Happy Memorial Day!

We had a great day today! Dave and I enjoyed the extra day together. We had a picnic with our Sunday school group. I didn't know what to wear so I attempted to make a skirt (it actually turned out well and I was able to wear it today!).
After the picnic we stopped and got Thor (since it's the last one we needed to see to be caught up for the Avengers).
I have started my first attempt at growing veggies. I noticed today that I have my first tiny tomato! It is about 1/2 an inch! It is quite exciting for me! :D

Tennessee Renaissance Fair

We had such a good day! We went to the Tennessee Renaissance Fair. There was so much to see and do! There were some clothes that I thought about getting (and next time might not be able to control myself), jewelry, and a lot of various things (like purses, candles, accessories, etc.) that were handmade and fun to look at. 
 This weekend is the International Jousting Tournament. It was so exciting! I have never been to a Renaissance Fair much less a jousting tournament! I was like a child I was so excited about watching. Our "cheerleader" for the even explained jousting for those who did not know what it was. She said jousting is where "big knights get on big horses and hit each other with big sticks." I thought that was so funny. Just a few pictures from today's adventure.

 A fairy sitting in the middle of the fair. There were a few of these set up where they interacted with visitors. They also at some point were blowing bubbles, and dancing around.

 Some more of the workers interacting with the guests. 

 Here were some of the knights as they were being introduced  before the tournament. 

 The only knight in this part of the tournament to be knocked off of his horse. He walked off the field, but with a limp. He also declined the opportunity to remount his horse and go again. 

 Some more of the tournament. I actually took a LOT of pictures of the tournament. It was my first time to watch jousting and it was SO much fun. 

 The "Queen."

 Again, I took a ton of pictures of the event. 

 Here were the knights at the end of the event. They were getting ready to read out the scores.

Here they are lining up in order of their placement. 

I had so much fun. I know this is going to sound VERY crazy, but I want to make Renaissance wear for next year, so Dave and I can dress up and be one of the "crazy people." But, I think it will be SO much fun! I don't know if you can tell but I LOVED the Renaissance Fair! It was the first one I have been to. Since we are hoping to have a baby by next year I will have to make something for the baby too... Which I think will be so cute! So many ideas for next year. 

Summer break!

It is officially the beginning of my summer break! I subbed today for my last day until August!!

Woo hoo!  tomorrow I gave decided will be a day of relaxing with my husband before I start my summer adventures!  I also have a week or two off from my classes. So it will be an interesting and slower couple of weeks... But I have big house cleaning/organizing plans... I guess We will just have to see!

Here it is... Midnight...

Here I am. Laying in bed at midnight unable to sleep... Why one would ask... well because I have so much to do tomorrow that I have been left unable to fall asleep. So I got up and started working on the few things I could get done tonight... I finished up some schoolwork. Tomorrow is the last day of the class I'm taking and I'm so stressed about that I feel like I could throw up! Then I get called into work, and somewhere between finishing up my project and watching a third grade class tomorrow I have to make 3 dozen cupcakes by 6pm for my MK meeting! What a day! But at least I'm pretty much finished with my school work... I think! And I'm starting to get tired again. I'm hoping to be asleep in the next 20 minutes because I have to be up somewhere around 5 AM.
Enough of the complaining I suppose. Here is a picture to leave with! I'm not sure what I ever did without having this little man to protect my clothes after the dryer! I love my pets!

He does take his job very seriously! It took me forever to get the clothes out of the dryer and away from him! Such helpful pets!
