Fall Festivities!!

Fall is here and so are all the festivals!! The kids elementary school puts on a fall festival every year sponsored by the PTA. It is the responsibility of the room parents to come up with a booth(some carnival type game), find people to run the booth and make a creative poster to try to earn money for the teacher to spend in the classroom. As room parent in Katelynn's class and one of the assistant room parent's in Scott's class, you can imagine what I've been doing. The kids had a blast and the effort was well worth it.

My parents own a silk screening business and set up a booth at the Apple Fest in the North Georgia Mountains. They have been doing this for the past 10 years or so. My mom, my dad, my brother Randall, my nephew Wade, and I all went up Friday and we will be doing it again this weekend. Working with my family is actually a lot of fun. Randall has to make sure he lives up to his responsibilities as a big brother and of course I have to do the same as a little sister. He was teasing me quite a bit, so in response when he asked for a Dr. Pepper, I made sure to shake it for him :)

The kids are all geared up for Halloween. Yesterday Scott mentioned that he wanted to be a missionary then changed his mind. "I want to be Kroger!" (a grocery store) How do I pull that one off??? Thank goodness my 8 year old nephew Kyler called this morning and asked Scott to be an army dude with him. That one I can do! I'm trying to talk Katelynn into being a ballerina. She has an absolutely gorgeous ballet costume from her dance recital last June. What better way to get your money worth out of a $60.00 ballerina costume right? I love watching the kids trick-or-treat, it's so much fun!
