Fall Festival

 This year the kids wanted to have a Star Wars theme for Halloween so I set out asking friends for old costumes as I am beyond cheap when it comes to wearing something one time a year. The great thing about having smaller children is that they can wear peers costumes from years past even if they are the same age.

Kinsey wanted to be a storm trooper from the start.  Not sure why, but she was set on it.  Thankfully the Klick's had a costume we could borrow!  Braden didn't really care who he was (as long as it was something Star Wars) and since the Papa's had a Darth Vader costume that fit him he wore that...and was actually excited about it:).  Ephram wanted to be Darth Vader in.a.bad.way. BUT we already had a Darth Vader AND target.com had this Yoda costume on sale for $6 back in August so I bought it. Now that I think about it...I think the Yoda costume kind of started everything.  He wasn't thrilled about it at first but after wearing it for a few times AND getting to carry a stick he was beyond excited. Cailey wanted to be Princess Leia from the beginning so I asked mom if she could make the costume and it turned out great!  She actually used the same material from my wedding dress to make it!

I LOVE that they chose the costume theme (and even wanted one) AND that they were all so happy about it! Oh..and of course that it only cost me $6:).

 we went to the Bayleaf Fall Festival with the Morgan's.

 They have the BEST free food there! Hot dogs, nachos, cotton candy, baked goods, basically a kids dream come true!

 Cailey came back with this and said, "Mommy, I just HAD to get one...it's tradition, ya know". SO funny! Her and Brian love them and DO get them every year while mommy sticks to cotton candy and the others prefer the homemade baked goods.

 They went to all the different rooms to play games and get candy then had a blast on the jump house slide and bounce house. There was even a room perfect for Ephram that had it's own bounce house obstacle course.

We had such a great time!
