It was the school’s Pumpkin Bust event on Friday, and the boys were excited.  They were happy to wear the event shirts to school, and as soon as I returned from work at the end the day, they were ready to head back to school.  When we arrived at the blacktop, the event was in full swing.  We walked quickly around to check out the food offering; the boys decided on pizza and I waited in line at a hotdog truck.  We all then met up at a long picnic table with some of Connor’s kindergarten families to have our dinner.  Soon after the boys had a full tummies, they were ready to check out the activities.  They started with the book fair and came back to show me the cool books they bought.  Then we played some carnival games, and afterward Connor and I took off on our own to try the Cake Walk that Connor was looking forward to.  Connor wanted me to play with him and since there were a few adults too, both of us waited in line.  It was our turn and Connor was happily marching while the music played.  When the music stopped, I was left with no spot to stand on, so I had to separate with Connor as I was directed to move to a free spot.  I was just hanging out there and not paying attention, and it turned out I was standing in the winning spot.  I was a bit embarrassed winning a kid game, so I hurried over to grab Connor to cheer for our winning.  We then selected a yummy looking small double chocolate cake for our reward.  Connor was so thrilled to share the great news with Stuart and Logan.  I was feeling great that I was lucky to win the Cake Walk two years in a row too.  The boys played a few more games and buy a few small toys until our tickets were used up.  Then we started our trek home with a full bag of goodies.
