Fall Festival Fun

Walking to the kids’ school for the much anticipated Fall Festival

Isabelle won the cake walk… she was chosen to pick the winner and she picked her own number!

Jude was a bit nervous about fishing with a stranger (he’s our shy one)

But managed to crack a smile when he caught this cute puppy

Shepherd was content to hang in the stroller with a lollipop

Dalton won a 2 liter bottle of Coke (great!)

And Asher rocked out with Sophie’s inflatable guitar

These smiles are worth every cent spent on cheap, headed- for- the- goodwill- pile, ‘prizes’… and then some ๐Ÿ™‚

    I adore the pictures of those girls at the top. And Shepherd chillin’ with the sucker. And Jude with a big ol’ grin and Asher and Dalton. The question is, how come no pictures of you and Chris? ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love family activities like these. They get to be crazy and have fun and make memories.

    BTW, I have come back to read this post a couple of times and look again at the pics of your kids. Thought it was kinda lame that I hadn’t commented and told you how much I liked seeing them!

    Have a wonderful Wednesday.

    You are a way nicer mom than I am.. I might have seen to it that the mask and the guitar were given to another family to enjoy before we left. Spreading the Joy, you know.;) You are a good mom!

    But the cake.. NO. That would have made it home. Not in its original pre cake walk condition, but home.
