What A Frenzy It Was

A couple friends and I decided to plan and host a fall-themed party this past weekend for the two playgroups that we are a part of.  We decided to call it “Fall Frenzy”.  We wanted to have a fun party where we could all get together, eat a yummy meal, and have fall activities for the kids to do.  We had chili, cornbread, hotdogs, and desserts to eat, and activities such as painting pumpkins, hand/face painting, coloring, and a craft for the kids to enjoy.  We even made “Fall Frenzy” t-shirts for the kids!  We also had a “theme” verse: Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”  It was so wonderful to spend time with friends and watch our little ones have fun and play together.  Judah was a little young to really appreciate the activities, but we tried to get him involved.  Eric ended up doing one craft project all by himself.  Judah’s two favorite activities were running around and playing with crayons (but not actually coloring with them).  Here are some pictures of our day!

The Activities

Eating, of course...

Our attempt at getting Judah to sit and do an activity with daddy.

The very nice craft...made by daddy.

Judah's first experience getting his face painted. 

Judah kept wanting to eat the paintbrush at first, but he eventually got the hang of it...

Finished product-good job Meghan!

Daddy teaching Judah how to sign his name...I guess it's never too early. :)

The Kids

This is most of our playgroup kids.  They are too cute! 

It was a full afternoon of fun and “frenzy”, but at the end of the day I am most grateful for how blessed we are to have such wonderful friends to do life with!
