Not sure how much use we’ll get out of this set, but I figured there might be many a photo of Miles or Nora sitting in the Bumbo.

She consistently omits the nose, but that’s OK. They sorta remind me of exploding dog or amazingsuperpowers that way.

There were brats, funnel cakes, midway rides and cattle. So, that’s about all you need for a fair in my book.

As expected, Nora had an absolute blast. She even showed a cow in the President’s Class.

Miles, though… was another story. If he wasn’t sleeping, he was melting. We had to strip him down to his diapers to get him comfortable at one point. We’ll have to toughen him up for the next fair outing.

It took awhile, but her eyes have evolved from slashes into circles. Sometimes, there’s an extra eye, but that’s OK. The better to see you with, my dear.

Soon, I can run faster and jump much higher than the other sheep.”

Which just happens to be a quote from one our favorite books in the house, Marvin Wanted More.

He’s wearing sunglasses!
Mom & Dad: Oh?
Nora: He needs some hair!
Mom & Dad: What man?
Nora: The white man.
Mom & Dad: (looking aroud) Where?
Nora: Right there (pointing to head of Storm Trooper sitting on the dash of the car).
