Congratulations, Paul!!

My friend Paul's girlfriend had their beautiful baby girl Friday night at around 11:00 p.m. She's so pretty!! CONGRATS DADDY!

Last night the Schmogel family headed out to the Blue Mound Fall Festival. Fall fest? Yes indeed... a fall fest in the middle of the bleeding SUMMER! It was very hot at first. We had a fried chicken dinner which was good. But I wouldn't have gotten in it if I would've known there were other tantilizing tasties on the premises. I thought that the fried chicken dinner was it. Until I saw people walking around with Walking Tacos (Meat and toppings dumped in a fun sized Frito-Lay sack.) and J mentioned something about corn dogs. I'll know for next year.

We went over to play Bingo after dinner. It was 25 cents for 2 cards. The cheapest bingo game I've ever played. But of course, the give out prizes and a couple bucks. Movie rentals and such. I didn't win anything but I didn't care. It was only 25 cents. Then the clouds started rolling in! A severe storm was headed our way and J didn't get to ride any rides yet. I wanted a funnel cake before I left too!! So I walked around with Mom.

She bought me a pretty lavendar bracelet with a lavendar dragonfly on it. I'm not into dragonflies but this one was really pretty. Then we headed over the other way to get my funnel cake. YAY! I was so excited. There were so many food vendors for a tiny little fest! They had everything! I'll definetly remember that next time! After we ate the funnel cake and played more Bingo people were getting skurd of the dark skies and started to leave. We were just getting started. I wish I would've gotten pictures of the clouds to show Paul. He appreciates weather alot!

We went to the kiddie rides but Simone was too little. That made us a little sad. Then it start raining! Big fat cold drops! It felt so good after a hot day. Mom and J rode some rides. At the end of the night, Chris felt bad that Simone couldn't ride anything. I suggested that he win something for her. We went over to the carnie games. I picked out the duck because it said that everyone wins something. He tried to get Simone to pick up the duck but no dice. She was staring at the man behind the counter. She was scared of him. So, Chris pick out the duck and he won a big prize! We got her a little tookie tookie bird. Chris was happy and Simone was happy. She loves her little Toucan!

We got soaked last night but I had a lot of fun! It's been a long time since I've been to one of those things! Even though it incorrectly named, The Blue Mound Fall Festival was a BLAST!
