Street Fest
Tonight we enjoyed Fellowship's annual Street Fest! The boys' costumes turned out great, and it was fun to see Sullivan in the tiger costume that Oliver wore 2 years ago :) Oliver was 3 months older at that point than Sullivan is now, so I was afraid the costume would be way too long. But it worked out just great! It took both Seth and me holding Sullivan steady to get his face painted, but after all was said and done, the cute Dalmatian and Tiger were ready to go!
This picture cracks me up...I almost deleted it, and then I realized that they are making the same face! :) Like father, like son.
Ready to go!
It turned out to be a beautiful day today....first sunny day we've had in I don't know how long. It was sunny, crisp and cool...the perfect Street Fest weather.
Oliver enjoyed playing a few games and getting some candy. He was way more shy/cautious than I would have thought he would be, but he did partake in a few of the games. Much to Seth and my dismay....not much candy for us to steal :)
Then we went inside to see what fun was going on in there.....the best part of the whole night!
Sullivan took one look at those inflatables, and he WANTED IN. He's never been in anything like that, but with just him and Oliver in there, I wasn't worried about a thing. And boy oh boy, did he love it!
They bounced it up in there and had a grand old time. Neither one of them wanted to get out, but a line was forming, so we thought we'd better give other kids a turn. After awhile Sullivan walked up to the outside of it and started hollering at the kids in there. No one knows what he was saying, but I'm pretty sure he was telling those boys he wanted back in :)
Happy, happy boy.
Then Oliver played the cake-walk...
...and he even won one of the rounds! He chose this Halloween-colored rice krispe treat, and enjoyed every bite. Except for the little bite I gave to Sullivan, which resulted in Sullivan intensely and repeatedly giving me the "more" sign :)
Me trying my darnedest to hold both these squirmy boys...Oliver is saying "Momm-eeeeee," while Sullivan is eyeing Oliver's treat and saying "ahhhhhhhhh," which he does when he wants you to put something in his mouth :) Ha! These kids crack me up.
Lastly, we enjoyed a hay ride around our church's campus. The boys enjoyed riding, and it was a sweet moment for me....a nice, slow, calm, smooth ride, holding our boys.
Our family shot of the night....someday we'll be able to get pictures of all of us smiling at the same time, but for now, this is our sweet life :)
What a fun, memory-making night!!
