We've gone and done it!
We have a fair that comes to town every year. It's one of the biggest on the east coast and it's here for about 10 days each summer! I used to go with my friends to just hang out and walk around in high school, but haven't been back sense. Oh, well, maybe ONCE about 5 years ago I literally walked in to get a funnel cake and walked right back out! Well, after we had Little Hauss, I mentioned it to the Hubby! I thought we should take him a couple of summers ago when he was almost 2! Wrong! Hubby and I both work for a local establishment where we see all sorts of people and usually on one of their worst days so Hubby was less than thrilled to go and have a possible run in with any of them....especially with having his family with him.
Now that Little Hauss is almost 4, he's very aware of the HUGE Ferris Wheel in his backyard and wants to go see what its all about! I don't blame him - what kid wouldn't be attracted to the lights and rides? Oh, and it doesn't help that all the kids in school are talking about it. He came home everyday last week asking when we were going. We took him on Friday evening (hubby had already agreed that we should and he would just man up and be a good daddy!!!!). It didn't open until 4, so we got there a little after the gates opened and walked a loop so he could take it all in - and so we could scope out the rides he could actually ride alone. Lucky us, he met the height requirement for over 15 or so rides. With tickets costing a pretty penny, it was well worth it for us to purchase the wristband and let him go on as many as he wanted - which was ALL of them!
He LOVED it. He went down the slide over 5 times and rode some others twice! He was so excited and in awe of all the scenery - we were in awe of some of it as well! I still can't figure out where these people come from.....and this seriously must be a vacation for some of them. It is easy as pie to drop over $100 in an hour at this place....games, tickets, and food! We had a limit for Little Hauss. He got all the rides with the wristband, one snack and one drink. He was having so much fun though, we had to force him to stop and eat (and knowing him, you know that is a hard feat because he eats everything all the time)!
And on a positive note, we didn't see any riff raff that we knew! It was a good day, but we're thankful it only comes once a year!!!!!
This is why it was all worth it! He's in awe!

Chowing down on a corndog!
Probably the 3rd or 4th time down the slide!
Getting ready to spin the apple!
Ready for take off!

Where do we come from?
Little Hauss never ceases to amaze me with his charm, knowledge, and most of all wit! He's quite the funny guy and knows more than he should at this age! I really never worried about "those" conversations or having the "talk", but I didn't expect it until about age 5 or 6! He's not even 4 and is catching me off guard more and more these days!
This week I got stuck in one of those moments! Little Hauss asked me how long the Hubby and I had been married (which is just crazy from a 3 1/2 year old anyway but nonetheless). I told him almost 7 years which he replied to with "when I was a baby?" I told him no, that he wasn't born yet. He said, "oh, when I was in your belly?" I told him no again and said that he wasn't in mommy's belly until a few more years after that. He then dropped the bomb on me. He asked "How did I get in your belly?" WHAT? Ok, So I really did have a simple answer for this...but before I could even answer him, he sneaks this out - "Mom, how did you get me in your belly? Did you eat me?" HAHA! I really was just on the floor laughing. He got me good! But then he sucker punched me one last time......He asked "how did you get me out?"
And that marked the end of the converstation!

Zip It
My mouth that is.
As most of you know or have realized, I talk a lot. I have lots to say (whether you want to listen to it or not) and I'm very straight forward. I try really hard to think before I speak, but sometimes that doesn't always happen.
I have a tone. You know that tone. Sometimes I don't even know I have it until someone takes offense. Puh-leeze! Some people are wound too tight for their own good and can't just let it be. Some people should get a back bone and say something to my face if it bothers them.....obviously I say it like it is, so they should be able to return the favor. Most times, I'm not mad or upset, but just simply stating a fact or an observation. Other times, I am a little peeved, and yes, you will know it. I have no problem telling you if I'm irritated. If I'm really mad, you'll definitely get the picture - or Stella will tell you, but hopefully it doesn't reach that point.
Either way, I'm sorry to anyone I've offended by just being me and saying things that always come out of my mouth! I'll try to work on that!

Low Key Holiday
We tried....not the best photo, but we got one!
This was after we let Little Hauss sleep until 7ish (at the pool until at least 4) with the hopes of him staying up for the fireworks and not being a total grump. We ate, watched a movie to pass the time before the festivities and then WOKE up to the booms! Yep, we all fell asleep on the couch! BEFORE 9pm! I apparently was so gone that I didn't hear the fireworks, and Hubby was waking me up dragging Little Hauss out to the porch to make sure they didn't miss anything. I caught up a few minutes later and we got to see a great show. Usually they are around 10, but it started to drizzle, so we guess the wanted to go ahead and do them before the weather wouldn't allow it!
All in all it was a great day of time spent with friends and family. Hope you all had a great holiday!

Happy 4th of July
This was one year ago! We had no idea this was one of the perks of buying the house, even if it is only once a year!
This is the view I'll have around 10pm tonight from my front porch with a cocktail in hand and my two favorite boys beside me!

I hope you all have a great Independence Day!

Last night of freedom...
I pick up Little Hauss tomorrow! I'm going out with a bang too - a porch happy hour with the girls after work!
We've thoroughly enjoyed our week together and had so much fun. I appreciate the quality time that Hubby and I have had and vow to make more time for it when Little Hauss returns. It is such a blessing to be able to spend all this uninterrupted time with my best friend! We have date nights and late evening chats, but it isn't the same as days!
We are so excited to see our little man and hear about all the wonderful fun things he did with his Gigi and Pop! I'm sure he'll talk about it for weeks! We've chatted with him briefly on the phone but he's been more interested in playing with whatever cool toy or game Gigi had for him than telling us about his day! It is just nice to hear his sweet voice!
I highly reccommend a break from your child to reconnect with your spouse if you have the time and the help! It's great for you and them to spend some time apart every once in a while - plus he's gonna have to get used to it when we are in MEXICO for our cruise!
