Fall Fashion with Fair Passions!

It has been a very busy October for the Lawrence family! Gwendalyn has been on fall break for the last 2 weeks, and we had to do something fun! Winter is coming fast and it's time to experience the cool October air!




FIRST, we decorated the house! I forget how many decorations grandma has! I hadn't even opened the cupboards in the laundry room, when she decided to raid them last year! I couldn't believe how many glass pumpkins, stuffed witches, and Frankensteins were stashed in there! Gwen and Grandma both get a kick out of decorating for the holidays! I heard, "this is SO much fun mom, thanks for the fun!" & "I love Halloween so much" a hundred times that day! I have never been one to get into "stuff" decorating.....but that all changes when you see the joy in their little thrilled faces!







After we had a little bit of time to relax after our hard work we decided that we should spend some time with Roger (Matt's dad)!
It opened on the 10th of this month, and the 11th was buy one get one admission day! I am always a sucker for deals so I figured we'd go. Four years since we'd been able to go....between Matt's work schedule, my school, it's distance, & having a undependable car, it just wasn't an option as a family! Only hurdle, BUDGET!!! HA! It's almost comical! I flinched at EVERY PRICE! It's hard for me to believe that people actually go and spend money on food, drinks, nick naks & frivolities! $100 not on a budget would last 3 minutes there! ME, NO PROBLEM!

Here's a list for the EXPENSIVE STATE FAIR!

- $30 Gas
- $12 Admission *42
- $ 8 Drinks for 4 people*50
- $ 8 Stuff for Halloween costumes *58
- $30 60 tickets, (6-9 tickets a ride 50 cents a ticket!!! this shocked me a bit) Matt rode 3 rides, 9x3= 27 I rode 1 ride 1x9= 9 Gwen rode 4 6x4=24 / 24+27+9=60 *88
- $9 Lunch for 3 people *97
- Daughter loosing her voice for 24 hours from so much fun, PRICELESS!

A well spent budget for a whole day of fun! (Pics will come shortly).
