First up, we worked on our Spooky Gingerbread house. I bought it on super clearance last year after Halloween, so it was really cheap, and it actually turned out pretty good. amelia was not very interested in it. She took a little finger scoop of frosting and took off. Olivia actually helped with it, and thought it was super cool. She then decided that the finished house should sit right in front of her stop at the dinner table. I wonder if she'll notice when we throw it out...
We ate a little lunch, and then it was time for naps. Glorious nap. Christian and I settled in to watch the Vikings (they actually won, YAY!). I wasn't feeling too hot...apparently I was more exhausted than I thought last night, because I completely forgot to take my contacts out before I went to bed! Oops. It's only the second time I've ever done that, and my head was pounding all day thanks to that little mistake. Of course, genious that I am, I just left them in all day today, instead of taking them out after realizing what I'd done. WOW.
After naps, we were off to the Fall Festival at a church down the street from us. We went last year and it was such a blast. However, they had much better weather last year. This year, it was quite a bit colder, so they had everything crammed inside, and didnt' have quite as much for the kids to do. But, Olivia had a blast anyway. Amelia was kind of overwhelmed with all of the people I think, but she did pretty good too. We played some game, ate some treats, pet the animals for a bit and just hung out. My mom and Christian's parents met us there. His parents couldn't really take the crowds, so they didn't stay long. Just long enough to see the girls in their costumes. My mom stuck around through the whole thing. The extra help navigating the kids and our stuff through the crowds was definitely helpful.
After the festival, the girls and I went home to settle in and relax, while Christian ran to his parents to help with some stuff for a while. By the time he got home, we all just ate a quick dinner and the girls were off to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a pretty chaotic day with work and trick-or-treating, I can feel the exhaustion already...
Here are some pics from today's events.
