Fair Day

Bash was off of school on Friday so we braved the Florida State Fair with the Woods family. It was my first time at the fair since I got married and had Bash. We had fun....a different kind of fun than I remember. I use to go and eat and drink our way through the fair at night and maybe catch a concert. This time, I drank water and iced tea and tried to keep track of the kids and didn't touch a funnel cake. Different but fun. Nicholas and Sebastien went on about 20 rides and it is a miracle that they didn't get sick because everyone of them spun around and around.

We had hockey last night and Bash got hit with his first cross-check across the back. It was awful to watch but he survived after a few tears and my wonderful words of wisdom..."That's hockey, Bash....get back out there", as I wiped tears from his eyes (and mine). I think the dads all around me were proud that I handled it like that. The mother of the boy who hit him was pissed at her son and pulled his bully butt off the ice for a good talking to. I was secrectly happy she did it.
Sebastien's first day of basketball was this morning. To my surprise, he loved it and scored a basket. So, there goes our Sat. mornings. We have to be at the Y by 7:50 a.m. next week. They must have been smoking something when they made the schedule....the kids are 5 and under.
This coming week we have Thursday and Friday off.....probably another Saints birthday.
