The Farm Show

We took the girls to the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg today. It's the 90th edition of a show that looks awfully familiar to this displaced Southerner! They had a ball walking through the exhibits with Grandpa Tony, petting some of the show cattle and sheep, and eating fresh dougnuts made with Pennsylvania Potato Flour.

It's amazing they had the energy for the day after the announcement last night from Sophia and Francesca that they were going to "stay up all night". (Seems as if they skipped grade school all together and landed in college.) They weren't prepared for my answer which was "That is a GREAT idea, but be sure to do things quietly in your room while Mommy sleeps. (They were expecting a little more resistance, I suppose.)

Anyway, the best laid plans, etc. etc. They were both out for the night in their individual beds and snuggled under the covers clutching Bears by 9:45. Sophia reported to me today, "There just isn't enough stuff in our room for us to stay up and play all night". Ahhh, so that was the problem.

Sweet Dreams.
