Fall Party!!!

Last night was our fall party! We all had great time. We always dress up and this year Mrs. Dobson thought of doing fall colors (red, brown, orange and yellow). When everyone arrived there was more brown then red, orange and yellow put together. :) First we ate supper then played games.

The table decorations were very pretty
Christa and Heather
Bethany, Timothy and Josiah
Painting pumpkins after supper


Elijah
Playing Win, Lose or Draw (all play Pictionary). Here Mrs. Hageman
was drawing "dunking for apples"
Dad, drawing an acorn:)
Tug-of-war, the men first, then the ladies and all the way down to 7-12-year-olds.
Teen boys
Teen girls, this one went on for a while before the whistle was blown.
No one was able to grab the pumpkin.
The little ones got to play a game too. They had to roll the pumpkin
across the gym and run back:)
Silas rolling his pumpkin!
Pastor Dobson explaining the game (sorry, this ones out of order).
When Pastor Dobson asked for volunteers Emily and John were more then willing. But that could have changed when Pastor Dobson said that we would be dressing them up as a scarecrow. This is Emily before she was dressed up.
Sarah and I fixing her shirt
Megan doing the doing the coloring with colorful markers.
And the finished product! :)

Fall Picture

Mom took this picture last year at Warren Woods. I thought I'd share since it is so pretty. I think, maybe a new post (more interesting post) will come soon.
