Fall Festival

Fall Festival....already?!  When I first read the flier from school, I thought "surely they mean October 13th, not September 13th"....but no, I was wrong.  Maggie's school fall festival was yesterday ~ on a school night in September when it was still 100 degress outside. Lovely.  Not.

However, kids don't seem to mind the heat, especially when you can go down water slides and slip-n-slides and get all wet.  Kids were having a blast. The parents didn't look quite as thrilled.  But the joy on Maggie's face as she experienced it all, was so worth it.  She had a great time, checking out all the little events from fishing for bracelets, to a bean bag toss, to face painting, to slip-n-sliding, to splatter painting, to bowling, to designing her own princess crown.

I wish I could've gotten video of Maggie on the slip-n-slide inflatable. Hilarious.  She was just flying through the thing. All the kids were laughing at her because she never fell - she was literally running through it all. The other kids tried without success and she was the talk of the event :)

After we enjoyed the games, we of course, had to partake in the goodies ~ candy, cotton candy, sno-cones, and cupcakes...just to name a few of the many horribly wonderful food items available for purchase (oh yeah - this event wasn't free...while I feel that we give MORE than enough support to the school, I guess this just provided even more support) :)

Face painting and laffy taffy ~

 Gotta love those sno-cones!

These pictures don't give these cupcakes justice. They were enormous....about the size of my hand.

 Can we say sugar high?!?!
At one point, she just laid down on the table and started eating it. 
She was so proud of her crown ~ completely created all by herself

Although it was hotter than hades, she had a blast. And after all, isn't that all that matters?
