Fair Followup

Can I start by saying how ridiculously proud I am of my boys!
(And that I started this post weeks ago! Sorry, but the thought counts right? )

Every single one of my boys placed Best in Class! and the cherry on top.... #4 got Best in Show!

Every one in our family who entered walked out with at least one yellow ribbon, and some with three! This is a family best and we are elated.

Side note- It wasn't until we went to pick up the entries that we realized #1 got Best in Class on all of his entries. We missed the yellow ribbon on his train painting by assuming it went to the entry in front of his- oops. 

Watching these brothers rally behind each other's victories and accomplishments was a moment to treasure with more enjoyment taking them with eager anticipation to show their great-grandma all they had accomplished. 

They just oozed pride and excitement as they presented her with all the goods - and I dare say the parents were beaming with pride too.

We have a great bunch of boys that keep us on our toes and can accomplish anything if they set their mind to it.

Next years projects are already being dreamed up and per the usual, they are grand ambitious plans.

#1 wants to make a half track go-kart and has already drafted a few blueprints and commenced research on making tank tracks. 
I have no idea how he is going to pull this one off, but I will most likely have to reign him in in a few weeks. 
This boy is a dreamer with a limited budget and at times he forgets that. haha

#2 wants to make a gun belt complete with the do-dads that hold the casings. 
The leather has already been bartered for with his Papa - at a "steep" price of 25 buckets of weeds - and he would have started cutting and fitting the pieces if we hadn't insisted on a plan being drafted first.

I have yet to hear word on what #3 wants to do, but #4 informed me that I need to make a unicorn cake next year. "Unicorns win Mom, and if you had done a unicorn this year you would have a green ribbon too."  What a crack up.

I LOVE MY BOYS!
