Fun Overload!

Alas, all good things must come to an end, and that's where I find myself this afternoon. We have been on fall break this past week, and I'm not ready to go back to school tomorrow! We have had an absolutely wonderful fall break! I didn't get nearly as much accomplished as I wanted, but I sure have had fun! We've done some shopping, spent an entire day visiting an aunt I don't get to see often, had a fall festival at church, visited our local fair, and just had a lot of fun. I did manage to get my carpet cleaned while we were off. Thankfully all the spots and stains came out...otherwise I was about to get new flooring fever. I really want hardwood in our living room, but I'd like to wait until Luke is a little older. I'm not sure how well it will hold up to Luke's tractors and bulldozers, and I'm pretty sure I can't stand that much noise!

Our church puts on a big fall festival every year as a big community outreach, and it just awesome! Notice there are no pictures of Matthew. He ditched me as soon as we arrived to find his buddy, Zach. He's growing up on me. (sniff, sniff!) Luke and Mama and I had a great time though. Luke is a little small for some of the games, but everybody helped him out a little so that he could play too!

We also carved jack-o-lanterns from the pumpkins we got at the pumpkin patch last weekend. I'm ashamed to admit that this is the first time we've ever done it! Well, Tracy did most of the carving, Matthew and Luke just directed the designs, and I took pictures!

Don't worry, this is just a battery operated tea light! Luke loved it, though!

Tonight we're having a fifth-Sunday sing at church. Sometimes we have a group come in to sing, but tonight it's going to be more of a "pickin' and grinnin'" affair. Anyone who plays an instrument is invited to bring it, and we're just going to pick and sing, sort of Gaither style. I am so excited, because I love to sing old songs. In fact, I'd better finish up this post and get to the church. I'm taking all my old songbooks and we're going to pick out some favorites. Maybe I'll even get a video or two....

Happy Halloween, everybody!
