Costume? What costume?
On October 31, William took our kids and went with Derek and the Johnson kids to a couple of churches who were having Fall Festivals. There were two that were close to one another and the game plan was to hit one and hopefully do it quick enough to be able to go down the road and take in the other one as well, and still be home by about 8:30.
The kids decided to dress up at the last minute, so we gathered all the props for Bailey to be a cat, and Noah to be a pirate. We had alot of fun trying to come up with a tail and an eye patch, but Mom's ingenuity came through! I had an old pair of black leather boots that I cut up to make the patch for Noah, and an old black sweater that I was able to fashion into a tail for Bailey. William maintained through it all that "I always dress like this!", refusing to admit he was wearing a costume.
Melissa and I were not invited, so we headed off to shop for an gift for an upcoming wedding tea.
The kids (and their dads) had a blast! There were games with prizes, lots of junk food, and of course CANDY!! The guys were impressed that there was even chili at one of the churches. The only thing they didn't like was having to fill out a long laborious form before entering one of the festivals.
