Work & Fun all in one weekend...

Yes, I had to work last weekend, we had a festival. In general that is a good thing. I like festivals, I like larger events where there is a great potential to reach more people at one time. I also like that it is in the fall, beautiful leaves, not too hot...unfortunately, someone decided to turn on the rain. After what, 6 weeks of beautiful blue sky weekends, the one where we had something big planned the clouds came out. Apparently rain scares alot of vendors too *chuckle*

We did have several cancel on us, but we held it rain or shine and in the end it did go well, it didn't downpour rain (but did get a little), and we even had a bit of blue sky for a bit. Ron and Maddie came and basically spent the whole day, listening to the music, making a bird house and some crafts, going on hayrides and watching the demonstrations.


Sunday was a beautiful day (of course, that's because the festival was over!). Our friends Rae and Alan invited us and a bunch of others with kiddos over to a Halloween party. Maddie got to dress up in her Halloween costume and play with all of the kids...she had a blast as you can tell. She wanted to be a princess ballerina...I kind of guided her towards a fairy princess, well, just because I like fairies =) From the smile, I think she likes it! I also think I deserve some sort of kudos for letting her go to an outside part in basically an all white outfit *laugh* especially since she needs to wear it on Halloween!

Pumpkin pinata yielded yummy candy!


Here they are on Alan's spooky trail...watch out for the ghosts and spiders along the way!

Lining up in teams for "Pass the Pumpkin" game =)

Hail, hail, the gang's all here...
