GETTING READY..............

For the past three weeks me and other parents have been working feverishly on our float for the annual parade that kicks off our Fair, the first full week in October. I missed Float Prep last week due to your sisters being sick and all, so this week I have alot to do. I am the secretary for the Parent Group and I swear it's like my second job, just without pay. So I am in charge of sending out reminders, getting "forms" signed, and collecting anything else that might need to be collected.

There is also the small fact that our float has won first place for the last three years in a row. So of course, we would like to WIN again this year. I think our float will look really good once it's all put together, but right now it's in peices. Last year we had what we call a "Macy's Day Parade" float because it had tons of handmade paper flowers on it. And I mean TONS!!!!! That was hard work. There were about 5 mom's in charge of making those flowers and this year that was NOT an option. It turned out BEAUTIFUL, but that was alot of work.

Again, you will be missing the fair. You would be old enough to ride some rides and old enough to run off from me. I can't help but think about you everytime something comes up. It's hard. But I know that you are watching over each of us from up above and sometimes that brings me some comfort and sometimes it doesn't.

Our fair isn't always the greatest but it gives us something to do for 5 days (evenings) and it gives us a place to spend money, like we need to, HA!! I am hoping to get a picture of this year's float and posting it here. I had a picture of last years but I think I deleted it. But I want you to see what I've been working on. This helps me stay busy and keeps my mind off things, if you know what I mean.

Cylas, I love ya, and I always will!!!

Your MOMMY
