Brecht sleepover/ Fair

This week was a little out of our norm. Seth took vacation to get some work done at the Biscay house and I had a conference in Plymouth for 3 days for TCAB (transforming care at the bedside) our daycare was on vacation so Eleanor spent a day with our neighbor Tina and friday at grandma Rusch's.

Saturday morning was quite productive for me... I canned tomato sauce and "green sauce" my hot sauce recipe. Seth got up bright and early and started smoking a pork roast, ribs, and sausage. the Brechts arrived in the afternoon and we had a wonderful dinner outside. I especially liked the fact that I was not bothered by mosquito's. Eleanor was very tired and went to bed early and Oliver played in the kiddie pool. later we had a blast playing Just Dance on the Wii. very entertaining.

Sunday we went to the McLeod county fair and it was hot!! we had a good time, but Eleanor started to have a little melt down by the end. She loved to ride the carousel but hated getting off. she was so hot I had to take her in the bathroom and splash her with water. I have to say we were all happy to get home... even though we had tons of cleaning to do! now we are just winding down, back to reality in the morning.
