#276 - Screamin' Across the Finish Line

My dear friend participated in a half-marathon today, and when I went to check the website for start times so that I could approximate when she'd finish, I discovered that they had a live feed from the finish line.  How fun to get to watch and literally cheer her and her siblings across the finish line - from two time zones away!

Banners on the power poles line Main Street, which lead the way straight to the Parish Fairgrounds. (10/02/10)

#274 - Thankful for my Handy-Man

I am so glad that hubby is good at fixing things.  Our brakes have been squealing, and he spent most of the day today fixing it, with the help of a good friend from church. (10/01/10)

#273 - M and his "Pillow Pet"

They've been seeing the commercials for ages, and today while we were out and about for "Mommy and Me" time after M's annual well-check, he decided to buy this pillow pet with some of his birthday money ... he's named it "Honey Hive." And he's so funny ... you can hear him quote the commercial ... "It's a pet ... now it's a full size pillow" (Not just a pillow, but a FULL-SIZE pillow)  How fun! :o) (09/30/10)

#272 - The "Flag Tunnel"

Another sign that the Fair is coming soon ... the "Flag Tunnel" goes up over the main thoroughfare at the Fairgrounds! :) (09/29/10)

#271 - Pack Meeting Night

Our first pack meeting of the year ... Tiger Cubs were in charge of the song, and the Webelos did the closing.(09/28/10)

#270 - Nature Discoveries ...

After school today, the boys and I headed to the fairgrounds to take advantage of the beautiful weather.  We took a stroll around the park, and J found this baby pinecone. :o)  (09/27/10)

#269 - Signs of the Fair

The Washington Parish Free Fair is THE biggest happening in our area (for those of you who are non-Louisianians, our "parishes" are the same as your "counties.")  And it's fun to see the town getting prepared for this annual event - I think this year is the 99th annual fair.  This picture was taken on the 23rd, and was one of the first signs of the fair that I saw ... the red, gold and green flags displayed on the main entrance to the fairgrounds.
