try not to faint

…because i’m actually posting something new here.

it’s gotten to the point where i am SO behind, i don’t even know where to start. a few persistent (and far away) family members have threatened my life inspired me to get blogging again. i’ll just start with the most recent and fill in the gaps here and there.

casey’s school puts on a huge fall festival every year. it’s for the entire seminary community, and everything is free. penelope and i had a blast.

check out her FIRST lollipop:

so i put it in my mouth?

where have you been all my life?!?

at the end of the night, she was a very sticky girl. but i digress.

the carousel was also new territory. she was very contemplative, and not sure what to make of it. had she ridden it a second time, i think she would’ve enjoyed it.

at sunset they handed out little glowsticks, turned out all the lights, and started the fireworks show. penelope is one brave kid– she loved the show! not as much as glowsticks, however, which she still hasn’t parted with. they are lifeless clear tubes, and she still plays with them.

and that’s that. we came home, she took the best bath ever (glowsticks included), and collapsed into a pile of exhaustion. such a fun night.
