Fall Fest 2009

Our second annual neighborhood fall fest was a big hit. Fun was had by all and everybody was high on sugar and filthy when heading home.

My pretty little monarch butterfly fairy, who to me looked more like she should be serving beer in a German pub or something.

Maybe actually having all of the necessary parts to the costume will make a difference on Halloween. We didn't have the tights and shoes called for so made do with bare legs and sandals.

The cutest little Thomas the Tank Engine ever. Although by the end of the night he had some pretty big competition, more on that later.

We bobbed for apples...

and had sack races.

Jacob tried to make one desperate final attempt at winning by doing a baseball type slide at the finish.

Hilarity ensued when the little girls had their turn.

We enjoyed the bean bag toss...

and many trips to the treasure chest.

There was a pinata that lasted one whole whack when we got the actual bat out.

The candy frenzy that a pinata brings:

The poor black cat had tails pinned in many different places:

The funniest game was the ping pong ball on a spoon race. You had to put the ball on the end of the spoon and run with it, stopping to pick up the ball when it fell off.

Emmy whipped past everybody and came in first in all three races.

Here's how. I smell a cheater:

A very dirty Harry Potter enjoying a cupcake at the end of the night. The black hair spray paint did not stay on the head.

And here's the second contestant in the "Cutest Thomas the Tank Engine" contest.

I don't think he places first, although it's close. He said "this had better not end up on Facebook." I said "nah, just on the blog." ;)

Happy Halloween!!
