< fall festival >

Being the great mom and photographer that I am (snort!), I opted not to tote my camera around to capture my son's first fall festival at school last Thursday. I went to the trouble of formatting the memory cards, swapping the lens, packing it all in my camera bag, putting the bag in the vehicle, and then making sure the alarm was set when I left it inside the vehicle. Thankfully, we have one "during" picture that Joe captured on his Blackberry:
This was Jacob inside the M*A*S*H tent getting his 'booboo' from Mrs. Burgess' husband. It looked pretty gross when all was said and done. Mrs. Burgess told him he needed to come up with a story about his booboo when other people would ask "How'd you get that?" So it ended up being, "An alligator bit me. But you should see the alligator!" =)

What I do have are pictures of the REMNANTS of fall festival... captured 4 days later. I wish I could say that they only lasted 4 days after the fact... but they lingered for the better part of a week. I think they would have lingered indefinitely had it not been for an intervention with Mary Kay eye makeup remover and LOTS of elbow grease.

His bunny, named "Cutie"... and the bellybutton locator?? THERE it is!

In the end, a fun time was had by all and I will be sure to tote a camera next time to capture the action. =)
