While the first day of Fall has come and gone, Mother Nature still hasn’t taken care of her hot flashes.  We had 90+ degree temperatures finishing off the week last week, and while the temperatures are finally starting to cool down, the humidity levels are still persistently annoying.  Of course the endless torrential downpour of rain yesterday probably didn’t help the humidity aspect.  I’m ready for the cooler weather.

I had trouble with my internet connection yesterday because of the bad weather – when I finally got online, I had some issues trying to leave comments on Blogger blogs.  Anyone else run into error after error yesterday, or was it just me and my gimpy laptop?

Speaking of the weather, we spent Sunday at a Corn Festival.  I know, excitement abounds in Small Town.  But it was really fun, and Mother Nature decided to give us a break after threatening to rain on our parade, so the weather was actually really nice.  Since it was overcast most of the day, it didn’t get too terribly hot, so wandering around aimlessly having fun was nice.

Just inside the entrance is the first photo op – of course Princess Nagger had to choose the horse just to annoy Dada:

There were a lot of fun things to do, especially for kids.  There were hay bales to climb on and crawl through:

A giant tube slide to slide down on (and of course I forgot to take a picture of the actual slide, just of Princess Nagger exiting):

While Princess Nagger was sliding on the giant slide, the hubby and I were slightly distracted by Julienne Irwin (the runner up on America’s Got Talent a couple of years ago) performing on stage:

We also wandered aimlessly through the 8-acre corn maze with Princess Nagger in the lead:

We all had a lot of fun, the only disappointment of the day was the face painting.  We saw lots of people running around with unique and elaborate face painting – cats, tigers, butterflies – you name it, they were cool looking.  We even saw one little boy with a dinosaur painted so the little boy’s mouth was the dinosaur’s mouth.  Princess Nagger immediately decided that’s what she wanted, too.  So off we went and…

Um, yeah.  More like a bad hieroglyphic than actual face painting, especially since no paints were used.  And definitely not what we saw on the little boy.  We must have waited too long and the gal that painted the dinosaur on the other kid must not have been there when PN went, because they all seemed baffled by the description.  At least a second trip to the bounce house quelled Princess Nagger’s disappointment.

I’ll share the rest of the pictures tomorrow – don’t want to inundate you with all of them today!

Thank goodness we have a month until Halloween.  Princess Nagger finally decided what she’d like to dress up as.  Princess Zelda:

Since there are no ‘ready made’ costumes to buy, I have my work cut out for me to make this for her.  I’ll keep you posted on how that goes.  Meanwhile, since Picture Day is Wednesday, she wanted to wear a pair of Tri-Force earrings for her picture (in fact, she had it in her head that I could whip up the costume in two days and she’d simply wear it for picture day.  I had to disappoint her that my magic wand is currently on the fritz, and that the school wouldn’t allow her to wear the costume to school, so she’ll just have to wait until Halloween.)  So she relented to no costume, but wanted to know if I could make her some earrings to wear of the Tri-Force symbol:

I thought about making them out of clay, but decided to go a different route.  Since Princess Nagger loves anything gold and shiny, I made these instead:

Princess Nagger was thrilled when she saw I made them by the time she got home yesterday (she had doubts that I would be able to pull it off before Wednesday morning…such confidence in her Mama!) and had to put them on immediately:

I think she’ll make a cute Princess Zelda, don’t you?  It’ll be worth all the work that will have to go into making a costume for her to wear.  Wish me luck.

That’s it for this edition of RTT –  head on over to see Keely the Tri-Force tends to love her, so she’ll make you feel right at home.

  1. I love fall fairs. The Ball’s Falls Harvest Festsival is an all-time fav in this neck of the woods. It is held annually over the Thanksgiving weekend in October. This past weekend was the Grape and Wine Festival, celebrating the grape harvest. Just knowing that winter is not far off, we take every opportunity to enjoy the outdoor activities available now while the sun is still keeping us warm and happy. Looks like your family is doing the same.

  2. Looks like fun was had by all at the corn festival. We did almost the same thing this weekend, but around here they call it the Autumn Leaf Festival. Happy Random Tuesday!

  3. Sounds like a great time! Too bad about the face painting though, that dinasour was pretty lame. Good luck sewing that costume. I have no skills what so ever in that area so my kids have to rely on store-bought costumes. I know, they are so deprived. 😉

  4. Wow, looks like a great time (minus the imitation dinosaur)! I’ve actually never done a corn maze and have always thought they look like fun.

    I am lucky to have a creative and talented mom like you, looking back I’m sure I asked her to create all kinds of costumes and such as well! Your daughter is going to look great!

    Thanks for stopping by, I’m following! 🙂

  6. Looks like fun was had by all. We want to try to get to a corn maze one of these falls but with at least an hour and a half drive to the nearest one it’s an all day kind of trip. Cool that you have one so near.

  7. Those earrings are amazing! I want some…

    Princess Zelda looks a lot like that elfin princess from Lord of the Rings. Nothing on line for that, either? Good luck!

  8. Fall festivals are the best! Son and I were supposed to go to one this weekend but he didn’t get homework done on Saturday and Sunday it rained. That’s an awesome costume! I can’t wait to see how it comes out! Happy RTT!

  9. We are doing the fall corn maze/pumpkin pickin mid next month. Looks like a lot of fun!
    PN will make a beautiful Princess Zelda! You could buy a wedding costume her size and then add the purple to cut down on time.
    I completely understand making the costume – I had to do it for both kids last year: Smurfette and Aang the Avatar. I bought costumes on sale last year right after Halloween. The kids have tried on their outfits many times since then.

  10. Wow! You are amazing! Making earrings and homemade Halloween costumes! And we go to a similar pumpkin patch that have a lot of what you took pictures of. We are looking forward to going in a few weeks!

  11. Already a follower but dropping in from FMBT to visit!

    LOVED these pics…the sky is so blue! Looks like it came right out of a magazine!
