You’re a queen!

Mom:  Is sister funny?

Gabrielle:  No, sister’s a dachshund.

Dad:  What are you Gabrielle, are you a dachshund?

Gabrielle:  I’m a person, I’m a princess!

(Then, laughing hysterically)

Gabrielle:  Daddy’s a queen. You’re a queen daddy. Daddy’s a queen.

(Followed by uncontrolled giggling)

Rib fest!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Howard Scott Silverman @ 9:44 pm

We grabbed our passports and headed out of the city to find a county fair this weekend.  The annual “ribfest” in Naperville was everything we expected and more.  Although we couldn’t stay for Huey Lewis and the News this evening or stomach the “french fry bucket”, we did manage to score some award winning ribs (yummmmmy), roasted corn on the cob, and ice cream.

Consistent as ever, Gabrielle focused on the ice cream.

Fairly good ice cream!

Daddy did his job and managed to win (by a margin of nearly 50%!) the Wack-A-Mole game – giving Gabrielle her choice of stuffed animals (white horse won out over pink pig).  And no – I am not ashamed of beating little boys and girls (badly) at a carnival game!

We also discovered the petting zoo – where evidently they put some very special sauce in the rabbit food!

Monster rabbits!
