Pure sugar

We took the girls to a Winter Carnival at DePaul last Saturday.  It was so much fun, and everything was free (which makes it even more fun in my book).  The girls tasted their first cotton candy.  Well, the first bite was a shy taste, then they ravenously devoured the rest of the sugary pink fluff.

Mr. Singer and Kerry Appleberry performed at the Winter Carnival.  They invited kids onstage to sing some songs.  Alli sang and played tambourine.  Ruby got onstage too, but then she stepped to the edge and shouted, "Jump!" and then she jumped off the edge of the stage.  Ruby chooses adrenaline over music.  I dove to catch Ruby and skinned my knee.  Very fun and cool in front of an audience.

Ruby got a second chance onstage later.  This time she had to sit on the stage.  She did the motions for Isty-Bitsy Spider... and then jumped off the stage from a seated position.  Much safer.

Alli tried out as a cheerleader.  The cheerleaders painted her face.... and it looks like they styled her hair too. 

We played on the inflatable bouncy toys and slides.  We wore ourselves out.  A very fun evening indeed.

You always have to expect the unexpected with Ruby. She is such a dare devil! I really miss her. Love Grandma Utah
