my fair lady

It's time for the Arkansas State Fair and I had all but talked myself out of going this year (have you ever tried to get a 2 year old to walk beside you and hold your hand?), but then I saw the ad for Kiddie Ride Day and I got sucked in. Presley was out of school last Friday for the end of the 9 weeks (has it been 9 weeks already?!?) and the kids got free admission and free rides from 9-11. I sweet talked Mimi & Poppie into going with us (see above about getting a 2 year old to listen!). We loaded up and got there early but the lines were already long. The kids got to ride about 6 rides in the 2 hour period but they had a great time! We stuck around for some yummy fair food and a look at all the animals. The weather was amazing and the kids had so much fun!

 It's hard to tell what's going on in this picture, but Landon was starting to freak out on this ride so Presley reached back and put her arm around him to try to comfort him. Makes a mama smile!

Presley's school has a big Fall Festival every year. The kids have been talking about it for weeks. As room mom (ahh, I forgot to tell everyone about my newest appointment), it was my job (along with 3 other moms thank goodness) to organize a class booth and silent auction basket. We had a good time putting together our Pumpkin Ring Toss and I have to say, our art basket was my favorite thing at the auction. The night was a huge success and the kids had a blast.

gone but not forgotten

I would like to thank everyone for all the well-wishes while I spent the last month in a coma.
Obviously that is a BIG FAT lie, but I had to come up with an excuse as to why I haven't blogged since September 7!! The truth is that life is just crazy with the Wyatts right now. The days and weeks fly by. I think the easiest way to recap the last month is through pictures, so here we go...

Grandparents Day at Fair Park.

This is Julianne, Presley's best friend at school.
