We've had a busy week at the George house, and it's not over yet! I wanted to put some pics up because I've got some cuties, but my camera has decided it doesn't like me. So, those will have to wait, but here's the low down!
Last Saturday, we had our church's fall fest. A couple in our church hosts it every year. They're farmers (which translates to TONS of land!), and we have a fire, loads of food, games for the kids, and a hayride. They even had a bouncy house...Caleb loved it, and so did Joshua. The lady who hosts this (and her daughter) are totally creative, and supposedly this gets better every year. This year we got off the hayride to go through the "Spooky Forest." It was so cute (not too spooky). There were different ghosts and pumpkins and things throughout; then it was back to the trailer. Then we go to "Mimi's Mansion." (Janet's a "Mimi" to her grandkids.) Last year they had a Sonny and Cher karaoke show, but this year they had some popcorn and movie bits from the Adam's Family. We didn't do the scary hayride, so Caleb loved it. Chris got scared, though, when he saw the cows out in the pasture! What a baby! The kids got to wear their costumes, too....the first of 4 times!
Sunday afternoon was Caleb's birthday party at the park. He asked for an elephant birthday cake (his favorite animal). So, we had an animal themed party with the elephant cake. I feel like such a domestic supermom after making that cake! A friend of mine gave me a template to go by, and I even piped the icing on. Of course, I ran out of icing with about 2/3 of it done, but thankfully I mixed some more to the same color gray! It was kind of weird not having family at the party, but we had our friends there. Caleb had a blast. Great 4th birthday!!! He got his big boy bike from us (still with training wheels). He had the cutest grin on his face when we brought it out!
Last night we had a party at church for Caleb's class, and they wanted to wear costumes. So, Larry the Pirate (Veggie Tales) went back on. His little "girlfriend" was SuperGirl. Too cute!
We put the costume back on this morning for the Halloween Carnival at school. I got to go, too, and it was fun. They played games and had a pizza party. It was nice to meet some of the other moms and finally put some faces to the names Caleb talks about when he comes home.
Now we're just waiting for tomorrow for the last appearance of Larry! One of the churches in town has a "Trail of Treats" that we're going to go to. It should be fun! Happy Halloween everyone!
