The Fall Fling

In the preschool area we had a three pools. One with corn, one with sand, and one with water. The kids loved playing in them.

Last weekend was a huge weekend for our family. It was the first annual (hopefully!) Fall Fling at Clover Road Christian Church. This is an event Jeremy dreamed up and had a huge part in bringing about. Last year we were planning for it and it got canceled due to budgetting. So Jeremy has had to be patient in waiting to see God bring this to fruition. But God really blessed us in how everything came together!! I was so proud of Jeremy. He has such a heart for reaching out to our community and it was such a joy to see something he has a passion for bring God glory. Did I mention the weather was amazing?! We have had a TON of rain lately and even with all this crazy weather the day before and of the event were dry. It started spinkling at 6:00 just as the event was ending.

Basically the Fall Fling was a totally FREE event for our community. It was a way for us to tell them we love them in a fun family environment that wasn't too churchy. The event included inflatables, games, cotton candy, snow cones, a meal, and more. I was in charge of helping with a special section for preschool kids. We had over 600 people show up! I have a few picture of Grace & Faith that my mother-in-law took. I was too busy to take pictures.

Our First Pirate Game

The past week has been super crazy due to the Fall Fling (more on that later) so we ended up making the first home football game a family event. Usually Jeremy and I go as a date. We were all at the church preparing for the Fall Fling on Friday so we went out to eat with some friends of ours before the game. So we were talking about going to the game with Grace & Riley (Rillee is 3) After a quick meal at Taco Bell we headed home to change into our black & red. Luckily I had found a Pirate t-shirt in Grace's size at a yard sale last season for like a quarter. While we were getting ready Grace said the funniest thing! She asked me, "Mama, are there going to be games on this pirate ship we are going on?" It was so funny!!! She was completely confused but we had been talking about going to the Pirate game- so it was a good question! She also asked for a red thing in her hair like mine ( a bandanna). So all three of us wore matching ones. It was super fun, the kind of thing you dream about when you imagine having a family. The girls enjoyed the band, the cheerleaders, and the concession stand. But we only made it to half time. They are still little girls that needed to go to bed! It was a great memory.
