Hallo-weeeeee-n

Just because we didn't have enough going on during Halloween weekend, we decided to spend an hour Sunday afternoon at the "Harvest Festival" carnival at AJ's school.

The carnival featured all sorts of games, but nothing could compete with the giant inflatable slide.

Over and over the kids waited in line to climb up and slide down. And that was just fine with me. All the games featured wonderful plastic cr** as prizes, and to be quite honest, we really don't need any more plastic spider rings, monster mini yo-yos that don't work and Halloween themed pencils.

Eventually AJ grew tired of the slide, and then the slide had to come down because the rental place had come to pick it up, and so we finally started checking out the games and collecting our share of plastic cr**.

If Sydney wants to follow in her brother's foot prints (or should I say ice skates?) she's got some work to do.

AJ's great victory came at the end of the day. He won a plate of cupcakes while participating in a cakewalk. Oh joy! Just what he needed this weekend - more sugar!
