Give it up for .......

.....the cutest Wizard of Oz characters around. The Scarecrow, Dorothy, and Glinda the Good Witch from the North. Tonight was the Fall Festival at our church. We had a great time. The kids loved wearing their costumes. Reese was a trooper and loved the entire evening. Raylee even won the costume contest for ages 0-2! There were lots of games, a bounce house, a hay ride and plenty of food. Both Ryland and Raylee won goodies at the cake walk. Such a great evening. Since Leland couldn't attend, my friend Donna joined me to help with the kids. I couldn't have done it without her. With 3 kids, 2 hands just isn't enough.

Sandy and I ended up creating the scarecrow.

I think it turned out quite well even with all our frustrations with that hat.

Raylee was such a cute Dorothy.

She LOVED her sparkly red shoes and the basket with "Toto."

Reese did great. She wore that foam crown all evening. I'm so glad we found that butterfly wand since she ate on it all evening.

They were so cute together. Since I lost my voice today I had to have Ryland help keep Raylee around because I couldn't talk loud enough for her to hear me. They were precious going through the maze together.

Donna helped so much by carrying Reese for me.

Reese made it until the very end and finally crashed on Donna.

As we were walking out, I noticed Raylee walking with her head on her shoulder. I guess she was wanting to sleep on a shoulder and hers was handy.

Thank you so much to Sandy for helping me finish the kids costumes. Ryland's hat turned into a major ordeal, but we got it all finished. Thank you so much for your help.
