Tough Enough to Show Pink

This summer we had a great time going "PINK" for one our rodeo's Tough Enough to Wear Pink nights. And since my girly-girl is getting ready for her 1st trip to the county fair as an exhibitor, we've been getting all of her girly-goodness ready to go.

Two of the animals she's taking to the county fair this year are a market lamb and a breeding ewe—twins, actually, out of one of her 5-year old brother's ewes. This will be obvious to all fair exhibitors who ponder why a 9-year old girly-girl would name her lambs Sir Topham Hatt and Lady Hatt (from Thomas the Tank Engine).

So we have an older sheep stand that was slated to make a trip to the fair...

But it was icky and in need of a makeover (it's upside down above in case you're wondering).

So Miss A & I decided it needed a little girliness—something a little fun for her first lamb showing outing next week. So we made a trip to Wal-Mart—and we came home with watermelon pink spray paint. Miss A even recruited some manual labor for the project.

This is mainly for proof of his complicity to the task.

And then we started painting.

We hung pieces to the fence to get good coverage all around...

Miss A even helped with the painting after some instruction from Dad...

We tried sprinkling a little glitter, but it didn't stick as well as we had hoped...

So another trip to Wal-Mart ensued—and this time we stumbled across glitter spray paint. Score!

We added our bling.

I think it's ready to head to the fair next week. I'm sure the lambs are excited to have such stylish gear. But I don't think they're nearly as excited as Dad. He's really looking forward to carting it across the fairgrounds and working his magic on it as the lambs get ready to show Monday. :)
