Tonight was the annual fall festival at our church. Since I am doing a bible study with the family life group I was asked to volunteer at one of their booths. I figured since I was going to be there with my kids in the toddler area anyway why not make myself useful. I was set to volunteer from 6 to 7 which worked out great. My mom was coming with us then planning to take Michael home at 7 to get him ready for bed while John and I walked around with Lauren. Michael spent the hour with me in the toddler area while Lauren and my mother explored. They went and had a balloon animal hat made for Lauren and they did spin art. At 7 my mom came and got Michael and it started to rain! We ended up staying in the toddler area and hanging out talking to friends for a while but the rain didnt seem to be letting up. After grabbing a bite to eat we headed home.
I expected to walk into a quiet house and for Michael to already be asleep- I was WRONG! There were kids everywhere in my house. All of our friends had parked at our house and came back because of the rain. It was ok though, we enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Michael ended up going to bed around 8:30 and Lauren layed on the couch watching Cinderella (the only movie she watches) until 9:15!!!! I don't think she has ever stayed up that late. I'm a little sad it rained and I didn't have an opportunity to fully enjoy the festival with my kids but there will be another one next year and hopefully the rain holds out then.

| Laurens fishing hat- she thought it was great having a fish dangling from her head. I am a little unsure of how she ended up with such an odd balloon animal when other little girls had wands and tiaras- I'm guessing she saw someone else with it and decided that's what she wanted. |

| Michael liked playing with all the toys from the room he stays in when we go to church. |
