Looking back at pictures of last year's carnival, I discovered that I gave Sophie double braids again. Other than that, we did things completely different this time around. Rather than spend money on tiny hamburgers and games that would earn the kids a colorful strand to clip in their hair, which they would toss by the time we got home; we ate lunch at home and worked Lydia's class booth to pass the time. We did run into several friends and were persuaded to let the kids do a few rides, but Lydia really had fun "working". Sophie might have taken the job too seriously though, because she exhausted herself soon after we started.
Sleeping Sophie
With most of the afternoon free, I cleared out the fridge and whipped together a five course Chinese meal. Mom would be proud. :)
