School Fun Run and Painting Pumpkins

The kids had their 2nd Fun Run fundraiser for school, and yet again, the weather did not cooperate.

The first year it was known in advance that there would be an entire day of rain, so they planned for the Fun Run indoors.

This year, it was just a *chance* for rain so they proceeded getting everything set up outside (which allowed for a lot more room).

It rained - a lot (like a crazy downpour) while the kids were out running.

So they postponed the run, moved everything indoors and tried again inside.  With a bunch of wet, soggy kids.

Here they are dry, pre-downpour

And soaking wet!

They had a lot of fun and our school met their fundraising goal yet again.

The next weekend I took Colin and Maggie to paint some wooden pumpkins.

This was the same place that we made our 'Teson established' sign a year ago.

They had the pumpkins already painted and then you got to pick which face you wanted to put on, and in what colors...

Colin's finished products

Maggie's masterpieces

And a group photo!

It only took about 20 minutes and was a lot of fun!
