School Carnival & Enoch's Surprise

I thought it would be fun to take the kiddos to their school carnival. It was raining so the activities and games were held inside and the petting zoo was outside. The carnival was well organized. They had 2 games set up in each hallway and booths along the main hall and big bounce houses in the cafeteria and gym. I wasn't able to take many pictures because I had my hands full trying not to loose any of my kids. The petting zoo was definitely their favorite!

Kade had so much fun chasing the duck while saying "quack, quack, quack!"

Enoch and the baby llama.

Kali and her favorite pony.

Poor Cole was stuck in the stroller. He was kept entertained by the balloons and candies his brothers and sister shared with him.

I bought 6 raffle tickets for five dollars (just to donate to the PTA) because I know the odds of winning anything in the raffle was VERY slim. Some parents spent lots of money just to enhance their child's chance of winning. So I was very surprised when they announced that Enoch won the grand prize.........a brand new Wii plus a Mario Party game. The look on his surprised little face when they handed him the Wii was priceless.

Our little monkey enjoying their new toy. Enoch's favorite game is bowling. He's been getting more strikes than me. He's been begging for Star Wars and Batman Legos, but too bad he's already have those for the X-Box 360.

Believe it or not, Kali's favorite is boxing. She really gets into it. Boys, you better be VERY afraid!

Of course you can't leave Kade out of the action. He likes boxing and Mario games.

Sweet & Sassy

Kali had a blast at a friend's birthday party at Sweet & Sassy. This was definitely Kali's kind of party. They got to pick a dress to wear, of course, her's had to be pink. Each girl had make-up, hair and nails done. They walked the runway, while the announcer read off their "favorite things" to the audience. They danced and laughed and SHRIEKED when the pink limo arrived! The pink limo ride was the highlight of the party......

Kali getting her nails painted. The girl painting her nails told me I have a beautiful complexion. BOY, did she made my day! I would have tipped her, but it wasn't my party.

When Kali walked on the runway, RuPaul's "Supermodel" song came to mind. Everyone my age should remember "Work, work it girl. Do your thing on the runway..."

My little girl looks like she's ready for prom. Waiting to get in the limo. I love my daughter, but I don't think I can pay THAT amount of money for just a 20 minute ride around the blocks.

The birthday girl's mom was brave enough to ride with the girls. She said they screamed the whole time. Glad I wasn't in there, but bummed I missed out on some scrapbook pictures. Oh well....
