We had a great Family Festival last night at Garnett. One of the attractions was the Bungie Run / Joust combo. The idea is to play king/queen of the mountain and push each other off. My husband didn’t get the memo. Take a look at this incriminating video on his blog. www.wadehodges.com

My sons stealthily moved from house to house last night in the cover of darkness as ninjas. Of course mom was close behind with the flashlight. Elijah was dressed as a garden variety ninja and Caleb was of the Teenage Mutant sort. Halloween is starting to get really fun around the Hodges [...]
