Carnival

I had planned on uploading more pictures from the camera for this post, but it appears that's never going to happen. So I figured I'd post what I have before it's Thanksgiving and this is no longer relevant. Our church had their annual Hope Harvest carnival on Halloween. This year they made it into a food drive, so the "price" of admission was one can of food. We raised 6000 lbs of food, which is awesome. Sage looks forward to this each year, as there are tons of rides. Last year the weather was so perfect, but this year was far from it. It was FREEZING and the rain made the part where the carnival was a mud pit. Of course, kids don't mind this; mommies do. We had invited some friends of our's that don't go to our church, so we couldn't NOT go. Of course, they were there for their daughter too. We ended up there for about 2 hours, but hot soup was needed to warm up afterwards.

Obviously, she's not affected by the cold.Did I mention it was still raining when we got there? I had the "family size" umbrella. After hitting several people with it, my friend Jill said that I needed a sign that said, "Get under or get away." Notice Jaggar in his sling. He slept in that the entire time we were there. Had he not, we would have had to leave because of the cold. My shoulder was so sore when we got in the car that I didn't know if I'd be able to move it. He's not a newborn anymore, but he doesn't know that.
