Some photos from this weekend. I still maintain that AZ has the most beautiful skies ever!

That I work from home two days a week. Along with getting work done for Brenda, it gives me time to myself, to work on various projects: organizing, designing, etc. Mondays and Fridays are good alone time. I love having Jesse home, but I also love my alone time!

[ fried snickers bar ]

This morning, Jesse & I ran a bunch of errands, and thennnnnnnnnn

We went to the State Fair! It was a lot of fun. I haven't been to a fair in ages. The only ride we went on was the Ferris Wheel, but we made it count by going on the biggest one they had... it was called El Grande Wheel. Awesome. Yeah, the AZ State Fair has FOUR Ferris Wheels!!! Insane. We played a couple games, but mostly walked around, enjoying the sites, and having fair food.

We had funnel cake, Jesse had ice cream, I had a root beer float.

And.

I tried a Fried Snickers Bar. I don't usually eat fried food, and this was a good reminder as to why, because about four bites in, and I started to feel sick. But I tried it. It was an experience I felt I needed to have. Good times. Pictures to come!

The joy of children, and the ease with which they are made happy.

I won a little Spiderman stuffed toy at a game (the popping the balloons game, which I don't know why I picked that one to play, seeing as I hate balloons). And on the shuttle ride back to our car, I had taken it out and was jokingly hitting Jesse with it. And this little boy, maybe eight-years-old, was sitting near us, just completely transfixed with the Spiderman. I noticed he had gotten one of the Venom stuffed toys, so when we were about to get off the bus, I held it out to him and asked if he wanted it. Because really, he'll appreciate a stuffed Spiderman way more than I will. I can't remember the last time I've seen a little kid so happy. His dad thanked us profusely, and said that we probably made his century. Yay! It made me happy to make him SO happy.
