Fall Festival

This afternoon, we enjoyed a fun fall festival in our neighborhood. I can't think of a better kid friendly event to usher in the spirit of Halloween. Miller was so excited to debut his Halloween costume for the first time. Doesn't he look so dashing in his Penguin tuxedo? He is so proud of his penguin flapper wings bow tie that we can hardly take the costume off of him without a full fledged penguin fit. He prances, or should I say, waddles around the house and stops at every mirror to check out his black and white costume.Now the billed hat is a different story, he'd rather leave that cumbersome bother at home.


My neighbor Trina and I headed up the cookie decorating station. The kids made spooky oreo spider treats. While mommy worked, the boys had a big time touring all the sights. Poor Miller was too small to join the bigger boys in the Thomas the Train jumpy castle. He thought he'd keep trying to squeeze his fat penguin body through the entrance to the train...poor buddy! Miller did manage to entertain himself with the Ping Pong pumpkin toss with his new friend Wonder Woman. He also loved helping dadda in the bean bag toss. He laughed everytime Landon made it through the Jack-o-lantern. Mr. Chris entertained us all with his enormous bubble blowing gadget. We wrapped up the festival playing and sliding on the playscape. What a fun afternoon as a family!
