What is a Harvest Party? No idea, but we went to one today after church at our church's property - where my friend (and church elder) Nicki was dressed as Tigger. Since Dana and Eli decided not to invite us to Olivia's birthday party, we had no choice but to go. Apparently, a Harvest Party is a Halloween party, but if a church had a Halloween party, people would think that the church worship's satan, and we can't have that, therefore we had a "Harvest party" sans devil worship. The kids got dressed up, got to paint pumpkins, play games and trick-or-treat from the backs of people's cars. The great thing about the event is that the whole event was done as a food drive for our local Active Faith food bank. People decorated the back of their vans with amazing, elaborate decorations. We hung some spider web stuff. Needless to say, we didn't win the decoration contest.
Emily was dressed as Dorthy and brought Riley as her Toto. She won a prize for her costume. Nate went as an old man, complete with grey hair, beard, cane, teeth and glasses.
Nate's latest thing has been to do the "bunny ear" thing to people in pictures. We have 100 pictures from vacation, some with Nate in them making the "bunny ears", some with just his hand making them.
We Got home around 2 and then carved pumpkins. We've been on the go so much, it felt good to just be able to come home and hang out and crash. The Lions have a bye week so they're not able to lose.
