The Thomas Hart Academy Halloween Carnival…

My little pumpkin!

One of McCanless’ friends, Nancy Jane was at the carnival too! (McCanless calls her N.J.)

Sherry, Shea, Daddy and McCanless!

Every so often, McCanless would duck into the cake walk, circle around a few times and then leave. I think she liked the music! (The cake walk is a bit like musical chairs. Music would play and everyone would walk around the cake table. When music stopped, everyone would freeze and a number would be pulled out of a hat. The person who landed on that number would win a cake from the table) I don’t think McCanless was concerned about winning a cake. She was just as happy with her bag of popcorn.

Jacob and Caleb Caldwell!

This isn’t a costume contest! McCanless just wanted to jump up on stage and dance with the “big girls.” Music was playing and some of the little girls were performing dance routines, and just playing around. Of course my little ham had to get up there. Not only did she dance with them, she grabbed a cowboy hat that was on stage for decoration, tossed it on top of her head and got right out front! My little chunky pumpkin was bobbing away in front of everyone!
