Halloween--trick or treat.

The girls planned their own costumes this year . . . Presley was a pumpkin fairy and Stella was a kitty.  Even Chris joined in the fun and put on a costume of his own making.

 

The girls were pretty excited to see dad in a tutu--they had to teach him a few moves, though they will need to hep him out more if he is going to do them correctly.  As for me and my costume, the giant, fake, pink eyelashes were just too much and I ended up with red, tired eyes after wearing them for most of the day.  It was a wonderfully warm and beautiful Halloween this year!

School Halloween Party.

I went to Presley's class today to help out with the Halloween party.  We played games, ate gooey green goo, played BINGO, and dressed up as mummies (no costumes allowed at school).  Stella tagged along for the fun and we had a good time.

"Witches Bones" made out of pretzels and mini-marshmallows dipped in white chocolate.

Presley wanted a face drawn on her mummy.

Stella is a happy mummy!  She was so excited to be in Presley's first grade class.

Halloween BINGO.

Gooey goo.

23 first graders can be a crazy bunch, and I now have a new respect for teachers and all they do (I am sure I had respect before, but I now know I could not have been a school teacher).
