Our week at Blacket

This week was a pretty eventful week for some of us.  Jim celebrated his birthday with lots of special homemade gifts from JT and Ella, and our first attempt at a cake from scratch....it actually was very good! 


 He also had to play Mr. Mom this week because I came down with a nasty scottish virus which has left me with a cough and fever for about 9 days now....good news is that I feel like I am finally on the mend!
Yesterday was also our Fall Festival at Blacket.  The Festival was a community event for the flats here organized by a bunch of the moms.  We had cupcakes/carmel apples/candy corn (from the States!), fingernail painting, face painting, and various games and activities.  Once again Jim took the crew as my fever kept me inside, but I could hear all the laughter and fun and here are some pictures from the event.
It's Fall Festival time at Blacket!


Yummy food and fingernail painting??!!!  Was that Ella's favorite part?


No, Ella's favorite was the face painting!


Ella and Hannah: Two Beautiful Blacket Butterflies!

And what about JT?  Was his favorite playing football with James?

Or bobbing......
And bobbing.....and bobbing some more....

for apples?!  Finally, one with a stem!




No, JT's favorite was the lantern release at the end of the festival (just like in the movie "Tangled")

Up it goes..........

And away.......the perfect finale to our fall festival 2011!
