I'm so excited for our October Macaroni Morning Out at Jeter Farm this Thursday starting at 10am!  Jeter Farm is only open during the week for special groups, so this is a great way to enjoy their farm without all the crowds of a typical weekend!  We can do a hayride to the pumpkin patch, get lost in the corn maze, see the farm animals, and don't forget to pack your picnic lunch!  (And, don't tell on me, but I'm taking my own kiddos out of school to join us because I want them to experience this too. shhhhh!)  

Another important note:  Costume drop off for our swap starts this week!  It is very easy and quick to do.  The drop off table is set up inside the LFA Consignment Sale and you just drop your costume(s) in the designated container, sign-up on our form, and pick up your swap ticket(s) {one ticket per costume}.  That's it!  Please contact me if you have any questions or need to make other arrangments to drop off your costumes!   And, if you are coming to Jeter Farm and plan to swap, bring your costumes to me then and I'll have swap tickets ready for you!

We have a couple fabulous giveaways this week!  Roanoke Children's Theatre presentation of Pinkalicious begins Oct 17th and we have a family 4-pack of tickets to giveaway to the performance of your choice!  And, this week we also have an Origami Owl giveaway {$25 in HOOT LOOT} for one lucky Macaroni Kid subscriber!  Plus, you can learn how Origami Owl just might be the opportunity you and your daughter have been looking for to work together and earn money!
