Pumpkin Festival

It's that time of year again........Pumpkin Festival!  Oh, I look forward to this every year.  It's so fun to see the whole school pitch in to create an old fashioned, wholesome, great family event.  On Friday, I was able to help out with none of my anchors (Peter and Lizzy at school, and Catherine with daddy) around, so I was amazed how productive I could be!  It was great getting the school all decorated.  When we picked up Lizzy after school, she was so excited about her fun time at the carnival with just her school-mates.  She loved all the games and excitement, but was especially proud of herself that she made it through the haunted house!  After school, we all got to enjoy the games, and Peter was a real ringer, winning two of them!  He was so proud:)  The next day, after soccer, we decided to have lunch at the carnival and play some more games.  What a great day!  The weather was perfect, the kids were all so excited, and we had the best time.  The kids even got to get these amazing face paintings done!  Lizzy cried when she had to wash is off that night, and I had to agree with her- it was so beautiful!  What a great way to spend a weekend!
