Tis Time for the Fair


















The Milton fair has become an greatly anticipated and enjoyed event by our family. This is the third year we have entered our handicrafts to be put on display and potentially be recognized by the judges. The past few weeks the kids have been pouring over the category options, narrowing down which they would enjoy the most. Tommorrow all the crafts have to be in for judging and the fair takes place all weekend long.
Elias' contribution included a handprint wreath, a decorated pancake, a marshmallow polar bear, a mounted leaf, a sock puppet, a craft of his choice (handpainted egg), a farm vehicle made from recycled material (which kept him and dad up pretty late), a drawing of a farm scene. Ben choose to enter his penmenship, a weird shape vegetable, a decorated pancake, a sock puppet, a tissue paper flower, a marshmallow hand, a craft of his choice (his mask) and a pasta bracelet. Aria made a marshmallow hand, a weird shape vegetable, a mounted leaf, a decorated pancake, a picture of what she looks like at 65 years old, a craft of choice ( a sponge painting) and a pasta bracelet.
The kids have been saving their money to go to the fair, maybe some cotton candy or a ride. Its great to see the three of them plan the order of the events, remembering from the previous year what they enjoyed. No doubt you will hear all about it!
