Rodeo Girl

A couple weeks ago (oops, already behind again) we went to the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Last year, Zara went but was really too young to have much clue what was going on. This year, she loved it. We had to do the Merry-Go-Round and another kiddie ride twice each, both petting zoo's, and even won her a big stuffed animal from our one attempt at a carnival game. John is apparently a good shot on the 'ol water cannon thingy.

As for the Rodeo, she loves the horsies and cows and was entertained by that (and like 5 trips to the potty for some reason). The concert was Lady Antebellum, who was good, but we did have to leave less than halfway in as expected when small fry tipped over on our shoulder tired. At least we beat the traffic out that way.



Since then we had an interesting week starting last Wed as Zara ran a high fever off and on and followed it up with a rash, which means virus and was in fact Roseola. Totally a non issue virus except the kids are miserable for a week and by proxy the parents. Zara got over that wanting to play instead of sleep when around Mommy and would only sleep there or with Dad. Except that means 9 months preggo Mommy didn't get comfortable enough to sleep and I even ended up on the couch at one point. But everyone is better now and has had two days of legitimate sleep and back to school and work for us.
