The first weekend in October was a busy one. Friday was EHS Homecoming and the kids were excited about the parade and game. We dressed them in their purple and white and went to "the hill" at First Baptist. There were kids running around and throwing footballs all over the place. They ran around some but it was really hot, so we walked across the street to be in the shade to watch the parade. Michelle, Carson and Cooper Henry and Kendall Bonsall watched with us. Grammy, Papaw and G.G. joined us as well. The kids waved, marched, danced . . . they thoroughly enjoyed the parade, which was pretty good for a high school homecoming parade. A state trouper gave them each a teddy bear as we were leaving, which they thought was cool. We went to Minute Man with Mitch's parents and enjoyed some yummy cheese dip before going home to rest up before the game. The game was very crowded! We made it through the third quarter; El Dorado shut out Sheridan, so we didn't miss much.
On Saturday, Mitch bought us Spudnuts for breakfast. Spudnuts are an El Dorado original (or at least they are not found many places). If you have grown up eating them, you think they are the best donut out there! That morning we took the kids to the St. Paul Pumpkin Patch. The kids climbed the hay stacks, went through the tunnel, played on a tire swing, played in some corn, picked out pumpkins, etc. Ainsley even got her face painted like a cat. We came home with several pumpkins for the porch. This is a great fundraiser for St. Paul and I'm so glad they do it every year.
On Sunday, each kid had a birthday party to go to. Will went to Holden's 5th birthday party and Ainsley went to Canaan's 3rd birthday party. This was Ainsley's first party invite. Mitch was not super happy that it was for a boy, but they are Sunday School friends. She is still talking about going to Canaan's "Birthday House".
