Halloween fell on a Monday this year, one of the first times in my kids' lives that it was on a "regular" school day. This made for an interesting day - small parties at school, then a quick trip home to change into costumes for the real parties!
Violet's class made spiders out of oreo cookies and pretzels as their snack for their party.
She also made two crafts - a cotton swab skeleton, and a cute painted candy corn.
In Cora's class, another mom painted some of the children's faces, while the students ate a treat. For me and the other room mom, being in the class to help with the party was our treat! Mrs. Shafarman doesn't use parent volunteers very often, preferring the children to have more independence from their parents.
The kids also made a pumpkin out of paper strips, and ate a banana ghost and jack o' orange.
After school, we got home and got ready - this time, we painted all of Violet's face to go along with her leopard costume.
Then we went over to Jen and Jason's annual party, where after getting a snack, I went with the kids to the nearby park.
Back at home, we met up with my family and our neighbor friends for trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.
You can see the pumpkin Violet and Stace carved on the left, and our friendly skeleton-in-a-casket.
Violet got a little tired while we were out, and is still little enough to be carried by Auntie Cat. You can see the resemblance between the kitties in the family!
Neighbor friends, with a scary decoration.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
