Silly Monkey Stories: 3 Painted Monkeys

On Sunday night, one of the children said the funniest thing.  I thought it would make the perfect Silly Monkey Story for this week.  Of course, I forgot to write it down and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was about.

As a consolation Silly Monkey Story, I present to you these photos that were taken after the recent Pumpkin Fair at school.  I did not attend the fair this year because I had have an awful cold.  My very brave husband decided to take all 3 children by himself.  When they got home, they just could not wait to show me the boys' painted hair and my daughter's painted face.  Of all the prizes they won and the games they played that day, those were the things they were most excited about.

I just want to go on record as saying that, I was against my son getting a mohawk all along and painting it green does not make me any happier about it.

Silly Monkey Stories: No More Pictures Please!

A couple of weekends ago, we attended a fair at the twins' preschool. There were tons of fun preschool-level games to play, along with face painting, and crafts. We were waiting in line to have the boys' faces painted (our daughter was being her usual timid self and did not want any part of it), when all of a sudden our 3-1/2 year old son became camera shy. If you've read any of our past Silly Monkey Stories, then you know that he is usually quite the ham. On that day, he covered his face with his hat and turned away from the camera.

Luckily, he came around eventually . . .

Photos From the Town Fair Last Week

Last week all five of us attended the town fair. The twins did not know what to expect, but I think our oldest was a little disappointed. It was a rainy day, but we wanted to support the fundraiser, so we went anyways. The fair began at 10:30am and was suppose to run through 4pm. We arrived around 12:30pm and a third of the tables were empty. I suppose some of the vendors did not prepare for the damp weather. I felt terrible for the volunteers for the dunk tank because they must have been freezing cold. Still, we managed to have fun . . .

We were glad to have brought our Radio Flyer canopy wagon. The twins were able to eat hot dogs without getting too soggy. Plus it kept their cotton candy from getting wet and drippy. Somehow both twins managed to get plastered in pink stickiness anyways.

There was a tiny little petting zoo. The goats were very receptive, but this silly pig would not come closer to the fence.

We were glad that the face painting station stayed open. Both our boys opted for a Spiderman-esque look. Our daughter wanted no part of it.

There was also a woman who made balloon animals. We actually did not end up with any animals, but rather the children opted for balloon swords and a balloon princess crown.

Our 6yr old was adamant about creating some sand art. He added each color so carefully. I think he was very proud of his creation.

Ultimately we had fun, but we were all very tired and slightly damp by the time we left.
