Party at the Prairies

Friday before Halloween we went to a harvest party for our housing community at the club house. It was simple, but the kids had fun. We walked down with the Thompsons. They went to a bouncy house (big thing around here right? I mean how many times have I blogged about the kids in some kind of inflatable??) and played at the playground. We then grabbed some pizza, punch and cookies.

Behind the club house is a pond for fishing. The kids (Trouble, Dynomite, and Thompson kiddos #1 & #2) went down to the pond to throw rocks in. While they were down by the pond, there was costume party going on. I called Trouble up. When he came he was soaking wet! He said he fell in....where was I?? His friend from church won the contest. He was a bottle of Raid. His sisters were ladybugs. It was very clever.

A side story: When we first moved here we went to church at the building that was the closest to us. However, it was the wrong ward! But we met a really great couple that had us over for dinner. Well, time passed and I never took the chance to have them over. I saw them at this party! It was great to reconnect, but they didn't remember us. Ha Ha, that's what we get for procrastinating a friendship!!

After that we gathered the kiddos, got some treats and glow sticks and stood in line for the hayride. I called home to see if Travis had arrived. He was home and ran down to join us.

After that we went home, had dinner, and dropped the kids off for our Friday night date.
