Fun night in downtown Bryan

We went to the Texas Reds Festival last night in downtown Bryan. It was such a great time, a fun mixture of a big festival combined with First Friday. Face (and arm) painting was the first huge hit, followed by balloon animals, paint-your-own-pumpkin, and a King family favorite, turkey legs. We spent a little time watching an outdoor movie which was quickly spoiled by 2 trains coming by about 100 yards away. Then I felt as if the night wasn't complete unless I sent my kids into a sugar-coma by feeding them sno-cones and cotton candy at 8:30.

Some recommendations

Here are a couple of things I've been wanting to post about.

First, my talented husband has a new CD out. It's an EP of 5 worship songs. It's really good and only $5. The kids and I  had a really great worship time this morning, singing and dancing around the room. It was so good to hear my kids singing out that God is Undefeatable and Our God is Victorious, He always wins...He always wins. Go here to buy yourself (and maybe a few friends) a copy or here to download.

Also, Ross wrote and recorded a song of John 1:1-7 so that the kids could memorize it easily. It's in English and he also recorded a Latin version. For any of  you in Classical Conversations, this is exactly what our kids are learning this year! And its so easy to memorize to the music. Yay! Go here to get it.

Lastly, my sister-in-law, Christie just opened up an Etsy store of her cute creations. She is very talented. If you've been to my house, you've seen the adorable yarn wreath she made me for the spring. I had her make me one for the fall and it's on its way. I can't wait to get it. If you're the kind of person who spends money on your house in the fall, direct a little money her way and get yourself a cute wreath. It will last for many years, unlike the pumpkins. :-)
