Wouldn't you know it? We woke up to a very, very rainy day yesterday ... honestly it rained the ENTIRE day.
So ... we decided to go to the various Fall Festivals at the local churches. October is filled with Fall Festival days all over the area. I think it's a very sweet thing they do for the local community.
I dressed Griffin in a very cute fallish colored shirt and his overalls and I wore my favorite fall vest ... thinking we would have many fallish photo ops.
First we stopped at my neighbor's church. They were having a bake sale and yard sale to benefit missions. We found Griffin a V-Tech Learning Toy for only $1.00 and then an ABC puzzle for $1.00. What deals! We had to pass up the chocolate chip brownie cookies ... too bad ... they looked so good.
Then we went to the Baptist Church's Annual Children Sale. This is very cool. They allow individuals to consign children's clothing and toys for sale. We found Griffin 6 outfits for only $18.00. Couldn't ask for a better bargain.
On to another Fall Festival at another church ... Mike and Griffin stayed in the car while I ran in to see what was going on. It was pouring down rain and since Griffin has a cold and was acting VERY tired and grumpy we thought it might be a good idea for me to check it out before taking him in. It was a very sweet craft sale and they were selling brunswick stew. Unfortunately there wasn't anything that interested me ... but I really do hope they had a successful day.
All of these folks put alot of time and effort into their events and I hope the rainy weather didn't keep too many people away.
It was like 9:20 by this time and we decide to go to Sam's Club.
We filled our cart with the things we needed ... but I have to say my favorite was our PUMPKIN.
I really wanted to take a picture of Griffin with the pumpkin yesterday, but he was not feeling well and when he woke up from his nap he was still grumpy. So, I changed him into comfy clothes and decided it was NOT the day to take pumpkin pictures.
It was really nice spending time together as a family yesterday ... it's something we definately needed.
I hope he's feeling better today. I love fall festivals.
ReplyDeleteI was going to get a couple of pumpkins when I went to sams club, but my cart was full of food..no room. Maybe tomorrow...we're out of milk again. It happens quick around here...8 gallons a week, in fact. I look forward to seeing pictures of Griffin with his pumpkin when he's less grumpy. :o)
