It’s been quite a while since I’ve done this carnival and I’ve really missed it! I have not done one of these since August. And, holy crap, it’s November! But, I’m sitting at my parents house in Ohio wondering if it’s going to snow and suddenly thought that it would be nice to share some of the things I’ve learned on our family adventure.
- I’ve learned that my parents house is a death trap and I’ve seen entirely too many accidents and blood for one trip.
- It is entirely possible to get bit by a horse and still have a finger. My little Charlotte is sporting the proof.
- All five of us are sleeping in one room and we might just be the noisiest damn sleepers ever!
- I learned that my kids will actually eat meatloaf! Sadly it’s not the kind I make.
- The aesthetic beauty of a Christmas tree decorated by those under 4 feet is astounding!
- I learned that Ohio is really freakin’ cold in November. I used to know this fact, but living in the South beat it out of me.
These are just some of the highlights of the first three days. We’re going to be here until Friday and I have no doubt that I’m bound to learn more – especially about the numerous noisy animal keychains my mother gave the baby to ‘play with.’ Thanks for that, Mom. Really.
You know the old saying about Ohio – wait 5 minutes and the weather could be different. Oh, you know it could be much colder in Ohio than it is. Depending where you are in Ohio, you might get a little send off Friday with some snow LOL.
I can just imagine the scene there. Sounds like the kids are having fun….at least! lol.
They love my noisemaker keychains and my meatloaf. Quit complaining.
One of my coworkers is from Hawaii (we're in Seattle now), and walking to work with her this morning she was surprised that I only had a thin jacket and a coat on, she was quite bundled up. I will never understand what it feels like to be from warm weather! I definitely am a winter girl by heart, I even prefer the winter Olympics over summer. Egads.
Great lessons.
Funny how kids will eat things for others, that they won't touch when we make them!
All 5 of us sleeping in one room? No thanks – my worst nightmare!
It has been one of mine too…until this trip
