Living room
Looking from kitchen toward front door.
I painted Jaxons room today and (Friday) painted the front room (sitting room) and guest bathroom along with an accent wall where the fireplace will go! I will get kazens room painted tomorrow so my mom and I can paint pirates on it while she's here this week! After that we will paint my craft room and the painting should be done. Woohoo!!!!!
Ssssooooooooo I knew moving to a small town would be different, guess I just wasn't quite expecting such funny things! This weekend is the "worlds largest fish fry" here in our own Paris, Tn! This is a week-long event consisting of demolition derby, catfish races (literally fish racing), hush puppy 5k (for people;), fried catfish (doy), carnival, parade, rodeo, etc. There is literally a HUGE tent that you go in (for a fee) and get all you can eat catfish, hush puppies, and slaw (don't call it coleslaw or you'll get the stink eye)! Lol. Since we are not fish people we didn't eat all that, but we did take the boys to the carnival with Dylan's brother Luke and his kids, and Dylan's mom Ramona (or GiGi).
Jaxon on a "baby ride" lol...he loved it though!
Kazen could have rode all day long!
Riley, Luke's son.
Nate (Lukes son) and Jax on the "big kid" carousel (there were no seat belts so Kazen couldn't go....yes, there were tears!
Jax and Nate on the roller coaster (never-mind those porta-potty's in the background)
Kazen on the choo-choo AGAIN (he rode it 3 times)
Dylan proving he is all that is man (yes, he won a prize).....
Luke also won a prize...and dented the bell! Once again proving, he's the worlds strongest man!
The boys made a new friend at the goldfish game...And GiGi made sure all her grand boys left with a prize......
...which became an investment for mommy and daddy-the fish had to live SOMEWHERE! Jaxon asked for a brown fish and Kazen asked for orange and they cleverly named their fish...orange and brown! The carnival was fun, and I got my annual funnel cake, so I can't complain!!!!
Friday morning we went to the parade. It was pretty much tractors pulling floats! I only got a pic of one float for some crazy reason! It's basically all the queens (from different pageants in the area), people advertising for their business, high school bands, high school football teams, people running for local office, churches, etc. Was fun, think I'm gonna find a way to get in it next year!
GiGi and the boys
We were pretty cold...and according to Dylan in this...hardcore!
Streets lined with people
GiGi, boys, and Dylan watching the parade
Cute 80's float
Next year maybe we will participate in all events...but it was a good start for us this year ;-)
Ken and Ramona were here the last 10 days and my mom is coming in on Tuesday! All this entertaining and I'm not even in my house yet! Lol. Matt will be here with Kali at the end of the month....praying we are in our house then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
