As Grant already wrote, we went to the Medieval Fair last weekend and except for the bitter cold, rain and whipping wind, we had a great time. When we left our house the weather was pretty nice- as an afterthought we grabbed sweaters for everyone just in case. When we arrived at the fair an hour later it was raining and a cold front had moved in. Forget sweaters, we should have brought our winter coats!
How could we miss an opportunity to dress up? The kids put together their costumes the day before. Dave indulged the kids and allowed them to do this, but absolutely forbid me from even suggesting that we dress up. Dave has a very high personal geek tolerance- but even he has his limits. After going to the fair and seeing the general type of adult who does this, I think I agree with him.
Does this dress look familiar to anyone? Nina is wearing our traditional Bachelorette Makeover party dress. With a few alterations it makes a great Medieval Girl dress. Smile Fair Lady, you look great!
Rachel was our Jester. She played her part well.
Grant would have really loved to dress as a wizard type Merlin guy, but we already had the knight costume. 
It was so cold that I thought Meg would be warmer if I held her close to me in the front carrier rather than in her stroller. I then wrapped her blankie around her and tried to button my sweater around that. So that is what it would look like if I was 16 months pregnant. And the tree lady is pretty cool too.
With the stroller empty the girls took turns huddling in it for warmth. Rachel makes a really cute Jack-in-the-stroller.

Will Nina get to wear this dress at her bachelorette party also? I hope I am still around to see it :) She looks adorable. Too bad you guys had such lousy weather the fair, it looks like lots of fun. Where on earth did you get those baggy pants or did all your heard work pay off and you lost 40 pounds?
You are such a fun writer. :) Glad you survived the cold!
What cute pictures! Wish i could have come with you.
You all look so happy while you are freezing. How did you get so many smiles?
