So to round out the month of festivals - it was our own city's turn. Berkeley Lake hosted its annual festival this past weekend. And they put on a great event again. Same "attractions" as last year - the jumpies, face painting, pumpkin decorating, games for prizes, scavenger hunts and finally the candy in the hay search. We usually hang out for the full two hours - and this year we followed suit. Hatcher was too excited to nap so he powered through until 2 pm - which was the start of the festival, but Aidan couldn't hold out. He crashed around 12:50p - but when I woke him to tell him about the jumpies - he was up and alert and ready to go. Derek was out sick - his sinus infection took a turn for the worse and went to his ears. He had enough and spent a few hours in the am at a minute clinic for some antibiotics. So, while he was resting in bed, the kids and I spent the afternoon at the party. It was a great afternoon. The boys had a good time. It is great to watch them play together. They really get along so well. They are always looking out to make sure the other is in tow...and wanting to share each new adventure with the other. We really lucked up in that department. Don't get me wrong - they bicker...but they are really good friends first. Derek and I are really loving these ages. Now - if they would only sleep all night long - without getting up to go potty in our bathroom and then sneaking into our bed. One day...one day!
