Church Fall Festivals....

So we decided to try some Church Fall Festivals around here. The first one was a large disappointment other than the free Chicken Biscuit and drink we got from Chick-Fil-A. The next one was a little better and Sarah Anne got some candy and her FAVORITE a bracelet. I don't think we were out a total of an hour but we had fun despite the lack of things to do....definitely made us REALLY glad that we went to the park Fall Festival last night. Of course we blog and document all we do super fun or just ok, so here you go....

I'm very ready to go!!

CHEESE MAMA!!!

Blow Kiss to Pops (thats who she told me the kiss was for)

At Fall Festial #1...

Spinning the Chick-Fil-A wheel....she got the Biscuit!!!

Is that really all that was there?

(The first one was really a disappointment, even had some tears because the cow makes her nervous)

After a quick change....FALL FESTIVAL #2

Alright, I'm ready to go. (We weren't planning on coming to this one so we left her bucket at home).

Oh I'll take some thank you!!

Going fishing!!

OH!!! LOOK AT MY BRACELET!!

I'm so excited!! Look at how pretty I am now that I have my bracelet.

Examining her candy and prizes.

Now this looks interesting....

OH!!! I dropped it (notice the bracelet still on...she loves that thing and thinks she is so big with it!)

MY BRACELET!!

We have had a really fun weekend doing some very random fun things. We are looking forward to going trick-or-treating with some friends on Monday. Sarah Anne has definitely had plenty of practice and I know she will love it!!

Random Night with the Normans

So tonight we went and ate Mexican, then changed our sweet girl into a ladybug and headed to the Crooked Creek Park for their Trick-or-Treat Trail and Carnival. It was SO MUCH FUN!! Sarah Anne was such a big girl, she walked the entire loop and proudly held up her bucket and said "PLEASE" to get some candy, then skipped down the way to the next person. Inside at the carnival she would look at me for a ticket and then patiently waited her turn to play the game. She was ADORABLE and we had so much fun!

I'll drive us there no worries!!

Let me just lock the doors real quick...

Daddy this is very silly!!

I'm ready to go!!

I can barely contain my excitement!!

Trick-or-treating on the trail.

Come on Daddy!

There is MORE CANDY??

Look at all that I have!!

There is so much!!

So so SO EXCITED!!

Cutest ladybug ever!!

Time to pick a duckie!!

Then time to throw the bean bags.

Just stopping to say CHEESE!!

I LOVE THIS!! Notice the ball in the air still!

Decided to go for a slam dunk instead.

Holding her ticket, waiting patiently for her turn. She did really well at this, we were surprised!

WHEE!!

Just hand them all over...I've got this!

The "whistle" her Daddy decided to teach her how to use....

Fishing!!

This is one tough fish!

This is what I got. She LOVES this little candy corn thing. (I'm still not sure what it is).

Time to fish with Mama!

All the candy and prizes. She had just pulled out the leaves that she collected trick-or-treating. Collecting leaves on walks is now our new tradition.

Our happy girl!!!

Fall Festival

Our Mom's Time Out group had a "Fall Festial" today and my sweet ladybug was very pleased to go. We also took her friend "Toto". It was quite the adventure having two under two, but we had a lot of fun. We had lots of help from other Moms, which I greatly appreciated! I didn't get a ton of pictures because there was a lot of chasing, but we decorated pumpkins, went on a hayride, colored, went on a costume parade and got lots of CANDY!!! Here are the pictures....
