Fall Festival

Our church had a Fall Festival and I signed up to bring a dessert.  I made Worms in Dirt.  I put it in a new, clean pot, used a new trowel for the scooping device, and placed some artificial flowers in the pot.  People didn't eat the dessert because they thought it was a table decoration.  I took a big scoop out of it and then people realized it was one of the desserts :)


 Amelia was a ladybug again this year.  The costume was one that Clint bought off ebay before she was born for the personal ladybug baby shower he threw me.
Amelia looked adorable in her costume...except when she had unzipped it and started taking it off, getting almost completely naked!   
I was also a 'ladybug' this year...I wore black pants, a red shirt, ladybug wings, and ladybug ear rings.





Amelia enjoyed playing the games.  Here she is throwing a bean bag.

This was pin the nose on the jack o' lantern.  She didn't want to be blind folded so she knew exactly where to put the nose :)

This was a game where you put the rings on the spiders' legs.


Last, there was a mini golf/croquet game.  She wasn't very good at this game...maybe next year.
She enjoyed listening to the Halloween music, like The Monster Mash.
She danced with some friends from church.

She hung out next to the janitor...oh wait....that's daddy!
Clint dressed up like Joe Dirt.  He had to grow out his facial hair for a month in order for it to look authentic.  I was glad when Halloween was over so he could shave it all off!

There was also trick-or-treating at the Fall Festival.  Amelia was shy at first about saying Trick-or-Treat to people but after a few times, she got the hang of it and said it loud and proud because she wanted the candy.

We didn't go trick-or-treating on Halloween since it was on Sunday this year.  After dinner in Mesa, we came home and answered the door for the few trick-or-treaters that stopped by our house.  Amelia would hide when they would knock. But then once I opened the door, she would come and help put candy in their buckets/bags after they told us Trick-or-Treat.
