Are yours on? This is a typical question in our house.....usually aimed at our son, but I almost asked the Hubby last night.
I left the house in the morning giving him details of the evening events - not to surprise him - I thought I was being considerate and thoughtful as things would indeed be different from normal evenings. WRONG.....I think everything I told him followed me out the door because when I came home, he asked all kinds of things that I had already told him and acted like what I was saying was crazy!
Hubby, I love you dearly, and I do love to talk, but sometimes, despite what you think, there are important details that come out of my mouth that I would appreciate you giving half and ear to!
Ok, I've said my piece! Please forgive me for blog bashing you - his words, not mine!

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!
