August has been busy!

So August has been a busy month for us here in the Scharlau household, as you can tell by my lack of blogging! The weeks have just flown by and its hard to believe we are looking at Labor Day weekend already-just a week away! At the beginning of the month we went to the Wisconsin State Fair. We went to see the animals-Addison was a little freaked out by how big the cows and horses were. She liked looking at them from afar.
Addison enjoyed her first State Fair corndog-and boy was it yummy! She also had some strawbery gellato which she really liked too! We didn't see as much at the Fair as we normally do. As most of you know, you never get to do as much as you want to do with a one year old around! But we did have fun!

This is Addy checking out the baby bunny in our backyard. As you can tell, they really aren't afraid of people. It takes a lot to scare them away. They keep coming back to eat my plants. Arrgh....how frustrating! Thank goodness for Liquid Fence or I'd have nothing left in my yard! Now I just have to keep the chipmunks from eating my tomatoes!!
Addy is going to be my gardening buddy(in the future!). She still loves to dig in the dirt and get into the flowers like her Momma and Grandpa!

What else did we do this month....? We went to the Elkhorn Antique Flea Market, which is ALWAYS fun. You never know what you will find! There's always lots of fun things to put in the garden. The flea markets are four times a summer, and there is one more to go in September. I think Tom and I may try to go on our own so we can really get to look at things. :)

When we weren't out and about, we were home working on the house. Tom has been busy painting our garage, and has started painting the trim around some of the windows on the house. We're hoping to get the rest painted by the end of fall. This week we are getting some new windows put in in our dining/living room area. Hopefully it will help to make our home a little more energy effiecient come winter!

Next weekend is the Harley Davidson 105th Anniversary, so we will partake in some of the festivities down at the lakefront. Hannah will be coming to stay with us for the weekend to help take care of Addison. I guess thats it for us... 'til the next post....
