It's been a while since I've "posted". We have been very busy people... The girls have since started school, Allie in the 8th grade and Mallory in the 4th. Allie has been busy with band practice in the mornings and volleyball practice every evening. Mallory has been taking piano lessons and twirling lessons. Along with all of this, we've been getting ready for the fair!!
Over all, everything is going really well... Oh and I forgot to mention "IKE". CRAZY is the atmosphere in the Monk household...
Allie did really well showing her pig "Butterbean". She looked like a pro! She didn't make the sale, but she did really well. She did sell her pig under the barn for $250. Mallory didn't get to show her pig "Daisy". For some reason, the stupid pig wouldn't grow. At the time of the fair, Daisy weighed in at around 100 pounds. NOT the ideal weight for a show hog! Anyone want a pet?
Mallory did extremely well in the baking division of the fair. She was awarded Reserve Grand Champion in both the cookie division and pie division. She won $100.
You go Girls! We are extremely proud of them AND extremely glad it's over!
Now we are focusing on band and volleyball now. I can't believe my baby is marching in the High School Band! How crazy is that! She is doing really well.
That's a lot to take in so, I keep ya'll updated...
Talk to you soon!
