Remember that carnival I’ve told you about?  You know the one that, after we attend it, usually results in emergency medical treatment (Bird: opthalmologist with a torn cornea Me: ER with a foot crushed by large, fat pony).  Well, it was that time again and I took the kids, singlehandedly and brought along Ren, just for kicks.

All told, it went very well despite the heat (high 80’s) and the fact that we spent FOUR HOURS there.  Of course there are stories.
Remind me to tell you about:
~The wine bar (it doesn’t exist, but it should)
~The mother who treated her kids like props in a photo essay 
~God help us, the TROLLEY!
Oh and I’m ruminating hard about love, specifically the reckless sort.

The Lake

It’s been a busy week of constant get togethers with friends and family.  We’ve been outside all day, just about every day.  Today we sort of collapsed.
Fortunately it was a day of rest.

Kicking (kickin?) it pool side.

Christopher is visiting cousins which made having my Mac by the pool a possibility.  This lasted for about three minutes before we realized that Jackie Boy was AWOL.  Since yelling didn’t summon him, we had to mount a search.  By the time all the girls were out of the pool and found their flip flops, Paul found Jack at the neighbors.

The little brunettes floating on alligators are my nieces.  It was an all H- – – – – – Girl Sleep Over last night.   
Good times, but not much rest.
