Kindergarten Party

On the day before Halloween, Violet and her kindergarten classmates were allowed to wear their costumes to school and parade around. First, they sang a few songs and paraded for the parents. Then, they walked through every class in the school. Violet decided she would be a zebra for the school dress-up time.

When they had returned, Christina and I had set up the Halloween party, with help from the other parents. She and I are sharing the room mom duties for Mrs. Hawthorne.

The children went through three stations during the parties. They put together a snack, with a tangerine "pumpkin," half banana "ghost" and pudding cup graveyard scene. They also made a craft, and I led a station of reading Halloween books.





Here's the craft Violet made: a monster, from various shapes that Christina and I cut out the week before. The children have been learning about shapes, so there was a nice tie-in.

I had a few flashback moments during Violet's party - how on earth has it been three years since Cora had her turn parading with her kindergarten friends?

After school on Friday, we went to lunch at IHOP with a large group of friends, for a free pancake promotion they were offering kids.

With so many children, it was a bit exhausting! Especially after the long few days of partying. We went home for some downtime, before Stace and I were to head out for a late night with friends at Fright Fest. More on that, later!
