Axtell Days

The Axtell Harvest Festival was on Saturday. The parade always comes right by our house, so we just sit out in our front yard. This time Teala and I brought the bench around so a few of the adults could sit on it. The kids really had a blast and everytime they threw something other than candy out, Elishia would come running up with his face all scrunched up in a laugh, saying "mommy, look look, this isn't candy!" Teala and Elishia accidentally held up the parade for a few minutes, not knowing they were in front of one of the floats, because Teala was trying to help Elishia get candy. Jesse had a blast too, sitting in his stroller unbuckled. He really liked the horses and the bull. Elishia kept trying to get all of the big trucks to honk their horns, even the ones that weren't semis. One guy saw Elishia makin the signal to blow his horn, and the guy was makin faces and tryin to honk his horn, and Elishia thought it was funny. Victoria did very good at bingo, although she didn't win anything. Mom won a 5$ gift certificate to both Big B in Seneca, and Carolyns Kitchen in Marysville. I won "undergarment cleaner" or what I like to call Panty Soap, and a 5$ gift certificate to the Quilt Basket in Seneca. Our neighbor owns the Quilt Basket, and we went in there today and I picked out a pair of good scissors for my scrapbooking, that way I won't have to replace the scissors I've been using since I was in the 4th grade. It's not that we couldn't buy another pair, it's just that I like those scissors.
