Y’all know about the classroom silent auction projects that I helped with. Last Friday I spent the day divided between helping set up for the silent auction at BBC’s Fall Carnival and cleaning my house because my mother-in-law was coming to town. I can’t edit out the junk in person – ha!
Speaking of my MIL – did I tell you she can be a witch sometimes – ha ha. DH thought this would make a funny post. She dressed up like a witch and escorted our little cowboy to the carnival.
BBC’s teacher dressed up like the Cat in the Hat. Her room was face-painting-central. I wish I had a picture of another teacher that dressed up like the Swine Flew…she had on pink tights, shorts and t-shirt with fairy wings and a pig snout. Her shirt had Swine Flew on the front – too cute!
I was totally exhausted after the carnival. We got up on Saturday and headed up to NW Arkansas. My BFF’s family has an annual bonfire and hayride and she wanted us to bring BBC this year. We met in Alma and drove up while listening to the HOGS almost take Florida. Go HOGS!!!
BBC was lethal with his stick. He almost took out a couple of folks with his stick. And he caught several marshmallows on fire. I had visions of Dennis the Menace with the flaming marshmallow.
Once it got dark our chariot came to pick us up for the hayride.
BBC was a little nervous at first but finally laid back and enjoyed the ride. Toward the end he was star gazing and singing songs – so sweet!
This is me and BFF – why are these pics so much cuter on the small camera screen?
The woods were a little spooky…and we almost got taken out by a hummer but that is a story for another day!
I was super-duper tired on Sunday. I have slept most of this week. I don’t know if it is my body making up for me running it ragged while I was so sick or the new allergy meds or both. My doctor told me to take it easy this week and see how I feel next week. I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things. I’ve added a little spook to my fall decor and I plan to share that in the next post. I still have a fall lantern post, an un-diy project to reveal, and many others. Thanks for hanging with me even during the down times!!!
