Maya fun and Halloween Carnival

Maya likes to wear Delaney's old jerseys to her soccer games.

Playing with a magnifying glass is hugely entertaining.

Pink Bat Girl in her finest getting ready to go to our neighborhood park, Melrose Park, for the annual Halloween Carnival.

One more song before we go. This little one plays the piano ALL THE TIME!!! I don't try to make her play, because that could backfire, she just does it on her own. She is learning about one new song each week and it is truly amazing to watch. She loves it!!!

My little cookie monster. This outfit was quite a hit with everyone we saw. Thank you Party City. I think people thought I was actually crafty. Ha ha.

Not wanting to leave the bounce castle....Randy had to drag Maya out.

Pretty Pink Bat Girl

Delaney saw her friend Campbell there and she was dressed as an adorable sailor.

The three girls played a game of digging for bones to get tickets to get prizes.

Learning how to play the tossing game.

Maya liked to look at the fish pictures on the sprinkler area.

They had a puppet show. Quite odd with children doing the "acting" but a cute idea for the carnival.

Delaney saw her friend Ellie who was dressed as pink spidergirl. Delaney loves Ellie and was a little overbearing. Randy and I have had to talk a little to her lately about that. She is so sweet and affectionate but it is sometimes a bit too much.....my sweet dramatic girl.

Bat girls and monsters on the slide.

Getting some family picture time in as spiders.

Halloween Preparedness and The SC State Fair

Our annual Mr. Potato Head princess and witch pumpkins.

"spooky" spider web

Garlic had to come and check out the new decorations.

Before we headed to the SC State Fair the girls had on their matching coats and Burger King crowns. Thank you Randy my dear for this new accessory. The girls did their "I'm shy" pose for the camera.

The petting zoo was amazing to Maya.

She loves some ducks...

...and some goats.

Miss Cool feeding the cow with her daddy...

...and then the donkey.

Double donkey action.

The girls got to ride the little car together. This was one of the only rides that Maya could go on. Poor little shrimpboat. She didn't even notice though because the fair in itself was so exciting.

Look at that happy face!!!

Miss Cool flying by on the swing.

Maya took a ride on my lap down the big slide.

You can't really tell but her face looks a little nervous. She was very excited though and seemed to love it!

Delaney went next on Randy's lap.

Randy and his girls on the mini submarine.

Delaney on the bee.

Figuring out the plan on where to go at the fair next.

Lunch!! We had already had french fries while walking around so the girls had some pizza and I had some fried mushrooms.

Finger lickin' pizza and dancing at the SC State Fair. We need to teach this poor child some moves. Maya entertains herself by singing Twinkle Twinkle and doing laps around the stroller. Seriously---this kid could have fun in a cardboard box. My little munchkin was too small to go on most of the rides and Randy and I felt bad but Maya didn't seem to notice at all. She had a blast.

Randy barely fit on the mini rollercoaster with Delaney.

Doodles on the teacups.

Maya won a little stuffed whale!!! (It was one of those pick a duck out of a pond and you are guaranteed a prize sort of things but we didn't tell her that). :)

My sweet munchkin was exhausted after several hours at the fair. Having fun will do that to you!!

Delaney and I did the ferris wheel together for our last ride.

Seeing her little face as we went up in the ferris wheel was priceless. That smile and look of wonderment. I love it so.

Yay Fair!!!! See you again next year!!! And I will see you Fiske Fries and different menu option other than fried mushrooms. But I will stick with the chocolate covered funnel cake. Yumaroo.
