Af'fair' to Remember

A night at the Ozark Empire Fair . . .


I've mentioned before how I love to draw with Ian and Lilly, especially following a significant time I want to remember. Through their drawings, I get to see what was most important to them about the experience. Check out this post for more.

Here are drawings of our visit to the Fair:





(Free digital frame download found here.)

Just when I started to think my drawing was way kindergarten-meets Picasso (in a bad way), Ian says, "OH, MAMA! It's soooo pretty!"
And then this: "Can it be mine?"

*smiles*
LUV those mommy moments!

The quote of the night definitely comes from mom, after seeing this:

She said, "It's shockingly human-looking!"
Man. Mom can seriously bring the funny sometimes.

Don't worry, I don't plan to end this post with any cheesy phrases like, "No butts about it. We had a great time at the Fair." Oh no, I wouldn't do that.

Instead, I'll end (ahem) with Ian's quote, Pineapple Whip in hand on the way out, "This was the best night I ever had before."

There. That's better.

P.S. There's still time to enter this giveaway.
See you tomorrow!
