Fair or not- this is the finale

I love Andrew's face as he gets ready to take a ride on the carousel!



Nolan was a little afraid, but he felt much better when he grabbed onto Elizabeth to give her a huge hug during the carousel ride.



Andrew admiring the balloon that he got from the Sheriff's Department.



Dad and Andrew go down what turned out to be the most popular ride of the night, The Super Slide!





Lucky for us, Andrew showed us the remains of his cotton candy.

Fair fun day 2

We keep saying that they are getting big so fast...and least this gives us a little perspective!



Nolan was so excited to pet the pig, we got worried for a second that he might fall into the pen trying to get close.


A rare moment when Andrew was actually aware that there was a camera on him.



Can you find the smiley 4-year-old that belongs to us on this dragon?



There he is!!



The view from the Dump Truck ride. Tomorrow we will finish up on the fair!

Fair + Cotton Candy = Fun

So we made it to the Vanderburgh County 4-H Fair and, of course, cotton candy was on the menu. Nolan enjoyed eating it almost as much as he liked feeding it to mom. More to come tomorrow.

The Crayola Factory- Day 3

The Crayola Factory- Day 2

Nolan's favorite part of the Crayola Factory was the chalk area. I physically had to pull him out of there after Andrew had already moved onto three other areas.



Look at that chalky butt! You can only imagine what the car seat looked like once we made it al the way to Pittsburgh.



He can look pretty intense when he is dealing with chalk.



We finally got him away from the chalk over to this ball maze, which he was mesmerized with. I love his reflection while he watches!

The largest crayon in the world!!

On our way from New York to Pittsburgh, we made a much anticipated stop at the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. As you can probably imagine, i was a huge thrill for the kids. Here is Andrew admiring the largest crayon in the world. Check back tomorrow of the 2nd of 3 posts!

On The Boardwalk

We never finished blogging about our trip before we got to Andrew's Birthday, so we have a few more posts including our exciting trip to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA!
this was from our last day in New York, where Grandma & Grandpa took on last stroll on the boardwalk with Nolan & Andrew.

We had a great time at Andrew's 4th Birthday Party at Newburgh Park Monday night. Thanks so much to all of his friends and their parents that came out to celebrate! We hope you all had a great time.

Here is one of my favorites from the night. We will have a full post on Wednesday.

***Bonus blog coverage*** At this hour four years ago, Andrew Pugliese was born!

Andrew is 4 today!

Andrew woke to a special present for his 4th Birthday! We made him close his eyes and below is a sequence of five photographs of his reaction and then two more of his gift.

Happy Birthday Andrew, you are such a wonderful boy! We are so proud to be your parents!!
