Pre-School Fall Festival

Peyton's & Owen's pre-school had a fall festival tonight. Might as well get multiple uses out of those costumes, right? What do you think of our firefighter and his dalmation???
Here is our beautiful ballerina!
And a leopard!
We brought Kellen's friend, Betsy, with us. They both went to Kindergarten there last year, so they have good memories of past festivals, plus loved seeing former teachers and friends.
Owen and his good buddy, Meyer. Meyer is a big topic of conversation around our house. Owen colors pictures for him, tells me what they played at school, etc. Meyer is even the incentive we've found most useful for potty training Owen! We told him he could have Meyer over for a playdate when he's potty trained!

Dorothy, er, I mean, Deann, and Peyton have been good friends since they were together in their 2 yr. old class. She's a sweet, sweet, girl!
Betsy and Kellen. They first met during their 4 yr. old year of pre-school, and play so easily together. They seem to have loved each other since day one, and take good care of each other. We loved getting to bring Betsy along with us tonight!
One of the many "stations" they had tonight was a little train ride out in the parking lot. It was a hit!
The big blow-up slide had to be the other top attraction. I couldn't even count how many times I saw one of my children flying down this thing!
Of course these kinds of events have to be parent-manned, so Brian and I's favorite parts of the night (NOT) were working the tattoo table and soccer goal game! Feeding 7 of us for $9 was a deal, though! And thankfullly, there was a $25 cap on the wrist-bands, since we had 5 kiddos with us! Ahhh, the things we do for our kids!
