Today I felt like this clown, but it wasn't quite as sweet.

I guess that I was about due for one of these.

Does this run in the family? I take all of these to scare off future boyfriends.

My wife made this cake. I can't say enough good things about this cake.

This one looks on with an innocent eye at her surroundings. Big One is sure to

teach Little One how to do things the messy and wrong way.

My rugs really take a beating from this one.

I plan to deduct all rug cleanings from her college fund.

I was correct about the mildly entertaining photo part. Snapping this one was actually super challenging, because I had one kid trying to run away and another trying to cry loud enough to make it rain. Plus, this thing was going fast. She had my shoes.

This was the best part. My wife stood in line for this and gave up at the last moment. This thing went up in the air and then whirled around at high speeds. Despite her obvious fear, she decided to stand in line for it a second time. I figured that I'd get at least a mildly entertaining photo from it.

I gave up trying to photograph my daughter on one of the rides. The pictures were terrible, but I was able to snap this one. It was part of a sign for one of the rides. I thought that the colors were really cool for portrait-like photo.

This was one of the few rides she was tall enough to ride.

Perhaps this is new incentive to eat rather than play with meals.

To celebrate the completion of "unfun" projects, we decided to take the kids to a local carnival. I wasn't really all that excited to see the rides, but I was really looking forward to testing my new lens. I was impressed.

Perhaps this one is a bit better- but not by much! I heard quite a bit of complaining. Big One kept saying that Little One is heavy. I was forced to bribe Big One with Candy.

I've been working on photographing these two clowns together.

It is impossible to get a good picture. Sadly, this was the best one out of about 50.

The garden project has been completed. It's a miracle that nobody went home in a stretcher! I must applaud the little one for successfully taking control of the wheelburrow. Dragging 50 lb bags of sod to the front yard was not fun. Perhaps next time I will organize these projects to take place during her nap time.

After I am done with the absolutely horrible garden box project, I will post some more pictures of the baby. She will wonder why there are no photos of her around. She will never understand the garden box project.

I found this photo while looking for something else. It makes me hungry.
