The Fun Fest at the elementary was this past Friday. Our football team had the week off so it was the perfect week for it. Halle was chosen the queen of her class this year. John Patrick Cothren was chosen the king. Every year the school has the Fun Fest to raise money for the school. This year I believe a little over $8000 was raised. Each room sets up little games that cost a quarter to play, and each class choose kings and queens to represent the class. The kings and queens put together a table outside their classroom and people put money in the bucket of the class they like best. Mainly families contribute to the kings and queens. Every year a theme is chosen, and this year it was all about OUTLAWS. Mrs. Cothren, who is the principle at the high school, had some of her art students make the score board. It was the cutest thing. They had put alot of thought it to it. They put Halle and John Patrick's ages for the score and on the downs they put 2nd down 11 to go.
Halle and John Patrick placed 1st runner up raising just $17 short of winning. Halle said that it was the best night of her life!! I'm guessing she didn't care as long as she got a crown and trophy. :)
The twins enjoyed themselves that night. They were quite the hit and even got some campaigning in for Jessica Steele a friend of my brothers who is running for judge. Notice the signs on them in the picture. Poor Sydney had the stomach virus that day and missed out on all the fun. That is another story....

Oh my, I remember those days in elementary school all so well! I believe back then it was called the Halloween Carnival, and the king and queens wore gowns and suits and really dressed up. How fun that you guys are reliving those days with your own children. Halle looks beautiful! I'm hoping to run into your brother at the AR vs. SC game next Sat. We are going and taking the boys. Have a great Halloween!
