Harvest Joy Festival

Today, we had a super fun and sweaty time at our church's Harvest Joy Festival!

After hitting up all the trunks and loading up on candy, SpiderMan and Queen Elsa played a little baseball.

Then, we had some archery practice.

While Grace was bouncing and sliding and playing, I found Carter Man here. Doing this.

wheeeeee!!!

This yummy Italian ice was a nice cool treat on this crazy 84 degree October afternoon.

So...like I said a second ago, we had a super fun and sweaty time at our church's Harvest Joy Festival!

just another day at the pumpkin patch

these kiddos ran straight for the swings. it's pretty much become the norm. they love to swing!

they are getting so big! almost too big for the swings.

after a bunch of playing, we took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch.

grace found her perfect pumpkin!

it took carter a while to find his. maybe, it was because he was looking for a square pumpkin.

my favorites

then, it was time for a little train ride.

while the kids were bouncing in the inflatables, we got to hang out alone.

his face!!!

she's so strong!!!

fall house tour

Now that we are a good three weeks into fall, I thought I would show you what fall looks like in our home.

Now, I am definitely ready for the weather to cool down and stay cool so that I can wear some sweaters and boots and drink some caramel apple cider!!! What are some of your favorite things about fall?

Parent Days

Grace and Carter had Parent Day at school and John and I were able to go to both! We are always excited to see them in their classrooms with their teacher and friends.

Carter's Parent Day was first and fell on Hillbilly Day.

They did the pledges and Carter got to lead the pledge to the Bible. They also said their Bible verses, sang songs (sort of), and helped retell some of the Bible stories that they had been learning.

Then, each kid picked an apple with a letter and a leaf with a number. After they named the letter or number and said the sound of the letter, they put it up on the apple tree. Carter managed to get his "B" apple and "2" leaf at the very top of the tree. He's not at all competitive...ha!

Before we left, we got to help Carter make a beautiful butterfly!

Grace's Parent Day was next. It was a wacky tacky kind of day!

Grace and her class also did the pledges and sang some songs. Then, they played all kinds of fun review games to impress us with their Bible knowledge and reading and spelling skills.
