Wow! This is our very 1st Fair Week.
Buddy Man has raised a good looking hog and we are doing all the last minute details. Bilbo, the show hog, has steadily gained and has easily made weight. (Momma worried needlessly.....well someone had too.)
Ok. So maybe we waited a little too long on some of those details.
Chalk it up to our first year.....our LEARNING year (6th Gr.)
Boy have we learned A LOT.
Buddy Man is responsible and capable of walking 2 miles everyday after school over to the High School to take care of Bilbo.
This is HUGE for both him and momma.
(Also enjoys finding his squished coins when passing the RR tracks)
Momma doesn't take enough pictures.
Finding buyers takes TIME.
Oops, times up....well maybe they will get them and Buddy Mans will be fresh in their mind.
Finding who has the HS Clippers to clip "Bilbo" almost impossible.
Old household clippers don't cut pig hair :/
Rounding up official dress for a sprouting 13yr that hates trying anything on
is not fun.
OMGosh! His shoe size is now a 9.
(more evidence he is growing up and becoming a man...
.noooo I want my cuddly baby back)
Buddy Man NEEDS to enter in ALL the side categories FFA has.
(woodworking, metal working, plants, etc.)
Its most likely he'll receive a ribbon with a premium
and it all adds up.
FFA isn't as organized as I expected.
(maybe I need to volunteer, wink wink)
Majority of it was positive however something has stood out and has
quite alarmed Momma.
Handwriting.
(more on that later)
Next year we will have our ducks in a row.
Now that we know so much.....we have a plan :)
Which includes teaching Buddy Man about Time Management, deadlines and such.
