Batman has really let himself go

I do love the state fair. It's over this weekend so if you haven't gone yet, you need to go. You'll feel better about your own life. It's the food I love the most. We got a ridiculously huge hot dog covered with mac and cheese. It was not good. The girls ate the whole thing though, so I'm good with that. Got some poutine as well. Did you know they sell poutine at the Costco in Canada? That's a good reason to go there. There was a lady behind me in line that could not figure out what was on the menu. Like for 5 minutes she could not figure out if they had burgers or fries or what they had. Finally I turned around and made a suggestion that she should get the poutine and explained what it is. She was still confused and asked if they just had fries. I said they did, but why get fries when you can get super fries. She was not amused. I got my poutine and enjoyed it while smirking.
I did get a lobster roll that I was worried would kill me. Ridiculously overpriced but oh so tasty. The girls rode a bunch of dangerous rides and we went home.
Mirinda turned 6 this week. I can't believe what that little weirdo has done to my life. That kid makes me so happy. We're coming up on 4 years since taking custody of her, which is crazy to me. We went for Indian for her birthday, so she and Priya were very happy. They love India rice, as they call it. After dinner we went to Hires with my mom and step dad, so the girls got to ride in their car. That night in her prayers Priya said thank you for letting me ride in Gigi's car, because I really liked it. It was adorable.
I do think I'm losing Halloween this year. For the last month Priya has been saying she wanted to be Batgirl, and Mirinda wanted to be Wonder Woman. In my mind I was doing the dance of joy from Perfect Strangers cause I'm really happy about the costume choices. Last night we went to a Halloween store, and Priya was very firm about not wanting to be Batgirl. She wants to be Elsa. I've tried to talk her out of it. I absolutely despise that show. So so so much. It is my most hated Disney show. Even more than the live remake of Aladdin. I told Priya I really hated the show, and she put her hands on her hips and yelled, "You don't have to watch it!" That's a fair point, but still. I told her to think about it for one more day. For a little while Mirinda said she wanted to be Ana, but now she's back to wanting to be Wonder Woman. So I'll be paying for her college education.
I'm so excited for Halloween though. This has been the first year I haven't been completely depressed Summer is over. I am sad about it, but I'm also excited for the girls to be excited about the fall. It's really interesting how your priorities change with kids. They can't wait, so I can't wait. I may dress up as batman this year. Really it will be a Batman who's let himself go, but still Batman. Maybe not a fighting Batman, but more of a snarky, funny Batman who will make a pie for you.
It's time do decorate for Halloween. I've decided that. And time for a viewing of Young Frankenstein.
As a sneak peak for next weeks podcast, we'll be reviewing R&R BBQ. A lot of people have asked us to review it, so we will be. I'll give you a tip: the ribs are meh.
As always, thanks for reading! Godspeed.
