Babes In ToyLand

We had 3 gorgeous "Babes" stay overnight
on Friday & enjoy toyland in
"Grandma's Doll Room". Here they are
in the canopy bed even though they
couldn't stay awake too late after being
at the fair- up only until 11:30 pm!!!










In the morning the girls woke up
about 7 am & played Barbies.













Then on to heart waffles for
breakfast. Can you believe that
they used up a WHOLE can of
whip cream?????










Miriam & Emma played with the
older small Polly Pockets...










while Sydney played with the newer
Polly Pockets in the tent!













We made a bunch of Halloween
treats- spider cookies, coffin
brownies, & orange popcorn balls.
Yum, Yum, Yum!!!













Lunch was up in the fort- root
beer floats. sandwiches, chips,
licorice, & brownies. (Emma
was quick to remind me that
I had forgotten the ice cream
for the floats...which I hurried
to get to the girls.)

SCORE: Spinning Chair-1 Sydney- 0

As soon as we got home from the fair, Emma raced into the house to take off her shoes, drop her overnight bag in a bedroom, wash her hands, & race to the Doll Room. Miriam & Sydney were close behind her. Watch what happens!!! This is NOT rehearsed!

The Fair & Family Fun

It is October & time for our traditional
trip to the Arizona State Fair. We started
the night watching the banana derby-
monkeys riding dogs & racing.














Dad & Miriam checked out the high
diving event & then we all tried the
samples at the Spam Mobile. Miriam
was brave & answered a few Spam
questions to earn a Spam t-shirt!
Another Spam convert!!!














The kids got 3 rides- Miriam picked
the tilt-a-whirl. I wish you could have
seen the expression on her face :)
while Emma & Sydney went on the
Crazy Coaster (a small roller coaster).
This is Sydney hugging Don after the
ride (and not letting go for quite a while).
"It was a scarey ride!"











Here's Samuel &Adrianne, Emma,
Elijah, Miriam, Don, & Sydney in
front of the Fun House that the girls
went through.











The guys really wanted to see the
Demolition Derby- noisy & crazy!
Carole's favorite shark car didn't
win!











Elijah thought it was great fun!
Again, a boy thing.












Of course, we had to have Piggly Fries
before we left the fair. We also got to
try something new- deep fried potatoes!
Not bad. And yummy funnel cake! With
two toppings- carmel & chocolate! AND
mounds of whip cream!!!

Sydney had been waiting for the best part
to her...the foot massage at the end! Of
course, it felt even better because it was
in the yellow chair! Don figured Sydney
would have been happy if he had just brought
a few quarters & skipped the rest of the fair!!!

Grandma's Doll Room

Well, Grandma's Doll Room is almost finished!!! A special
thanks to Grandpa for helping put things together in the
room. It has been lots of fun to see the finished project!
Come & play!!!

Here is a "Virtual Tour" of the room. Enjoy!!!
