Fall Fest Planning



These photos are of the kids at Sea World. Last week.

Good evening all. I has been an eventful last two days full of laughter and play with my kiddos and two of their little friends. I'm glad the good Lord blessed us with one of each, a boy and a girl. I function better as the mother of two children, not three. Let me share with you what Kamdyn did just in the time it took to feed the baby I was watching for my friend...
  • Poured out an entire tube of Pringles and stomped them into the carpet
  • Got a new jar of apricot jelly out of the fridge and managed to break it on the tile floor.
  • Dumped all the baskets of toys out in her room
  • and finally colored all over her legs in blue paint pen

Garrison quietly played in the back on his Sea World Adventure computer game.

In between attempting to run a business with with Erica, my best friend, clean a house and prepare to start teaching two days a week at preschool, I've also been working on our community Fall Fast, of which I am the Chair person. This will function more like a carnival than a normal standard hay ride thing.

Here are the events I have been researching:
Face Painting
Magic/Magician
Bobbing for apples
Caramel apple dipping
Hay rides around the community
Jump house
Karaoke area for the kids
“Photo spot” for families
Hot dogs / Popcorn
Drinks / Soda

Carnival games for prizes (Dart Balloons, Knocking down the bottles, Ring toss / Things like that...)
Tricycle race with a prize
Pumpkin carving contest
Petting Zoo
Non alcoholic frozen drink machine

Yes I have bitten off more than I can chew (as usual) but isn't that my style? Sean just shakes his head and says,with a grin, "I love you." and, "Get some counseling."

Today Garrison had a friend over to play and we had a really fun time. No arguing and fighting as 4 year olds a prone to do. Just a lot of thank you and please. I was pleased!

Today was a great day! Have a good one tomorrow, ya'll!
