School carnival

It's amazing how excited kid's get for something like school carnivals. We gave the children a certain amount of tickets and they got to decide what to do with them. The first was of course the face painting (which came off as soon as we came home). The best photo ops of course came after my camera batteries decided to die (which I had just changed the day before). I missed some good pictures of the kids on a "tractor" ride as well as a pony ride, where Sam was amazingly still and let the girls hold him without even squirming. It wasn't much, but the children enjoyed themselves. I also have to mention that I felt like I should volunteer in some way, but not wanting to take time away from spending it with my children at the carnival, I signed up to clean up after. I realized how silly this was (being 7 months pregnant - moving tables etc) but was going to go anyway and try to be of some help, when Mark stepped in and took my spot. What a great act of service for me. Thanks Mark.
