fall festival

Tonight was the fall festival at the kids' school. For the record (again), I HATE halloween and everything associated with it. But my kids found costumes that they really liked, so I bought them and took them to the little carnival at school. Thankfully, this is also the weekend of the huge wrestling tournament in the high school. Jason runs the tournament and has Joel, Makenzie, and Luke help him. They were more excited about being at the tournament than in going to the carnival, so we didn't have to stay at the carnival for very long at all this year :-)

Seth and I waited in the lobby for Luke and Makenzie to get changed. It is SO difficult for Seth to sit and wait unless he's buckled in his car seat or stroller. He didn't do too badly, though.
Luke was a ninja -- a sweaty little ninja because the heat is on in the building, of course since it's 32 degrees outside now. He had on a ski mask made out of material that would keep his head warm in freezing temperatures. He took it off a little while after the picture.
Makenzie dressed up as Cleopatra. She loves reading anything and everything about Egypt. When she saw this costume at Walgreens, she HAD to have it! One minute after she put it on tonight, though, she was complaining about how itchy it was. So again, uncomfortable parts of the costume came off after the picture.
My nephew Gavin was a Ninja Turtle. SO cute!!!
And my niece Makayla was a Care Bear. Her costume was also very warm, so the hood was only on for the picture. I barely caught this picture before she took it off again.
CUTE kids :-)
