Dog Fair


Aunt Susan invited us to a little fair near our house with different vendors dealing with dogs and their care...We headed over after church on Sunday...The kids were excited to get their faces painted...they waited so patiently (something Carter usually struggles with)...they both picked out what "face" they wanted to have painted...

M choose a unicorn! At first she wanted to be a poodle...lots of time to choose and decide in line...

Carter wanted a tiger or an elephant that would have covered his eyes and nose...but I was concerned about his boo boo and not painting on it...so I asked if she could draw one of those small on his cheek...he was so still while she painted...I don't think M got her face painted until she was 3...I was surprised at how still he sat...but when it didn't look like what he had been looking at while he waited he got upset...he couldn't get over the disappointment so he and I went back to hang out in the van while Aunt Susan and M finished walking around...good lesson in disappointment and things not working out they way we want them too sometimes in life...and I should have chatted with him before he got his face painted about it looking different...we had a nice chat on the way the van as Carter kept up his "noise pollution"...but once inside he was a happy little camper... :) Oh the JOY of playing in the back!

We got home and Mike had cut the grass and was working in the yard...it looked so nice!
Thanks for telling us about the fair Aunt SQ! We had fun! The kids loved seeing all the different dogs!
