Mommy & Lukey Time

During the weekend we were potty training Paige, I had been in the house from when I got home from work on Friday until Sunday morning.  I NEEDED to get out of the house.  There was a carnival in our town so Luke and I headed out together for some fun!

We went on a ride on an old firetruck, he hit up some rides and then we shared a funnel cake and lemon shake-up! 











It's always fun to spend some one-on-one time with him!  We both need it :)

And here are some silly pictures of Luke and me as we were waiting in the drop off line at school the other morning!

Labor Day Weekend

We're going back a few weeks here, but we had a great Labor Day weekend. That Friday was my last Friday off for the summer so the kids and I enjoyed a little lunch pool side!









Saturday was a pretty low key day from what I can remember, but we did go see the movie "Epic" in the park that night.



Sunday we headed to the Frankfort Fall Festival and parade with my parents as we have done every year for the past 3 years.



 Paige started off on our laps during the parade but slowly made her way to her own seat next to Luke. I think she figured out the candy was easier to get to from there :)







After the parade, it was time to hit up the carnival!











And then we let Luke play one game and look what he won! (I think it lasted maybe a couple of hours before it got a hole in it!)





It was another fun year at the festival!

Monday we headed to the Kane County Cougars baseball game. Wally had won a suite from a golf outing he played in earlier in the summer. We had 25 tickets to use so we invited all of our family and friends to join us. It was a gorgeous day for a baseball game!

Frankfort Fall Fest 2012

We headed to the Frankfort Fall Fest over Labor Day weekend with Grammy & Papa, just as we did last year.  This year we were better prepared for the parade by bringing lawn chairs, but we still were missing a cooler.  In my defense, I thought for sure we were going to get rained on so I didn't really think we would last at the parade.  Well, it turned out to be sunny and HOT!  We definitely could have used a cooler!  Next year!





The theme of the parade this year was Carnivale!  There was definitely no shortage of beads to be found!








Even Santa stopped by the parade!



And the Sheriff from Radiator Springs!



I wasn't worried about Luke this year with the sirens and loud noises, but I wasn't sure how Paige would do.  It turns out that it didn't even phase her!




 

 

Oh how I love these 2 crazy kids!



 



There is Luke's preschool! (Maybe next year we can ride on it, although I like the idea of just watching the parade and think that is probably more fun for the kids!0
 

Love it!




Luke's turn!  He wears this around the house regularly now!


She just took it all in!

 



Papa decided to use the umbrellas we brought for the rain to shade us from the sun!


After the hour and half long parade and the TON of candy and flyers we received, it was time to check out some crafts and of course hit up the carnival!

Little Miss didn't it make it much longer after the parade!  Poor girl is such a sweaty mess!




Luke drove a boat...
 



flew an airplane...





rode a motorcycle...


went on his first roller coaster - the dragon...he climbed right into the front car!




 



And he did some fishing!
 

Look who woke up!
 

This festival and parade is always a must-do for the summer!   And next year, we WILL bring a cooler!
