fiend listed in the Tea and Tuesday spot of my sidebar!
and Happy Tuesday!

I have those days of staying in my jammies for a time! It's okay Kimmie....enjoy! :) Have a happy T Tuesday!
I've really enjoyed visiting the fair with you this year. I see your daughter got lots of awards. That is always so special and builds so much confidence. I'm proud of you, dear Kimmie. It's OK to be toast when you are a supportive and caring mother who shares activities with her children. I'll drink (tea) to that, too.
Very cool Kimmie... And to be toast once in a while is just fine...
If anyone deserves a 'jammie day', it's you, Kimmie! I loved your posts this week and (frankly) I'm a little sad that the fair is finished. Congrats, Mom, on a job well done! And just look at all of those well deserved and hard earned ribbons!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
You look so warm and 'toasty' :)
I love all the pics from the fair, I see you in your daughters' face :) congrats on all the ribbons!
I love the animals and I love the clown--so cute. Looks like so much fun!
I'm enjoying tea with rain too :)
You deserved a really good break and "tea in bed"...that's relaxing....have enjoyed your fair posts dear Kimmie....have a happy day!!!
Hi Kimmie- Glad that you got to rest in your jammies, and be you for a bit. Being a mom is hard work, but that is what makes a great kid, and you have got them! Happy day to you, Christen
Looks like fun was had by all at the fair! 4-H is such a great thing for kids....its great that you encourage and participate! What a great mom you are!
I wish I had gone to the fair; I missed it. Again. Haha. Looks like a good time was had by all!
wow! I am always thrilled when I find someone who's heard of 4H. It was a life line for me years ago. Seriously.
