Oh, I miss the state fair after growing up in Texas for 20 years. There’s just nothing that compares here in the northeast.

New to your blog – thanks for the big laughs this morning!

Mmmm…Texas State Fair. I really want to make the trek up there next year. I guess this year I’ll just have to wait for the Rodeo and Fiesta. My two favorite places for deep fried…things and any kind of food you could ever want, served on a stick!!

I’m trying to picture how one might actually go about frying butter… I mean, wouldn’t it MELT??? And really… why? Just WHY???

Such cute pictures, I love Kendall pointing to the butter! I have to say, that yes, it is going to be amazing to be pregnant during the fair- I actually have a booth there for work, so I will be spending lunch there for a full week. I can think of nothing more amazing than Fisk fries, funnel cakes and fried Oreos every day. It’s okay, I’ll detox with salads the next week…maybe…

It’s funny, when Jonas was first born, I swore he would never even know what a McDonald’s looked like.

Then his brother came along, and I was strapped for time (and energy) and during that maternity leave, Jonas had his first-ever Chicken Nugget.

Let me tell you that this kid can now spot a McDonalds from a mile away. They both get it a couple times a month now (damn those McDonald’s Playlands… they’re just too good at tiring the children out.)

So I stress faaaar less now about what the children eat. Everything in moderation. Jonas’s favorite dinner accompaniment is Broccoli (I know, it’s weird, but Hallelujah!) so if he wanted to eat a little fried dough ever once in awhile, why not? Whatever makes them happy. It’s not like you’re mainlining grease into an infant’s arm. He’s a toddler now – the rules are a bit more relaxed.
