Parades, Pumpkins, & Parties

Parade!

This was a big day for the for the girls at their preschool! It was the Halloween Parade! Sporting their favorite costumes all the children paraded around the parking lot twice. While waiting for the parade to begin, Mommy, Daddy, and Noah discussed if the girls would actually continue the parade route after spotting us. We waited. We wondered. We wowed! Spying us first, Yaya broke ranks and ran to Daddy. However, Ms. Mary her teacher, called her back to the line and she happily went. Eden seemed anxious and didn’t like the sun in her eyes, but she had a smile on her face. Slowly shuffling around the parking lot the entire school was decked out and looked amazing. We were extremely proud of the girls.

Pumpkins!

Bling’ing out your pumpkin is super fun! Just ask my girls. The top two pumpkins (Eden’s then Yaya’s) were made at preschool. I had thought we would carve our family pumpkins like normal. Interestingly, we did not. Favoring glue and hands on activity the girls instead “decorated” their own pumpkins. We bought a bunch of gems and googlie eyes and masterpieces were created. Yaya’s is the middle row and Eden’s is the bottom. Noah bought a pumpkin but did nothing with it. Pumpkins have never really been his thing. Viva la BLING!

Preschool Party!

Partying preschool style! We had a fun time at the girls Halloween party. The room was decorated so cute, the green and purple spiders you see with the girls names on them were on the door, each child had a spider they made. Amazing is a good word to describe the room moms who went all out for this party. Check out the mummy juice boxes and the owl marshmallow graham cracker treats. Noah was able to come with me and help out with the girls. Thankful for the help, I let him craft with Yaya and then eat all her party food. Pictures had to be taken with favorite friends. The opposite page top left is Eden with Chase. Top right is Yaya with Natalie. Bottom left is Eden with Natalie (she is a popular friend, clearly). Bottom right is Yaya with Addison. While I didn’t take a picture of them, the girls were given Halloween themed canvas bags with their names on them, which were made by another mom. It was good they had them because the amount of candy that was sent in was unreal. The girls loved having Noah and I celebrate with them and we all had a fun time together. Halloween 2013
