Oh, the carnival.  It was so fun … until the bag of cotton candy was done and the children started to break down.  I think that’s what happens when kids are on an ‘excitement’ high all day long!  Sabrina was so very excited about the carnival … and the dinner out with friends … and the ferris wheel … and the cotton candy … and the rides.  I think she exhausted herself all day just *thinking* about how much fun she was going to have.   And she made it until almost nine o’clock, I think.  And those of you in my world know that’s a late late night for my kids.   But it was worth it just for all the giggles!
