Harvest Fest

Wow! It has been a while. I have been so busy. One of the reasons I was busy was because of harvest fest. That is what our church does instead of Trick or Treating. It is set up like a carnival. They have a puppet show and a presentation of the gospel. THen you get hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, and soda
(real healthy I know). Then they have games and rides for all the kids. It is so much fun. After last year of being the characters from Narnia the boys requested to be the characters from Lord of the Rings. With a few changes from last year's costumes the boys were all set. Esther just needed a little skirt to go over hers from last year. It was too short and I did not feel like making her a whole new costume. Some fabric and a little elastic and she was all set. I had to make Daniel a new costume and alter his from last year to fit Samuel. Carl requested to dress up too so I made costumes for both of us. He was Aragon and I was his elf love (can't remember or spell her name.) The costumes turned out so good and the kids had a blast. Carl has already decided that next year we are going as a basketball team. He will be the coach and Esther and I will be cheerleaders. People always say we are going for our own basketball team anyway. It took a lot of time and effort but it was worth it. It will be something the kids will always remember that mommy made their costumes each year. The kids like playing with their costumes all year and they last a lot longer than the cheap costumes you get out at the store. William is in fact wearing his to Sunday School this Sunday. His class is studying the armor of God. Each kid is to give a presentation of a specific piece of armor. William is doing the sword of the spirit and thought it would be cool to wear his costume.
