Weaving

We were supposed to learn a craft that they did in the Middle Ages like knitting, crocheting, weaving, or making a tapestry…well I’m not talented like Aunt Sara or Kristal or Nikki…so we just did the paper weaving!

Miriam weaving hers

Levi weaving his Louisiana Tech colors one

Cameron wasn’t too interested in doing it

Luke did most of the work on his…I just drew the lines where he needed to cut.
   

Greater Baton Rouge State Fair

Last night we decided to take the kids to the state fair.  Kids under 48” get in free…Luke & Cameron barely were under it…so we only had to pay for the adults.  This was one of the first things you came to.  At first, we just thought it was a statue…but if you walked close to it, then he would reach out and scare you.  The kids were all scared…they didn’t want to walk past it.  That was Craig’s favorite part…it was really funny when he got the adults!

Then we went to the livestock area where we got to see a bunch of different animals.  
   

Miriam and Luke even milked a cow

I don’t know if Levi was scared or amazed by the lights on the rides.

All of the kids brought $5 from their piggy bank to spend…obviously Levi & Cameron used theirs to buy a light saber.


Luke & Miriam chose to ride the ferris wheel.

 

More light saber fun

And of course, we had to get a funnel cake…we actually got 3 but they were so filling and we didn’t get a drink that we almost brought all of them home.

It was a good and short time at the fair.  We told the kids that if they want to ride more rides next year that they can save their money to buy a bracelet…and to save enough for Daddy to ride too since they won't be able ride by themselves!

Halloween Alternatives

Sunday night we went to the Fall Festival at church.  I told Levi we were going to church to get candy.  When we got there and parked (not in our normal spot), Levi asked if this was the candy house. 

Playing the Fruit of the Spirit game with Mrs. Betty (Cameron’s Sunday school teacher)

Levi playing the Good Samaritan game and Luke pinning the tail on the lion

Micah with Mrs. Amber, her Sunday School teacher…Micah wasn’t so happy about it!

Luke & Miriam doing the cake walk

ZeeZee said I had to take a picture of this…Micah would take a bite of hotdog and then she would suck on her sucker

Miriam playing the game that ZeeZee was working

Micah enjoying her sucker…look at her shirt!

On Tuesday, we went out to LSU for the Boozar where the student athletes pass out candy.

Cameron grabbed a handful of suckers from Miss Baton Rouge

Waiting in line for autographs…but more importanly candy!

Micah brought her “purse” to put her candy in

Cameron got another sucker

Luke walking on the balance beam at the gymnastics station

The softball team all dressed up…my favorite was Coach Yvette Yvette Girouard dressed as Flavor Flav.

Putting at the Golf station

As usual, Micah just hung out in the stroller with her 2 fingers.

Hitting at the tennis station…Luke did pretty good at this one

Luke stood around and wouldn’t get a ball…finally I caught a rebound and gave it to him…He made his first and only shot!
Then we moved to the track & field station…I think they had fun racing on this one!


Levi going to get some candy and we gave Micah some to hold

This was the best shot of the night...we went back to the football station since the line wasn't long, but then it was time for it to close. #99 told me we could take a picture if we waited just a little while while they finished the rest of the autographs.
