Friday was a Halloween party marathon. Fun, fun, fun! I woke up (very excited), dressed in my flapper costume (yes, I finished it) donned some fabulous red lipstick, and headed to wake R from her deep slumber. She (slowly) came to, rubbed her eyes, looked at me and said, "Mom. You are not going to my school like that!" Laughing I said, "honey, not only am I going to your school like this...but, I'm going to tell everyone I'm your mom!" She just gave me a sheepish grin.
Her parade and party started at 8:15. It was fun being in her classroom...nice group of kids. And, although I was the only mom dressed up...I think she was glad I was there.
After being there for a few hours, I headed home to get C ready for his afternoon party. By the time I started partying with 18 four year olds, I was slowly losing my "Halloween High". But, I rallied and had lots of fun with his class too. They were quite a bit more leery of my monster slime, eyeballs, and worms than the 3rd graders...but, a few put on their brave face and felt the scary goo!
We were finally home...the flapper, race car driver, and jeanie. We only had a little time to rest before the fun started all over again. As soon as Mr. C got home I asked him to please take my picture - so, I could disrobe my costume. (I couldn't last the rest of the night in fishnets!)
I made some yummy, apple - chicken chili for dinner...got the kiddos decked out in their duds...lit the jack-o-lanterns...and we were ready to go!
Mr. C took them around for the first half - while I handed out candy...and then we switched. It was a pretty quiet night...but, the kids got lots of candy and were ready to call it a night by 7:30.
Another fun Halloween behind us....
