Homeowner's association Halloween Festival

Yes, Jason is still in Lubbock, and I felt compelled, yet again to get them all dressed up in their costumes and take them down to the green area in our neighborhood for the Halloween Festival. They had a costume parade, a bounce house, bounce slides, a magic show, and a bake sale. They all paraded in the costume parade, then watched the magic show where they all got balloon swords :-). Then on to the bounce slides and bounce house.

I had an altercation with one of the boys in the bounce house, and I was all ready on edge from the monsoon halloween festival the night before. He (about 7) was pushing other children down. I warned him that he would have to get out if he pushed another child down, after the 3rd. He chose to push someone else down, so I told him to get out. Thank goodness he did, or I would have gone in there and gotten him out! then another little boy about 4, was pushing other children down too, including Kaden and Colin. He pulled Colin down the 3rd time, and Colin kicked him in the nose! The kid got out crying, and I checked to make sure he wasn't bleeding. He wasn't. Colin was devastated that he had hurt him. I told him he shouldn't hurt a boy smaller than him, but that the little boy should have not been pushing him down. Poor Colin :-(.

Overall, everyone had a great time! Kaden said his favorite part was the magic show. He was enthralled. Katharine said her favorite part was the bounce house. Colin said his favorite was buying a piece of cake, all by himself, from the bake sale. He was very proud :-).
