We held our Fall Festival at the Chapel on Wednesday night this year. Many of the schools and other groups were having Friday night events, so we felt we'd have a better turn out on Wednesday. And we did - we had a lot of people, all having a great time. The kids have been looking forward to this for almost a year. Really. We made a trip to the Disney Outlet last year in early November and got some great deals. :)
So the kids ate hot dogs, chips, rice krispy treats, popcorn, shaved ice, caramel apples, and lots of candy! They jumped in the bounce house, played all sorts of games, made crafts, and had a great time. Once it got dark, it was harder to keep up with the kids. D was helping run things, of course, but he was able to keep Sarah entertained at the ball game for awhile when it was his turn to run that game. She loves balls! C's costume was great for after dark. His Buzz Lightyear wings had flashing lights at the end so I could always spot C quickly! :) H felt beautiful in her Ariel costume, complete with red hair. We had a wig for the costume, but it was too heavy and constantly falling out of her hair in her playtime the previous year. So we went with red hair spray instead. She thought it was so awesome to have red hair! S didn't want to dress up at first, but after she saw the other two, she couldn't wait to put on her Minnie Mouse costume. The closest I came to wearing a costume this year was a shirt that said "I have 2 peas in my pod." :)We had thought about going to a friend's church on Friday night, or maybe even trick or treating at just a few friends' houses. But after Wednesday night, we were exhausted. So Friday we watched a family movie on Netflix, hiding out in our bedroom with all the lights out. We did say that if we watch more family movies in our bed, we need a king size bed! Enjoy the pictures!
