And the winner is . . .

I know that everyone has been anxiously awaiting the winner . . . (not really, but let me humor myself!) but we've had a busy day today! First we took both kids to the doctor this morning. Carolina went last Sunday for an ear infection and has still been acting like she feels bad- not eating and pulling at her ears. But she got a green light - she's just fussy I guess- her ears are getting better (her 4th ear infection!) Lawton has had a fever off and on since Thursday - soaring all the way up to 103.7! He has no other symptoms, but we took him on in (just in case) since we were heading to the doctor anyways. But he got a green light too, just a "fever virus" I guess! Sooo . . . we got the kids dressed after being cooped up in the house a couple of days. . .

. . . they were giddy with excitement . . .

. . . and do you know where we went????

to the CIRCUS!

We had a great time! I have wanted to go for several years now and we finally went! My favorite part was the elephants, and my palms seriously got sweaty watching the trapeze man hang from a looped rope with his FOOT (and had NO safety net!) I was a nervous wreck. It made me think of the first time I can remember being scared of heights. Someone (ahem - Dad) made me look over a cliff while we were camping with a group from church. I was shaking in my boots (actually, probably Tretorns {remember those?}) . SCARY!

Lawton was mesmerized!

Side note: I found this on the Ringling Bros. website - if you register your child before they turn a year old, you can get their first ticket FREE! Children under two are free anyways if you hold them in your lap, but when Carolina turns three, she will have a free ticket (if I can keep up with it for that long! :) However, we only paid $6.50 for our tickets - which weren't that bad! Go HERE if you want to sign up for a free ticket!

But, oh yeah, do you want to know who won? I put all the numbers in my cute snowman bowl and drew out . . .
