We began with work. Wayne was feeling sick so he stayed home with the girls while I set up the carnival. I got to partner with 2 moms from Sara’s class. By the end of the time, I had been to every booth. It was a good preview. I even got to tour the haunted house with the lights on. I think we’re going to stay away from the haunted house for a few years. One of the funnest parts was seeing all the cool Halloween cakes people made for the cake walk.
Wayne brought the girls later. The place was packed by the time they got here. We found several of Sara’s friends. Laura would not have anything to do with the cupcake walk other than to demand the cupcakes. She quickly became fascinated with the dunking booth. She liked getting wet when someone was dunked. It was fun that every kid got to dunk the adult, accurate aim or not. Then Laura discovered the bouncy house. I got her in and she was ok when she stood next to me. Once there were lots of excited boys. The next time with mostly girls and her sister got Laura some confidence and she started having fun. Fun or not, she was determined to bounce. We bundled a tired, overstimulated Laura to bed.
