Awana Carnival

We had our Awana's carnival last night. I forgot my camera! So I will have to describe to you all that we did. We started off with Hot dogs and chips and a coke! Mmmm they were yummy, not nutritional in the least but very yummy. Then the booths opened.

We had a fishing game, a guess how much candy is in the jar game, a cookie walk, a bucket throw game, a bouncing house, a pie in your face game (you got to pick your Awana leader and throw a pie tin with whipped cream in their face! thankfully nobody picked me), an egg smashing race (if you went down a line and back with your egg still on your spoon then you got to splat it on the head of the one who dropped the egg) (that was a hit, yuck!), and a golfing game. Every booth had lots of prizes and candy, some large candy like a candy bar and such, and some small like a smarties or sweetarts. The prizes were large and small also.

Then Mr. MgGruff came and did a puppet show with the kids trying to get them to believe in themselves and not to do drugs. Although not doing drugs is a Christian principle (being filled with the Holy Spirit instead) the believing in yourself I didn't like, but my kids have been drilled enough that it isn't us that we need to believe in, it is in God and not ourselves that we believe in, that they knew the falicy right away and told me so. They went along with the program anyway. (yeah for my kids)

Then was the big giveaways, whoever guessed closest to the candy jar amount won the candy jar and guess who won, yes Isabella, she loves candy and this was a great win for her. An American Idol Kareoke machine was the next giveaway (each awana clubber who came to each meeting with all their requirements was awarded a ticket each time to put their name in, so we potentially had about 50 tickets between Isabella and Zech in there). Hallelujah, we didn't win. Of course the kids were disappointed but dear old mom was not! Someone elses mom has to listen to those songs over and over and over again. The God of all wonders hears my prayers before they are ever answered (and yes he cares about our little wishes of not wanting a kareoke machine). Well as you can tell they had a blast and even got to take handfuls of candy home!

Way to go Awana Clubbers!
