We made it to the North Carolina state fair this year-and there is nothing I love more than fair food! The corn-dogs, funnel cake, candy apples! YUMMY! This fair was a bit different than what I am used to from California. Any fair causes people to come out of the wood work-but this is Carolina...and it was insanely cold-not the triple digits I am accustom to walking the grounds to. So, we arrive at the fair and after watching a women tie a "hand of tobacco" we bought Jack some corn. While enjoying this appetizer I smelled something funny and it wasn’t mullet man standing next to me. While packing the diaper bag before leaving the house, it had COMPLETELY slipped my mind that Isla had NOT pooped in a few days (we parents know that this means MAJOR business once it’s time comes). So of course 20 minutes into our fair trip Isla has a 4-Alarm blow-out and I have failed to pack the proper provisions. Her pants were beyond “spot cleaning” and yuck had even made its way to her socks and bottom layer shirt. We had no choice but to head back home (without a single taste of fair fat). Sadly we walked our poor (half naked) baby home in below 30 degree temps-and it dawned on me-we had become “out of the wood work” people to watch.
