We managed to make it to church on time this morning, and we made it through nursery duty this morning without incident. After the first hour, there were only two left who weren't old enough for Sunday School, so that was pretty easy.

After church we stopped by Subway for lunch and then headed home to eat. The kids spent a long time playing outside after that.

Later, we had planned on taking the kids to pick out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch at Caleb's preschool, but we got sidetracked when we realized that our neighborhood was having their annual Fall Festival today. The grandmother of the girl across the street had offered to take Jamie up to the park with them. Having forgotten about the Fall Festival, I told her we were about to go to the pumpkin patch but that Jamie could go and we would pick her up on our way out of the neighborhood. We arrived to pick up Jamie and discovered the fall festival going on and Jamie sitting in the back of a pick up ready for a hay ride, lol. So, we figured, Woohoo! Dinner! And we skipped the pumpkin patch in favor of free food and fun. They had hot dogs, hamburgers, low country boil, and every side dish and dessert imaginable. They even had free beer and wine. I don't know how I forgot about this, but we won't forget next year!

After the Fall Festival, we stopped by to see Christy and Patrick and were happy to see that Christy was doing very well and up and about after her knee surgery. We got the kids out of there without them destroying anything and headed home for bath. Carson is very excited right now because Vic just microwaved him a hot dog(he wouldn't eat the ones at the fall fest because they had grill marks on them), and the hot dog blew up in the microwave. Wonderful.

The pictures are from the fall festival this afternoon.

Off to get these wild ones in the bed now so I can clip coupons and make my grocery lists.
