The Winn Family: Fall Happenings

This Fall was very busy. Packed full of fun family time. We did a little dove hunting, not near as much as Wilson would have liked. We are lucky that the Hevner's welcome us to their place every dove season. We always have so much fun there, shooting birds, skeet, and feeding cows.

We also went to playgroup with some of our favorite friends and painted pumpkins. For those who know me, know that Fall is my favorite season, so pumpkin painting was right up my alley. The boys had so much fun and their pumpkins looked great on our front porch!

We also celebrated Wilson's 31st birthday in October. Nothing big, but we did have his grandmother, sister, and niece and nephew over for baked potato soup and chocolate pie. The boys thought it was so fun to hang a "Happy Birthday" banner and help me make Daddy's cake!

And last but not least we wrapped up October with a little Halloween fun! William was really into finding the perfect costume this year. In years past I have just picked one out and he was happy with it, but not this time. He was dead set on being Batman, and not just any Batman, the one with the muscles. My original plan was for William to be Batman and Keaton to be Robin, but Keaton fell in love with a Lightning McQueen costume (with muscles) so I gave in. Every year our church, Cowboy Fellowship, hosts a Fall Festival. This is an awesome event that is free to the public. We have tons of fun booths, games, candy, and several interesting ways of presenting the message of salvation. We always look forward to Fall Festival and the fun and fellowship it brings. Wilson, is a Lay Pastor at our church so he needed to be at Fall Festival early to help set up and help make sure things run smoothly, so my mom came over to help me with the kids. We began the night with a stop by Wilson's aunt and uncle's house. Every year they have a Halloween party for their neighborhood. The kids had lots of fun there and we had a hard time convincing them to leave, but there was more fun in store for them. Next we stopped by Wilson's grandmother's assisted living home. That was so much fun! All the residents sat outside their doors and handed out candy. From there we finally headed to the park for Fall Festival. After visiting many booths and collecting ALOT of candy, my mom took the boys home while Wilson and I stayed to help clean up the park. We had a very busy but fun evening and I so enjoyed watching the boys in action!
