No eggos, just chicken, thanks

That pretty much sums up the last few days... the randomness of a couple of toddlers.

Let's back up a little bit. Last Sunday morning (at 8:30 AM) we ventured off to the NC State Fair. My mom (aka Memere) was at the beach with her high school buddies, so my dad (aka Poppy) tagged along too. Aunt Dithy was in town, so she also joined in the fun. It was a GORGEOUS day - perfect for the fair. The kids had fun looking at all the animals and mimicking the sounds. Did you know that a CHICKEN says "COP-a-doodle-doo?" Last time I checked, a ROOSTER says "cock-a-doodle-do" but there is no sense in arguing with a 2 year old about such trivial things. Even little Kate got into the cows and their MOOOOO-ing. It was cute. Here are a few pictures, but you can check out the "Mat's Mac" link too.

Equally amazed by something...


Blurry, but cute - those pumpkins were over 600 pounds!!


Aunt Dithy, take me over there!


Let me in! I'm NOT too little!

Wednesday morning was Costume Parade day at the ECLC (Brett's school). Out of 12 kids, I think that 8 of them were in tears at any given moment, but it was cute either way. I'd never thought about how they actually travel from Point A to Point B with 12 kids and only 2 adults. They have 12 colored rings, all tied together with a LONG rope. Each kid grabs a ring and off they go - 12 kids in a row. In the process of going from the classroom to the courtyard, they managed to wrap themselves around a pole - I couldn't help but to laugh. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the chaos known as the Costume Parade!












Pretty impressive - they're ALMOST all facing the same direction at the same time!

I'll leave you with the conversation between Brett & Todd tonight:

Todd: "Brett, do you want to eat Eggos with Daddy tomorrow morning for breakfast."
Brett: "No eggos, just chickens"
Todd: "No, Brett - EGGOS, not EGGS"
Brett: "no EGGOS, just CHICKENS"
