Walworth County Fair

This was back over Labor Day weekend. We took the kids to the fair, to see the usual animals (and eat the usual fried cheese!). Dan, Anuta and Dominik went too. Jimmy went on his first-ever ferris wheel, which he loved!

Last Pool Day

We spent Labor Day at the pool, since we knew it would be our last chance to go ther until next year. We spent a good deal of time at the pool this year, at least until we had those crazy August rains!

Josie's Birthday

Well, I guess her birthday was almost a month ago now. Poor second child. She had a nice party up by Auntie Jeannie's though . . . with a cat cake and candy (not that she cared), and swimming in the lake.

Jimmy's First Visit to the Art Institute

Finally, some new posts . . . but Jimmy and I went to the Art Institute ages ago now, back in August, right before school began. He really wanted to see some Van Gogh's, but when we got there we found they'd removed most of them while they work on renovations. Oh well. He got to see this painting by Seurat, though, who did influence Van Gogh a bit. He also made a little art of his own in the kids' section by selecting from a box of objects and placing them on the wall.
