Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
So Saturday was interesting. Let’s just say that Heather is not a huge fan of the fair. I never have been. It’s hot and crowded and there really isn’t a lot I enjoy doing but, I eventually prayed for an adjustment in my attitude and though I do believe I didn’t quite follow God’s will there, I made it through the fair.
I was really proud of everyone in my family. I had forgotten to pray with them before we left. I’m only human, changed, but still human. 
I turned us all towards a bench, had everyone grab hands, and we stood there and prayed. I was mighty delighted to not get any rolled eyes towards heaven from my family members and I don’t really care if anyone else was staring.
I do believe the prayer went something like this, Dear God, please protect my family, my children, let them listen to me because, dude they wander easily. And please help me change my attitude because you know how much I hate this place.
He did work miracles. I didn’t lose any of my children. Not once.
Yay me!
My attitude still left something to be desired though, but I tried….. kinda.
Towards the end.
Because I was happy it was time to go.
Did I mention I hate the fair?
God’s strength, people, that’s the only way I made it though Saturday…. without losing one of my 4 ducklings.
Did I mention I forgot my camera? Or someone did. I believe I told Katiana to take it off the charger and put it in my purse, and I think she may have started playing with it, which then caused Jordan to start yelling at her, which then caused Pato to step in and put my camera on the entertainment center. Effect – cell phone pictures.
Those are my 3 loving the fair. Christiano was enjoying himself, I promise. He just doesn’t work with me on pictures.
Thumbs up from Jordan. I am really proud of him. He for the most part was so well behaved. I always knew where he was…… beside me.
I believe we may have even worked mom into the picture. Yep, that’s me.
Nano crashed hard and slept the whole fair. Poor baby. Worked out well I think. No whiny from the peanut gallery. Just from the one middle peanut who is 7. Games mom. I’m bored. I want to ride on rides. Are we almost done, can we go ride rides now?
I don’t believe I held the camera far enough away. Pato and I. Aren’t we cute?
My first baby and I. I cannot believe that Jordan is going to be 13 in February. Truthfully? I am totally not old enough to have a son who is going to turn 13. ….. doing the math. Crap, I am old enough.
So it was a cough cough complete blast. I did not stand strong against my fudge craving.
I totally had help eating that. The kids keep trying to get in the fridge to steal some. My fudge. House rule. Don’t touch it. You may lose a finger and I am totally serious.
Don’t come between me and my chocolate or my fudge. God save your soul if you do.
After the fair, I came home and started to relax finally. I was going to go to the Manning family get together, but I have been fighting something that is making me hoarse and squeaky, and I tend to cough all over everything I am near. I didn’t want to take that to my grandma. I know, I’m so thoughtful. My mom might not agree since I forgot I was sick and took it to her house Friday night. Sorry mom!
I was sitting in bed and happened to look at my phone. 9:59. Crabble Rock started at 10 PM at Prairie Meadows. Crabble Rock is a group that 2 of my friends from school are in. (Ryan and David Crabbs – brothers.) They are so fabulous. I had put it in my phone because I really wanted to go. So, I hurried up, got dressed again, told Pato to get his butt in the car, and off we went. Jordan babysat. I started at 11. He is almost 13. I was good with that, nervous but good, and he did an excellent job.
We got to the casino in between set 1 and set 2, so I got to watch them do the second set. They are so fabulous! Their singers, all 3 of them, too much fun. Ryan and David, so talented, so is the drummer and the keyboardist who I do not know.
Came home, passed out, all was good.
Sunday. Oh Sunday. Sunday would have been fantastic if I didn’t have to take 4 kids shoe shopping, chasing my 2 year old all over the place.
I asked God for patience once.
He gave me 4 children that are very very strong willed and have a very short memory span when it comes to what mom says to do.
Have a beautiful day!
May God bless you!

and it has something like an 8MP camera so the pictures are great, after I figured out that I could adjust the coloring on them before I took the picture. Jordan’s pic is a little washed out because I didn’t catch that until later.
