Scarecrow Festival

Every year, Chris's place of employment hosts a huge carnival-type fundraiser. It's all kinds of fun. We spend way too much time there. But, it's all for a good cause, right? Right. The money goes to programs for the students, which is a good cause. And here are the photos of us having fun--it's for the sake of getting kids off drugs!!

Oh, so cute. They're cute, right?

Pumpkin patch. I don't think this one really needs my explanation.

Scarecrows, haybales, kids, sun, and shadows.

Sarah's favorite activity: The bungee jumping thing.

(I know she looks like Cousin It, but it's really just Sarah.)

An awkward angle of Ammon. (Alliteration makes me smile.)

Nathan (a.k.a Superman) likes to fly.

Beth thinks bouncing is the best thing in the world. She jumps everywhere she goes anyway, so this was plain excitement for her. But she doesn't let me call her Tigger anymore. Now when I call her Tigger she says, "I NOT TIGGER. I Wis-bef Lilinoe Woods." It's cuter when she says it because her tongue sticks out on her L's in Lilinoe.

Nathan on the rock wall. He is crazy, but on things like this, he is the most cautious of my children. Weird.

Sarah climbed a short distance (about the same height as the rock wall in Grandpa's backyard). Then she got scared, repelled down and did it again.

Ammon climbed all the way to the top!!!

A little ladybug for my Little Ladybug. She doesn't let me call her Little Ladybug anymore. Now when I call her that, she says, "I NOT YADYBUG. I Wis-bef Lilinoe Woods." It's cuter when she says it because of the way her tongue sticks out on the L's in Lilinoe.

And here we have some sort of Batgirl, Pirate, and Spiderman!!! It was Nathan's idea to have the girl paint his hands. He thought it would help him stop sucking his thumb. It was quite successful, until we found some water.
