Noelle has been well since Monday, and Mike and I are still pretty weak from being sick all Monday night, but we just couldn’t resist the carnival down the street.  We stayed away from the other kids though!

Telling Noelle she was about to get “TREATS!”

Noelle went into observer mode – there was so much to take in!

Looking at all the bounce houses!  Man, these things are a dime a dozen these days – we would’ve freaked out just having one when we were kids!

Noelle about to ride her first pony!  She was fiercely holding onto my arm – she was scared but didn’t want to get off.

Getting the hang of it!

I’m tripping out – she wouldn’t let me go!

She finally let go – even though she’s not smiling, she loved it!

I love my family!

I felt bad these birds were all cooped up, but Noelle cheered them up!

Making sure she saw everything, very detail-oriented!

Ring toss!

Those of you who know us well, know that we never give Noelle sugar or candy.  Tonight, however, she got a few smarties, so she was in heaven!  After all, she did win them at the ring toss!

We’re beat!  We had a super fun night!  Thank goodness the weekend is almost here, and guess what!?!  Surprise, surprise – we have NOTHING planned, except church on Sunday night!  We are so excited, so you probably won’t be hearing from us for a while.
