Fall Festival


Today was the fall festival at the elementary school and the kids had such a great time. The weather was absolutely perfect and everyone there had looked forward to it all week long. Usually I am sitting somewhere running a booth and helping with kids and this year, I took a break from that. I spent the entire day just following my kids around and enjoying every minute of being there with them. It was really a nice change of pace for me and I know they enjoyed it too. We all had a great time looking and doing all of the fun activities they had planned for us to do. I got to go on the hayride with each of them and that is kind of how I planned my day. It really isn't that easy to get time in with each child when the party only lasts a few hours and you have four kids to try to do everything with. My kids were all in different groups with different teachers so therefore, it wasn't like I could just take my four and do everything they wanted to do, instead I had to find one group and do some activities and then go to the next group. It was fun but I kind of wish they would let you just take your kids with you if you are there anyways. Oh well....I guess it's one less thing for the teachers to worry about if they know where all of their students are. Anyways, Michael pulled the hayride for the kids so I would go with one of them and then after they got off of the hayride, I would go find the next one and do some things with them until it was time for their hayride. This means a I rode the hayride four times but to be honest it was kind of nice to have the breeze blowing and just have a quieter time to sit with each of the kids and talk to them about how much fun they were having. Hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween and a great weekend all together.

Til Next Time
