Halloween Carnival

The Halloween Carnival was a huge success! The second grade class had the balloon stomp and the fish pond and we volunteered our hands at the 4th and 5th grade concession stand! Mom & Dad came out to watch Shyanne's last home game of the season, and we 45d Dell City. So, the game was short & sweet. Then, Saturday morning we started the preparation for the 2nd grade booths. Omie & Opie were huge helps and we couldn't have pulled everything off without their help this weekend. We stuffed numbers into 163 balloons and used an air compressor to blow them up and tied them. We set everything up for both booths, delivered the tables to the concession stand and were ready for our little ghosts and goblins by 1:30 Saturday. Then, the other parents were supposed to help so that Omie & Opie could play most of the carnival. Needless to say, that's not how it worked out. I had one dad show up for first shift and Mrs. Mendoza and Mrs. Henderson helped on the second shift. Dad & Preston worked the 2nd Grade booth with me almost the whole time and Mom started my 5:00 shift at the concession stand until Mrs. Mendoza relieved me so that I could take my shift at the 4th & 5th grade table. It was really crazy but a huge success! We made $79.50 for the second grade class and I haven't heard what our profit was at the 4th & 5th tables.
Last weekend we had the 4H Auction and brought in around $6200 for our 4H Club. I thought that was amazing!
The kids had a fast and furious Halloween. I'm sorry my digital camera went caput. I'm kind of lost without it. They had a wonderful visit with Omie & Opie. We started target practice yesterday. Wyatt is going to shoot his first deer this coming mule deer season. He is so excited about putting "meat on our table." Shyanne is going back and forth as to whether she wants to or not. I told her not to worry, everything will come in time. Dakota is full of it as usual. He helped Preston and I shoe horses this morning and is knocking his daddy's footsteps out today.
Please say a prayer for Cindy Kelso. She's a very sweet lady in town that is having surgery on her colon this week to remove tumors, gallstones and her appendix. They are hoping that the cancer has not spread and it is looking promising. She could use that extra lift from up above though.
Y'all have a great week.
