I'm laying in bed, trying to catch up on all the hours of sleep I've lost in the past week when I hear a sound. The whooshing sound of air. I leap out of bed yelling, "The balloons are here, the balloons are here. Hurry up and go outside so we can see them!" I pull on my clothes, slap on my glasses and blearily stumble out the front door with all four kids. I hear them all around me, but my sleep-hazed eyes cannot see a thing but blur. I blink a few times, trying to clear out all the gunk that gets in your eyes at night! :) Finally I can't see the beautiful balloons passing right over my head! What a wonderful sight to see in the early morning. Makes it worth it to get out of bed on a Saturday morning!!! :)
The older kids jumped on bikes and rode up and down the street trying to catch glimpses of more balloons coming! Samuel & Callie have a discussion over Samuel bumping into his sister!
The 3 older kids were excited that the people in this balloon waved and said "Hi!" to them! I ran across the street so I could get a picture of the balloon and my house and part of my kids all at the same time! Shooey.....that was a lengthy sentence!
Here is Callie twirling around in her new balloon skirt I made her in honor of the balloon fest being this weekend! I've been eyeing the fabric at Wal-Mart all summer thinking it would be perfect for this. I finally splurged and bought some yesterday. It was finally on clearance!! Yeah for waiting!
And another twirly pose, just because..................! I'm a proud mama! :)
Sorry about this one being on it's side. I did rotate it, but for some reason it's wanting to lay down. :) Just turn your head or your computer screen. Samuel wanted a pair of balloon shorts. Not the typically boy fabric, but I thought it would be ok for a balloon fest! The crazy pockets took forever to add with all the ironing, topstitching, pleating, but he was one happy guy to have 2 pockets on his shorts!!!
