fall festival with elmo, tigger and a tiger doctor

by katherine on November 2, 2008

in family outing, holidays

Growing up in church we had to call Halloween “fall festival” due to the inherent evil-ness. Isn’t that weird?  We always trick or treated though, always with huge pillowcases.  We actually contemplated going to a neighborhood church’s fall festival, for the bouncy house and $1 hot dogs of course, but after a few drinks felt it would be slightly inappropriate. Sorry Eastside Christian Fellowship, maybe next year.

We had a lovely time and I am thrilled that I got the day off.  Addy dressed up in last year’s elmo outfit since we really didn’t take her out last year.  She was a hit.  We didn’t see any other Elmo’s and all the other kids kept saying, “hey there’s Elmo!”  Owen was a token Tigger, but cute nonetheless.

We finished the evening with a wonderful worm pudding nightcap.  A truly wonderful dessert when you are 3.

Andy and I are starting to look like we are 30.

A serious Tigger

She licked that root beer barrel for a solid hour.  Yum.

Tiger Doctor, it’s not supposed to make sense

Hey don’t knock 30…30 looks good :) Vera now says “deedee” (Addy) always followed by “melmo” (elmo) when we talk about you guys. We may need to borrow the elmo for its 3rd halloween. Love you!
