I'm Smitten...

With this adorable creature....

She quite simply takes my breath away with how sweet and happy she is...

I am so blessed.

And so is he.

The Greatest Show On Earth

Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey circus right here in Manchester....

Took just Cole and started the night with cotton candy.... (free hat included for only $10!!!)

Sugar rush ensued (duh) and spent 15 minutes before show started trying to corral Cole in our little aisle... reminded me of why I strongly dislike flying lately... please see maniacal look below.

but then the show started & the magic began

FUN... then at intermission this delightful treat caught my eye. And yes, I was WAY more excited about it than Cole was... at first.  Then he became a wild man and was gnawing away at it like he hadn't drank in years.  A fact we should have remembered before leaving without taking him to the bathroom.  Hmmm.  

All in all a great night, capped off with the purchase of one of those light-up things all children crave at circuses/disney on ice shows/basically all children's performances where parents feel guilty denying their children fun souvenirs... oh but I was a happy and willing buyer.  I'm PRETTY sure I was denied one when I was a child... regardless, he loved it... for a half hour. ;)
